Add Help Text for Nickname
Add Help Text for the Nickname Field to explain what it does to a patron's profile display.
Hi,
We have a report of a patron assuming editing the nickname in the profile would edit the username. It doesn't and it is confusing to have it there without knowing what it is supposed to do. We did find that it is useful for identifying the owner of a showcase and of course changing the logged in name; however, non of this is really clear. We think it would make the profile settings more understandable to have a ? icon with a…

Display ALL series
Vega only displays the first series tag (490, 800|t, 830) in a bibliographic record. There are many scenarios where a title may have multiple series tags for good reason. ALL series tags should display. A work may be titled the Boxcar children collection 3 and contain various volumes of the Boxcar children series, each tagged individually. To only display the first series tag (vol. 89) is misleading. There are also many instances of a popular numbered series also being part a publisher genre series (example for Iced by Felix Francis: Francis novels ; bk. 10 and Thorndike Press large print…

Don't display series info for things that aren't true series
Right now, when you search something like Jane Eyre (see screenshot), which has multiple editions, some of which are part of a "series", Vega Discover arbitrarily displays one of those series statements in the roll-up. We would like it to NOT display the series info when it doesn't apply to all editions of a work, since the roll-up is supposed to reflect what all the editions have in common, not just one particular edition's series info. It could likely make the user think, incorrectly, that if they place a hold, they will get that edition in that series, when in…

Facet Navigation and Display Improvements
For Limited Value facets such has: format, location, collection, age group, language, donor; allow the full facet content to display in the refine panel when expanded and in all facet view by adding scroll.
For larger value facets such as concepts, persons, publishers; enable a Load XX more <facet> button in the All Facet View to allow users to view more information without searching.
In All Facet View, upon open, display Search <facet> help text as well as place cursor in search box.
In the Mobile responsive views that collapse the refinement panel by default, when in Advanced Search Mode,…

Editable verbiage on "forgot your password" reset page
Currently, patrons can click 'I forgot my passcode' on the Vega login menu, but the following page references an 'email address' as the required information to reset their PIN, while it actually requires a barcode. Please provide libraries with the option to edit this language to accurately reflect the PIN reset process or allow this page to redirect to a library-hosted webpage for further instructions.

Add "Select All", "Add to List" and "Place Holds" buttons to the bottom of the search results.
The bulk holds and bulk bookmarking features are very helpful. This would be more user-friendly if the "Select All", "Add to List" and "Place Holds" buttons were repeated at the bottom of the page. This would allow the user to scroll down through the list and make selections and then act upon those selections when they reach the bottom of the page, before clicking on to the next page.
Currently, a user has to scroll down to make selections, then scroll all the way back to the top of the page to add selections to a list or place holds,…

Add "Remove Bookmark(s)" button to My Bookshelf Availability
When looking at All Available in the new bookshelf feature, the only option for selected items is to Place Holds.
But when you are within a list, you can select items and also Add to Lists or Remove from List. People are used to those options, and it would be especially useful to have a Remove Bookmark(s) button to quickly un-bookmark titles while looking at the All Available view.
For people who don’t create multiple lists, and just use For Later, it's unintuitive to exit out of All Available and scroll down to the list in order to remove bookmarks.…

Have the pickup area visible for patron holds. Glad patrons can now choose the pickup area in Vega but it should display for them in their holds placed.

Allow custom DNS sites to use /staff for access
We leverage discover.rhpl.org for our Vega Discover Premium catalog access but to access our staff portal we have to remember to use https://rhpl.na3.iiivega.com/staff/
Please allow premium users leveraging custom DNS to use their custom domain for /staff access as well.

Stop having the customer profile screen display as soon as the customer signs into their account.
When a customer logs into their account in Vega, their profile screen displays automatically. This screen should be visible only when selected by the customer. This is especially problematic when a customer is logging into their account in a public area. It is a privacy issue.

Support custom Header and Footer code on the 404 (page not found page)
We would like any custom header and footer code to be active/enabled on the 404 page. This would add a seamless user experience no matter where the patron ends up on the website.

Update the Current Vega On Order Logic to include Suppressed Status Items
The current Vega On Order logic allows the library to select Material Types that will show a status of On Order when there are no items attached. The problem is that for older titles sometimes all the attached items have a status that we suppress from display because it's not useful to the patrons such as: Missing, Withdrawn, Damaged, Lost, etc. These items, because they are suppressed from display will cause this title to show up as ON ORDER when it's actually not and may be weeded from the collection soon. If the logic could be updated to include suppressed…

Message about duplicate hold
When patrons try to place a hold on something they already have placed a hold on, instead of getting a message that they already have a hold, they receive the message,
"Your request for this material was unsuccessful
Couldn't find suitable edition for the request"We would like to be able to edit this message to let them know they already have a hold and cannot place a second hold on the same record.

Add Shelf Location to Find a Copy All Location View
We received an idea to possibly redesign the "Find a Copy" menu so that viewing shelf locations would no longer need the user to click the library that they are searching for resulting in two clicks to see that information.
"You have to click on the library name itself in order to get a full picture of where an item is. It's an extra unnecessary step"

Don't use Serials Holdings Records (SHRs) as an indication of of availability
Items that have zero item records but have Polaris SHRs on "Not currently Received " status show that they are "on shelf" at the branches with the SHRs even though there are no items at any of the branches. This had lead to patrons coming in looking for standing orders/ serial titles etc. that are not there.
