back button on resource page
Please enlarge the back button on the resource page. We have several reports from customers that they just don't know what to do when they land on the resource page. There are other ideas to add breadcrumbs on this page or add facets, but can at least the "back" button be more prominent?

order the contents of facets by # of hits or alphabetically
With Encore we could select how our branches (collections) sorted. With 39 locations this is important to us. Ideally there would be a synch between the patrons "home library" and the top branch, but for now, we would appreciate the ability to sort locations alphabetically. Seeing a differently ordered list after each search reduces usability.

Sort by call number
Staff use the catalog to pull materials for displays and storytimes, and sorting by author or title doesn't do them any good when looking in Non-Fiction, or when looking across multiple collections. For example, if they were looking for display items for Dragons they are going to be possibly in a few different Dewey numbers as well as in all the subsets of fiction, so running a search and being able to sort by call number would help them find the items as efficiently as possible.

Add "Remove From Lists" option under the All Available Bookmarks window in the My Bookshelf bar.
Currently, the only way to remove an item from a list is by clicking into the list itself and selecting the materials. Since the All Available Bookmarks feature is the first in the Bookmarks tab, it makes sense that there would also be an option to remove materials there.

Sort admins
We are a special case, with more than 2000 admins. When we need to manage them in Vega staff > Settings > User management we would like to have some kind of sorting by name, or a search box which makes us easier to retrieve the person we are looking for. It would save us a lot of time.

When entering blank query in Vega discover through the passthru search window add a splat (*) to the search
currently if the query is blank, the search will go through, but the pagination is broken, adding a splat (*) would solve this issue

Can we add the ability to filter a search by what is actually borrow-able for the user.
It would be great to have a way to filter a search by what is actually borrow-able for the user. For instance, I was looking into a request from one of our libraries about placing a hold on a radon testing kit and after bopping around for a few minutes I realized there doesn't seem to be a way to filter a search by what is actually borrow-able for the user, which makes for a frustrating user experience.

When searching with a limiter to a single location using facets, that location should display in the rollup's "On shelf at" text line
Attached is a screenshot of the a search result for the work "found dogs." Our library has three branches: South, Valley Ranch, and West. South's copy is checked out, and Valley and West's copies are on the shelves. The patron has used the location facet to limit to the WEST branch.
You'll notice that because South's copy is checked out, the branches are listed as:
+Valley Ranch|+West|xSouth--South is placed at the end even though it's first alphanetically.However, the line of text that displays above this is "On shelf at Valley Ranch" because Valley Ranch precedes West alphabetically.

Sorting for ILS List Showcases
Thrilled to be able to create showcases in Vega Discover using ILS lists!
The lists seem to automatically sort to newest title first. We'd like to be able to maintain the sort order from the record set or have sort options once added as a showcase.

Allow Scheduled Showcases to be Added to Vega Homepage Before Publish Date
When scheduling Vega homepage content for awareness months it would be convenient to be able to add scheduled, but as-yet-unpublished, showcases to a scheduled block.

Show all editions automatically when a volume field is present in the item record
When there is a volume field in the item record, show all editions automatically, so that patrons can easily view all options without taking additional steps.
Right now, when patrons first view the Vega record, they must click "Find a Specific Edition," and then the down arrow, in order to see all editions held in the collection.

Display copies in Available statuses first in location drawer
When multiple copies of an item are assigned to the same library branch, the location drawer appears to list them in order of item record ID within the same location (this is also the case in our classic Polaris PAC, not sure how it is in Sierra). We have had feedback from front-line staff that they would like to see copies in Available status listed first, with copies in other statuses listed below. This reasoning makes a lot of sense to me. If a patron is opening the location drawer, it's because they want to know where the item is…

Add Delete Button Under Item Image in Saved Lists
Patrons are finding it less intutive to delete items from their saved lists with the "Remove from List" link almost hidden in the very top right corner of the screen.
Each item in a saved list has a box around the image, the share button and select button are there. We also think the delete button, perhaps as garbage can icon, should be there as well.
(The "Remove From List" button can still be in the top right, if multiple items are selected, but for one-off deletions it should be easier and more clear how to do it).
I'll attach…

kids catalog book cover display
The kids homepage carousels force our covers into stretched and awkward sizes (see image). The adult page seems to (1) show the covers larger (2) has less space between titles and (3) adjust to their cover dimensions. The kids looks so jankity.

Use first name first or nickname for patron account portal
In the account portal, use the initial of the account's first name instead of last name and show the name in the format "First Last"--except when there is a nickname, in which case use the nickname. The circled letters seem designed to differentiate between linked accounts, so I can foresee families in which everyone is labelled with the same letter and you can mostly only see the last name.
(This would only apply when there are multiple accounts. I agree with this idea when there are no linked accounts: https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951766-vega-discover/suggestions/50968153-suppress-the-patron-name-when-account-linking-is-n)
Also, use the first name, or nickname if there…

Promote Relevance Button
In Encore there was a button for staff to manually promote the relevance of certain titles to appear at the top of search results. We'd like to see something similar implemented in Vega to ensure titles that we expect patrons to want to see first are listed first. Example below, of Ulysses by James Joyce being fourth in the results for a basic search of "ulysses"

disable renew button
In the patron record checkouts it would be useful if the renew button would disappear completely if the item out has existing holds on it (like it does in the powerpac now). Why give the illusion you can renew something to then just be denied?

import saved searches from PowerPAC as well as saved lists
During implementation, saved searches should be imported as well as saved lists when a library requests it. We recently went through Vega implementation and patrons are very disappointed that their saved searches aren't in the Account Portal. While they can recreate the searches, this discourages Vega adoption by a large number of our patrons. They would rather say within the PowerPAC and continue running their searches there.

offer hyperlink to eResource site
We have had feedback from customers and staff that they would like the option to pass through to the eResource vendor from the resource record (via the 856). There is a "details" > "Note (electronic)" field that could be hyperlink.
Right now many libraries have their 856 $z or $y in the Note (Hyperlink) field that says something like "Click here..." or "Click link" - but this field is not hyperlinked.

Increase length of title and author in Showcases
The amount of characters for the title and author names is limited (exact number seems to vary) and they are therefore not being completely displayed in Showcases. Can this be increased so in more cases the full title and name is displayed?
