Searching by item barcode was available in our previous discovery layer and staff found it very beneficial.

Randomize Showcase Displays
Showcases can only be sorted chronologically by publication date or alphabetically by title. We'd like to have 'random' as an option, so that the showcase would be sorted randomly each time the page / showcase loads.

Clearer messaging when no email is present in the patron's account
A patron was trying to do a password reset, and we had to use the old PAC to realize that they had no email address in their account, since the messaging there clearly states the issue. Vega Discover just says the email 'failed to send'. Please update this messaging to more closely match the old PAC.

Add Fully Supported Redirect Between Site URL and Custom URL
Many Discover sites have two URLs:
- Site URL (sitename.region.iiivega.com)
- Custom URL
For example, ours are:
- berg.na4.iiivega.com
- search.bccls.org
We would like a true redirect to exist from iiivega.com to the custom one that is fully supported by Innovative and to have all activity such as login sessions persist, so there is a seamless transition.
While some libraries have customized this themselves to get it to work, we would like it to exist as an option in Vega Admin that is fully supported out of the box.

Support EAN/IAN-codes for cover images
As a library outside of USA and Canada we don´t get any cover images for Video games and DVDs in Vega.
The reason looks to be very simple. Vega has seemingly been coded to only look for the local North American UPC-code standard stored in MARC field i024 1_ $a.
Most of the rest of the world (we in Sweden included) use the EAN/IAN-code standard and those codes are stored in i024 3_ $a.So the data is stored right there in our records and Syndetics also has the EAN-codes in their database. But the connection is never made in…

Filter by Location Limits Updates the Roll-Up Results
When a patron applies a location filter to Discover search results, the edition and items are limited to the location(s) selected.
The roll-up tabs are updated to remove items and editions at other locations.
The filtering is passed to Vega Mobile so the filtering experience matches.

Childrens materials only display in topics for childrens titles
It would be helpful that when displaying topics that only childrens titles appeared on childrens materials. Here is an example of topics gone bad: https://wkkids-wauk.na5.iiivega.com/search/card?id=282fcc98-e8d7-528f-9ced-72bf0e756c6f&entityType=FormatGroup

Make New York Times best sellers available as a homepage showcase
Vega has a list of the current New York Times best sellers, which shows up on the detailed title page if you view that for one of the titles on the list (see attached screenshot). It would be great to be able to have this showcase on the library's homepage.

Add note when payment is made via Vega in Transaction Summary
Add a note in patron's transaction summary to indicate that a payment was made in Vega. For example, when a payment is made in the PAC a note is added to the patron's transaction summary indicating that the payment was made via PAC, as shown in the attached photo. Currently when a payment is made via Vega the note field is left blank not indicating how the payment was made. Ideally, the message should read "Payment made via Vega," but a note of some kind should be generated to indicate how a payment was made.

Adding a List View within the Bookmarks Tab
We recently received a request to add a list format option for the bookmarks tab. A patron stated that they wanted, "A list format option of looking at the titles with visible author, pub date, brief description as it was in the old catalog". This could be similar to our options when searching to switch from list to grid view.

Disable Vega Discover Cookie Prompt for Kiosk Sites
As of May 8th, 2024, Patrons at Vega Discover Kiosks which run in incognito mode are now presented with a greyed-out screen with a small white cookie banner at the bottom. For patron privacy, best practice for any Kiosk deployed in a public space calls for the erasure of all browser cache and cookies at the end of the kiosk session. For a walk-up session, there is no clear instruction as to what action needs to be taken to get to the full site, clicking a small "x" in the lower right corner is neither intuitive nor accessible. This prompt…

Showcase metadata and management
We have a number of different staff creating and updating Showcases across our system. Currently, it is getting difficult to manage this as staff are beginning to duplicate each other's work and it is difficult to know which showcases are current and which are scheduled or embedded somewhere. When adding Showcases to Vega Homepage, it is impossible to distinguish between two showcases with the same name since no details display other than the title in the home page editor.
Please consider adding some features to improve showcase maintenance and management:

Hero Carousels
For Hero Carousels, when you add a showcase there's no option to display the showcase title. Having just the image doesn't give context for patrons to know what that leads them to. We would like the option to include the showcase title with each picture.

Have Vega pull literary form from 655 fields or 6xx $v subfields, instead of 006/16.
This would provide for significantly more flexibility and allow for the use of more modern genre/form terms, such as 'graphic novels'.

Passcode Reset Clarification or Enhancement
There's no way to modify the text that appears on the Passcode Reset page for Vega Discover. We've seen some patrons trying to enter their barcode with spaces as it is formatted on their library card which doesn't work. At a minimum, it would be great to indicate on this page to enter "Barcode/Username (no spaces, please)", or even better to have the input field ignore spaces entered. Thanks for the consideration and reducing some of our front line staff headaches.

Add Availability Status to Showcase Items
Like many libraries, we have a Library of Things and many of the items can't be stored out on the shelves. This makes it difficult for patrons to browse our LoT collection when they visit the library. We're creating a system of cards, but that is fussy and requires regular inventory to make sure cards accurately reflect what is here.
I know we can make a carousel list of LoT items in Vega. What I would like is a carousel that indicates if items are available at a location or checked out.
In my imagination, we'd have a large TV…

Stop including subject headings from suppressed API-sourced econtent records
We came across situations where incomplete/unauthorized subject headings (see attached) from suppressed OverDrive API-sourced records are appearing as Topics in the record for the print version of the same title, even when it isn't rolling up with our ILS-sourced econtent record for the same title (see attached). We were told that even though we have our own ILS record for the title with those subject headings removed, and the API record that has those subject headings is suppressed, the content from that suppressed API record is still being passed through to Vega, and it is connected to the print record…

Showcase Display
We would like more automated showcase displays like the NYT Bestsellers. Since we are in Canada, we specifically would like to see the Globe & Mail Bestsellers as an option.

Allow SMS notification signup from Vega
Right now, Vega does not support signup for SMS notifications. We are having to link people out to the old Webpac signup screen. We would love to have SMS signup available in Vega. this is one of the biggest requests we get from our libraries.

Number of Arrived Holds
On the Holds tab, it lists how many holds you have, but not how many have arrived. This would allow patrons who have a lot of items on hold to know exactly how many to expect at pick up.
