Material obtained from digital source displaying incorrectly in account
When an item is checked out through a third-party digital resource, like Overdrive/Libby, that is not included in our catalog it displays strangely. The list of digital items that aren't included in our catalog is extensive and forever increasing. I've included a screenshot of how it is displayed in the account records on Vega.
It would be helpful if these items displayed in a way that was less confusing. Perhaps just simply calling it "Digital Item" would be fine.

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.

Ability to add description to Showcase
Our staff would like the ability to add a description to Showcases, in addition to the detail described in the Showcase title. I've attached an example from another discovery layer.

Customized Vega Help Section
I should preface this with the understanding that we can build our own help page and direct traffic there. However, the built-in Vega Help section contains fantastic material and is most likely updated with any new deployments of Vega Discovery. We'd love to have the ability to leverage those pieces while still maintaining our own branding, customized text, customized imagery, embedding Vega Guide, and adding alternative sources such as Niche Academy video tutorials.

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.

Ability to Exclude Location Results in a Vega Collection Site
Give a Library the ability to exclude locations by default in the search results. For example, a Library may be far enough away that materials from that location are essentially unavailable. If they could be excluded it would help with preventing patron confusion and frustration.

On order eContent
Currently, eBooks and eAudiobooks on order/not yet published from OverDrive do not show up as such in Vega. They show up as ‘checked out’, which is confusing for patrons, especially when these books are MONTHS from being released. Add additional eContent status to reflect titles that are coming soon.

Spacing shouldn't affect searching in Korean
In many cases, the character spacing we use when cataloging in Korean is not the same as the character spacing someone searching in Korean will use, even though the meaning is the same in these cases despite the differences in spacing. The spacing we use when cataloging is dictated by Library of Congress rules, however, a Korean speaker won't know those rules and will type the search in the way that makes sense to them.
For example, 한 권 (with a space) and 한권 (without a space) mean the same thing, and 외워 봤니 (with a space) and 외워봤니 (without…

Request Volume Button for Graphic Novels/Manga
The button to choose which graphic novel volume they would like is titled "Request Any Edition," and it seems like it might be more intuitive if the graphic novels said "Request Volume" on the first button, since almost (if not all) of the rollup records for any item say "Request Any Edition." For graphic novels, once you click "Request Any Edition" it has you choose your pickup location, and then it lets you choose the volume/issue.
Having a button that instead says "Request Volume" and have the option before the hold pickup location would be more intuitive for patrons requesting…

Display subfield c from 520 in summary
Currently, the summary from the 520 field is displaying on the full resource card and dynamically updating by format, which is great. However, the subfield c is hidden, so anytime there is a subfield c present, there are simply two dashes at the end of the summary, suggesting that there might be something missing or cut off (which there is, in fact). Can the subfield c please be displayed along with the summary?

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?

Changes to Vega Passthrough Search
In Vega Discover, when executing a passthrough search, the external link icon is used as a button. This UI is confusing to patrons, who are expecting the catalog name to be the link or looking for a button that looks more like the other buttons on the page.
When the passthrough search only has one option, the option is a link, and that behavior is preferred. On the resource page, when there are more than one option, the external link icon appears, and the behavior is different. Our collection sites have more than one option, while the full collection Vega…13 votes -
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.

Showcases updating
When updating showcases, you shouldn't need to update the kiosk site separately from the regular site, it should automatically happen.

Add 'fully supported' collection site dropdown list option
We would like there to be a 'fully supported' option to add a collection site dropdown list, not simply documentation to do it ourselves with the caveat that Innovative can't be responsible for whether or not it works. I've included a screenshot that shows how it actually doesn't work well on mobile, and we aren't able to do much about that. However, if there were a fully supported dropdown option, I think it's safe to assume it would be optimized for mobile use as well. This is what we would want.
This is not 'already supported' as was stated in…

Could we please get a "Remember Me" option for the account login page? Our patrons would like their devices to autofill in their library card numbers.

List all movies included in volumes and mega sets of DVD
List all the movies/shows included on each disc in the set, so if a set doesn't have what a patron is looking for, we don't order it uselessly. Some items appear when you search for a specific title that is included, and some don't. Sometimes you can find the title in Sierra and sometimes you can't. Staff claim in Encore they were always able to see what which were included in these volumes/mega sets and they found it useful.

Port the Polaris Vega login page over to Sierra
Sierra libraries that are currently using the cumbersome ipsso integrated login page have to keep using that page if they move to Vega. Polaris libraries can use a unique to Vega login page/widget that needs little to no configuration. (Correct me if I'm wrong about that.) We would have loved to ditch our crusty old ipsso page and not have to worry about it anymore when we bring Vega online but as a Sierra library we don't have that option.
