Limit Collections in main site as well as collection sites
It would be great if there was a way to limit "Collections" on the main Discover search the same way you can limit on individual collection sites. In our particular use case, we have a single member library that has items in a collection that should only be visible on their collection site. Excluding that collection from all other collection sites is easy, but there isn't a way to do it on our main site. Thanks for your consideration!

Copy configuration to and from kiosks and collection sites
It would be very useful for consortia managers to be able to copy the homepage configuration, global header, and potentially other settings from the main site/parent domain to kiosks and collection sites or from any type of site to another. Or, similarly, to be able to simply duplicate a site and then edit it from there.
This would save a lot of time when trying to create multiple sites that are harmonious in appearance and experience but distinct in content.

Automatically re-execute search in Location Drawer
In the Location Drawer, there is a search box that offers the user a place to narrow the results based on call number, edition date, etc. When the user changes the location, the results update to the desired location and the search term(s) is retained in the search box, but the results don't reflect the inclusion of the search term. The user must click in the search box and manually re-execute the search. This is not intuitive at all. Retaining the search term while updating the results to a different chosen location implies that the results include the effect of…

I apologize for the erroneous update. The change we made in Nov/Dec of 2024 did not actually deliver the requested functionality in this idea request. Changing status back to Under Review.

Make adding to 2 showcases easier
Currently in Vega Discover, adding an item to multiple lists requires you to go to your first list of items, select the particular item in the list and then multi select the lists that you want the item to be added into. Can there be a new feature to add items to multiple lists within the search results screen for streamlining purposes?

Saved search link just saves filters, it should also save "locked" filters
A saved search link just remembers the filters, but not if any of said filters were locked or unlocked, the lock status should also be saved

Integrate Proquest databases into Vega Discover (Searchable)
Please enable ProQuest database customers to seamlessly search their databases within Vega Discover without the need for creating placeholder bib record redirect links. The ultimate objective is to allow patrons to conduct searches for items such as historical newspaper titles and receive relevant search results from our catalog, along with direct links to ProQuest Historical Newspapers databases associated with their search queries.
Third-party databases would also be fantastic but I'm sticking to Clarivate owned products for now.

Home Page: Showcase fixed sizing setting
Showcase cover art has the flexibility to expand and contract across various sizes, resulting in a challenging navigation experience when displaying these items. To enhance user experience, consider either enforcing a consistent display size for cover art or, at the very least, maintaining uniform sizes for all showcases. For a visual representation of the issue, please refer to the attached image.

Be able to see if there are holds on titles, we have checked out on My Bookshelf
A customer has provided feedback that by being able to see what checked out titles on their bookshelf had holds placed against them would help them prioritise their reading, e.g., if they knew a title was going to renew or not, or had holds on it, they would read that title first.

Export Bookmark Lists to Email
When trying to export a bookmarked list to your email, it doesn't actually export anything to your email. Instead, you're sent a link that just takes you back to your bookmark list in Vega.
It would be helpful to have Vega actually export a text-based list to your email. Example in the picture is of the email you receive with the link back to Vega.

Improve Bookmark List Building for Staff and Super Users
- When a title has already been bookmarked, if you click the bookmark icon the title is NOT automatically removed from a list. Instead you have the option of checking/unchecking boxes next to all lists on your account to add/remove it from lists.
- When bookmarking a title you are able to add it to multiple existing lists at once via checkboxes.
- All interaction menus for bookmarking that show all bookmark lists have checkboxes allowing user to add/remove a title from lists.

Ability to Freeze Overdrive Holds
Many of our patrons prefer to control their Overdrive/Libby account through the catalog. There is currently no freeze option for Overdrive holds within Vega Discover. Not sure if this is because we don't import the Overdrive records into our ILS (Sierra) or not.

Advanced Search - enable drop down filters for boolean operators at new search page default
An advanced search feature should make Boolean search options visible with drop-down menus to assist in constructing custom queries. The Boolean elements should be simply a series of drop-down search filters. Most advanced search engines use this functionality and, this is easy for a customer to use.

Due Date Display
It would be helpful to display due date(s) for item(s) in the location drawer. This would enable staff and patrons to see this info in one step when they select the item's location.

Map it feature or similar
We would like there to be a similar feature to map it that there is in the current PAC. This is NOT similar to Stack Map in that this would help users find nearby libraries/branches within the consortium that have items (that they could travel to) and Stack Map seems to show them where items are within the library (a map within the library).

Make customizing Showcases easier
Vega should have controls when generating showcase code that allows the librarian to change the look and feel of the showcase and have the generated code include these customizations.
This idea was born when our web team asked if it was possible to remove the author name from a Showcase when embedding it into our website. Other libraries might want to remove title and author and just show jacket covers. Any ability to customize the look of the Showcase that is embedded would be awesome.

(Vega Homepage) Allow Kids' View to show particular "Literary Form" if chosen
During our user testing, we received numerous inquiries from both children and parents, expressing a desire for the option to access both fiction and nonfiction content within the limited search view designed for kids. This feature may assist them in distinguishing whether the material is intended for leisure or educational purposes at a quick glance. This shouldn't be turned on by default but should be able to be toggled for libraries willing to make that change.
