Improvements to the patron account modal
Some patrons have difficulty understanding where to find their account details after logging in. For some, it is not intuitive to click on their names, or the numbers associated with the holds/checkouts/fines. Please add a few more prompts or cues to make it easier for patrons to access their accounts.

Have fields to hold translations for Showcase titles
We currently use English, Chinese, French, Polish and Spanish languages as options in our Vega Discover. While toggling between languages, I noticed that embedded showcase titles remain in English regardless of the language selected (I wasn't expecting it to translate).
Proposed idea: Could there be an option to enter additional languages for Showcase titles that can be pulled when the overall platform language is changed so that native Chinese speakers see the librarian-inputted Chinese Showcase Title instead of the English title? If no alternate language title was entered, it should default to the English language title.
Thanks for your consideration!

Prevent SHR information displaying under title
We need a way to prevent serial holding record information from displaying in the work card. SHR info is very useful when looking at an individual library's location drawer, but since it can differ from library to library in our consortium is often incorrect when displayed under the shared title. An example is Vogue magazine. Not all of our libraries limit circulation on the current issue, nor do they all keep two years of issues. But because the SHR for the library that is alphabetically first has those limitations in the shared public note and retention designation, it shows under…

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…

Support for multiple ADs for Vega User Management
Self-hosted Polaris Customers who have Vega Discover can allow a connection between their Polaris installation and Vega Discover for the purpose of using existing AD staff accounts for Vega user management. Currently, only one AD is supported. In consortia, there may be multiple ADs (e.g., in our environment, we have four).
We'd like there to be support for multiple ADs so consortia can benefit from the convenience of using AD credentials to access Vega Discover.

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…

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.

Change the website title of Passcode Reset webpage in Vega
To avoid potential patron confusion the ability to change the Vega website title from Welcome to Vega to something specific to your library when opening the Forgot My Passcode link would be helpful. For example, it might read "Library Name/Abbreviation Passcode Reset," which should eliminate any doubts about the nature of the webpage.

Make collection facet available for Sierra Customers
We were able to do this is Encore/WebPAC using scoping and the location codes. This is a critical feature that Vega is missing for Sierra customers, please bring this functionality back.

Change information icon
Our customers don't think the 'i' information icon is a clickable thing. They think it just looks like a static image and assume there's no further information.
We'd like to see the icon changed to something that looks more like a button or link.

Add the ability to mask one of the locations listed on patron account in Vega
When a patron is logged into Vega on their My Bookshelf profile, three options are displayed under location. We would like the ability to mask either Home Library or Registered Library Branch. Both options are usually the same for our patrons so we would like the ability to mask one of these options to avoid confusion. See the attached photo of the three current locations displayed when a patron is viewing their profiles in Vega.

Hold sorting
Create a sort by hold placement option. This would allow customers to view the list of holds based on their spot in the hold queue, which enable them to view titles are coming sooner and see what will likely come later.

Add publication place as a facet
So far, the only way we have of distinguishing materials in the catalog for our Chinese speakers that are written in Traditional Chinese vs. Simplified Chinese is by their place of publication. Titles published in mainland China (008 position 15-17 is "cc") are different from titles published in Taiwan (008 position 15-17 is "ch"). We would like to see place of publication added as a facet for this reason.

Improve Reading History Search
Improve the capabilities of the mini search feature that only looks at the patron's reading history. We've had patrons mention some minor odd things like being unable to find a work in their reading history when searching by the author's first name + last name (only last name + first name order works). Also, mixing keywords from the title and author fields or using keywords from the title out of sequence fail to return results.

My Bookshelf General Functionality
I still feel this is sort of a bug, but I'm going to try submitting an idea.
When logged in: You can click on any link in "My Bookshelf" to expand it, but you can only collapse it by clicking either the down arrow or the "My Bookshelf" tab. When on another tab such as "Bookmarks, Saved Searches, or Reading History", I feel that clicking on these tabs should also collapse the My Bookshelf back to the bottom.
When not logged in: Clicking any link in the "My Bookshelf" will expand it but clicking "My Bookshelf" no longer collapses it…

Adjustments to Library Info widget
Allow more than 10 "exceptions" to library hours. The 10-exception limit often does not allow for a full year's worth of closed dates to be listed, which makes it feel incomplete. The limit also means that admins will have to go back and make edits more frequently to both remove passed days and add the next exceptions, instead of adding all exceptions at the beginning of the year and simply removing passed holidays as they happen. (It would also be cool if the passed days could disappear automatically.)
I would also like "closed" to be the default type of exception…

Automate Placing Item-Level Holds on All Editions in Rollup Before the Request Fails
Vega currently blocks item-level requests where one location attached does not lend the items, even though other locations will. The items that do not ILL are causing Vega to fail the request. This forces the patron to click the request button for all the editions/locations in the rollup until they find a library that will ILL the item.
Eliminate that painful patron experience by having Vega do that work for them. This should be set at the Consortium level as it is not an issue in the Collection Sites.12 votes
