Ability to export record numbers included in a rollup
It would be nice to have the ability to export all the bibliographic record numbers in a rollup instead of having to click on the details for each individual record included in a rollup. This practice makes it very tedious to sort out incorrect rollups especially when there can be up to 20+ records on a single tab.

Improve Hero carousel scheduling
It is great to have the ability to schedule content for Vega Home Page. This could be even better if scheduling for Hero Carousel elements was more flexible. Ideally, it would be nice to be able to schedule individual Hero images to be added and removed from the carousel independently.
I would like to be able to schedule the hero block to display always (or for a defined period) and then assign dates for different images included to be added and removed within it independently.
If that isn't possible, please add the ability to copy/clone a hero carousel so that…

Bring back autofilling the 'Showcase block title'.
Recently this was fixed in Vega intentionally, however this auto-filling used to save our staff time in their weekly tasks. Ideally when you select a showcase, the title would be auto populated into the 'Showcase block title' box. Instead, it remains unchanged from the previous showcase. In the page preview, the showcase itself successfully changes (the books reflect the new selection), but the title doesn't update. This means our staff must type in the title each time.

Perpetual Search Bar
Keep the search bar throughout ALL Discover pages. Similar to Google or any search engine - it should always be at the top and would make searching more convenient because it would avoid having to navigate back to the home page of the catalog.

Add checkboxes to Checkouts view so patrons can select items to renew
We think it is very important to provide patrons the option to Select Items to Renew, which would display checkboxes in front of each item for the patron to select multiple checkboxes to renew together.

Consistent display of first available item Vega retrieves for works if a library has multiple items attached.
We have several multi-volume titles (graphic novels, travel guides, etc.) along with Library of Things title records that involve varying items owned by the same library requiring different call numbers and we’re finding some instances of Vega showing call number information of different copies depending on window of a rollup (main title work rollup, “Find a Copy” window, when clicking a specific library in list after clicking on “Find a Copy”) resulting in some confusion of library members and patron. To be consistent across at least the first two windows would be helpful. Please see attached for example.

Item specific (not volume specific) holds
We understand that we are already supposed to be able to place volume level holds on materials. (It's not working for us, even when we have the volume info entered correctly, so we have reported it as a bug.) However, our staff and patrons would also like the ability for patrons to be able to place item level holds when there is NO volume info entered and the record is NOT a periodical or other serial.

Add a dedicated copy button to Vega Item/Barcode Window
A small handful of our libraries have reported issues copying barcodes and BibID's from Vega's lightbox and pasting into Sierra. Apparently irregular expressions like a new line can sometimes be selected and Sierra will not paste anything afterward; giving these staff members the impression that nothing copied over.
We've explained that they can double-click the text to select only it but it would be helpful if there was a dedicated copy to clipboard button next to these fields to minimize confusion.
An example implementation would be https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_copy_clipboard.asp

Admin control of Staff-created showcases and saved searches
When staff create showcases and then are no longer with the library, there is no way the Admin can "take over" the showcase to maintain it. The only option is to delete the showcase and re-create it. Same with saved searches. If a reference librarian has created a saved search but leaves the library, search would have to be re-created.

Add the ability to mask one of the locations listed on patron account in Vega
When a patron is logged into Vega on their My Bookshelf profile, three options are displayed under location. We would like the ability to mask either Home Library or Registered Library Branch. Both options are usually the same for our patrons so we would like the ability to mask one of these options to avoid confusion. See the attached photo of the three current locations displayed when a patron is viewing their profiles in Vega.

Sort order of attached items should match the sort order in Sierra.
Sort order of attached items should match the sort order in Sierra. Series can then display is order by volume not by date published which results in displaying the last volume first.

Add a Search Filter for Game Platforms to Vega
The filter options that are currently available in Vega don't allow patrons to search by video game platform. We would like to see a new filter or a subfilter for the Format facet that would allow users to refine the search results by console/platform. In our catalog a game like Overcooked, which has multiple editions for Nintendo Switch, XBox, and PlayStation consoles, brings up 14 different results that a patron would need to click into to find the platform for each. With a platform filter they could select Nintendo Switch and apply that to the search to end up with…

Standardize/improve the buttons and options at the top of search results
I know the information display on search result cards has been discussed for re-designing to make it easier for casual users. I hope that will extend to the information and buttons that live under the search bar but before the results as well.
In our catalog, customizations like the text strings and Vega guides have made it busier admittedly, but I would like the text sizes, button shapes, colours, and/or selectability indicators to be more consistent and arranged in a way that is more intuitive for navigation (easier said than done I know).
It is especially noticeable on smaller screens.…

Index volume record statements to be searchable
It has been requested to index volume record statements to be searchable as it was in Encore. We have local generic bibliographic records that to input alternate titles or other added entries in the bib record would not appropriate; however, if volume statements were searchable, patrons and library members alike could locate desired resources.

Select Order of Facets in Refine Panel Display
Allow Libraries to select the order that the facets display in the Refine panel of the search results. Ordering should be allowed at the Main and Site Levels. Main Vega Discover facet order should cascade to the sites unless overridden by a site level configuration.
Some facets are really important to searching and should be ranked higher. For us the format is the most important facet. That may not be true everywhere. Consortia are more concerned with collecection and location, so we need to have the ability to organice the facets as we could in Encore

Integrate The Palace Project into Vega
We recently joined The Palace Project and would love to have the items in those collections searchable and findable in our catalog in the same way that our Overdrive books are currently integrated, rolling up with other editions and requestable directly in the catalog. Ideally this would extend to LEAP as well so we could see the records alongside all the rest.
It's especially helpful for the more popular titles that the state library also has copies of or for niche titles only they have purchased. This would include both Palace Bookshelf items and Palace Marketplace items.

Shows 'Estimated Wait' for hold
Patrons have requested the ability to see an estimated wait time for their holds from their Holds Summary screen. Currently, they see where they are in line, but there is no indication as to the number of potential copies to fill the hold. If they are #5 in line, and there are 5 copies, this item will arrive soon, but if there is only 1 copy, it could be another couple of months before it arrives. For heavy library users, having a rough estimated date helps them decide what holds to freeze or unfreeze, and manage their holds better. This…

Add 'fully supported' collection site dropdown list option
We would like there to be a 'fully supported' option to add a collection site dropdown list, not simply documentation to do it ourselves with the caveat that Innovative can't be responsible for whether or not it works. I've included a screenshot that shows how it actually doesn't work well on mobile, and we aren't able to do much about that. However, if there were a fully supported dropdown option, I think it's safe to assume it would be optimized for mobile use as well. This is what we would want.
This is not 'already supported' as was stated in…
