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…

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…

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.

Number of Arrived Holds
On the Holds tab, it lists how many holds you have, but not how many have arrived. This would allow patrons who have a lot of items on hold to know exactly how many to expect at pick up.

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…

Add default collapsed view or "don't show this again" option for featured available titles display in My Bookshelf
The planned/upcoming feature (as of January 2025) to add the ability to filter My Bookshelf lists by item availability is a nice addition. However, in looking at the preview, staff have expressed concerns that some patrons may find the carousel display of featured available titles too much, as a common theme we hear in feedback about the My Bookshelf feature in general is that there is too much scrolling and clicking involved to navigate it. The planned feature includes an option to collapse the view, which is nice, but allowing patrons an option to either set the default view to…

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 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.

Integrate with IMMS for hold shelf information
When using the hold shelf functions of IMMS (Intelligent material Management System), customers are unable to see in Vega which hold shelf their items are ready to pickup on.
Workarounds are required by staff to fill this gap, and customers are encouraged to use other applications which does show this information.
It would be great to have the hold shelf placement details displayed in Vega, for items ready for pickup.

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 -

Add Lazy Loading or a Load More button to Grid View for mobile devices.
Improve Vega's page loading performance on devices and allow patrons to view the complete results lists easily by removing the page links and adding Lazy Loading or Load More option. Patrons' current web experience is a continuous scroll with content loading. This enhancement maintains that experience.

Improved User Access Management
As a System Administrator managing over 100 Collection Sites, identifying which assets a user has access to requires manually checking every single site. This is prohibitively time-consuming and leads to errors when editing, auditing, or deleting user accounts and Collection Sites. A Centralized User Access Management feature would help audit and efficiently manage user permissions across all Vega Discover assets. Ideally, the feature should allow staff to:
1. Select a User
2. View a comprehensive list of all associated Collection Sites, Kiosks, and Showcases the user has access to.
3. Manage those access points centrally (e.g., bulk removal of access)…11 votes
