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.

Placing a hold reflects holdability settings on item record
We would like Vega Discover to take into account the holdability of an item when placing a hold based on the settings that are applied on the item records (we use Polaris). This would include the various options in the "hold limited to" section that can be configured at the bottom of an item record in Leap (see picture for more information).
If this is done, the holds logic would skip an edition if all its copies were not holdable for the patron, even if they were available, and would not return the error it is resulting in now. It…

Account Portal - Address edit text entry
The update to the account portal for City/State/Postalcode being text entry allows patrons to make these entries anything. These create new entries in the the Postalcode table, making it very messy (Made up cities/states/postcodes or incorrectly spelt, ect). These new entries then show from the drop down when patrons join online compounding the issue if new patrons choose the incorrect one. Example from our system using the State: NSW not the full text state New South Wales. Someone has created a New South Wales entry and other patrons have joined selecting it.

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

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…

Allow Partial Payments of Fines
Vega Discover allows patrons to choose individual fines they would like to pay but doesn't allow a patron to pay simply a set amount of their fines. Patrons would sometimes like to just pay a portion of their fines that will allow them to continue using the library. Add a feature that lets the patron enter the fine amount they want to pay of their total and have that portion deducted from their total fines.

Staff User Accounts
We are finding the creation of staff user accounts a bit clunky. Having only 12 hours to accept the link is too short of a time frame when someone from another location is creating the user account but unaware of when the staff member is working or will see the email. If the window is missed, there's no way for them to request a new link, and the account has to be deleted and recreated. There also needs to be a Forgot Password option for staff users.

Grid view for showcase content
Patrons have noted that when showcases feature a large number of items, they find it frustrating to navigate the full showcase Library List display. Several have asked about whether an option to switch to a grid view can be added, similar to the option that is available to them in the search results.
Example: Showcases generated from ILS lists (e.g. Create Lists in Sierra) often contain a large number of items. When a user clicks View All on a showcase carousel, or clicks on a showcase collage, the amount of scrolling to peruse the Library List of items becomes a…

one click hold
Would like to see the ability to place a one click hold like you can currently do the Polaris power pac. If you've chosen a preferred pickup location I don't see the necessity of having that 2nd window pop up that makes you confirm that.

Sort volumes by number, not by digit
When placing a hold on a title with multiple volumes, a screen pops up asking "Which Volume/Issue Would You Like To Request?". The volumes are then sorted by digit rather than numerically. So, for example, Vega Discover sorts as follows:
12
11
109
108
107
106
105
104
103
102
101
100
10
1(see attached screenshot for example)
This makes it more difficult for the patron to go right to the volume they would like to request.
It would be better to sort numerically:
103
102
101
100
99
98
97
96

Change Position of Passthrough Source Links in Search Results
Change the position of passthrough source links to a row below "## results found for {keyword}".
The current position of the findFrom text and passthrough source links does not leave much space for more than a few words. The responsive behavior of the findFrom text is to disappear on small screens. This makes it difficult to convey the purpose of the passthrough source link. If the link has an entire row there will be adequate space for descriptive text on all devices.
The screenshot shows the desired position.

Add Polaris's "Street 2" field to address display in Account Portal
The current "address" information in the Account Portal consists of the Street 1 field from Polaris on the top line and the City, State, and ZIP fields grouped on the second line. Our library uses Street 2 for apartment numbers and would like the option to display Street 2 in account portal so that patrons don't think part of their address is missing from our records.

Vega Admin setting to restrict patron code access to third-party content
Offer a setting in Vega Admin to restrict access to third-party content (e.g., CloudLibrary) by patron code, such as controlling visibility and/or buttons to place holds and checkout.
Problem
The vendor records are ingested into Vega, but access restrictions enforced in the vendor’s app and website are not applied in Vega. As a result, certain patron codes can still place holds and check out digital items. When they visit the vendor's app/website, they are not granted access to the item.These patron codes:
Are not permitted to access our digital library (e.g., CloudLibrary).

Search name of showcase
Ability to search the name of a showcase. (This is similar to a feature BiblioCore has where patrons can type "new dvds" and retrieve a pre-limited search results). So, this would enable libraries to create a showcase called New DVDs, and patrons would be able to easily find those materials.

Location info/filtering in account portal?
A patron was interested in being able to filter their bookmarked items by location in addition to Availability, i.e. to see at what location(s) the bookmarked items are available.

Sort Serial Holdings With Latest Issue at Top
We'd like Vega to sort the volumes in a serial holdings display with the latest issues at the top for easy patron access.
For example, we have People magazine, with hundreds of items in our holdings. With the PAC display, the lastest issues are listed at the top, descending from there by date, so patrons can easily see what the latest issue is that we have and can quickly place a hold (see attached file "pac-request-list" screenshot). Vega seems to sort oldest-to-newest, so the user will have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list to find…

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'.

Include scannable barcode with Patron Profile information
With support ending for the MyLibrary! App, we will be encouraging patrons to use our mobile-friendly Vega Discover Catalogue in a web browser on their device. One thing that will be missed is the ability to click "Show Card" to display a scannable barcode for checking out with staff or at a Self Checkout station. Currently, the barcode number is included in the patron profile but it would be great to add a scannable barcode image there as well.

E-resources: Remove "Note" if more than one link
We're very happy to see the full text being displayed for multiple links when clicking "Access Online" - however we would also like to see in cases where there are multiple links for the "Note" field to be removed. It currently only displays the label for the first link, obfuscating our other sources.

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:
