Custom domain forwarding shown on Vega Discover sites configuration page
We would like the ability to see our custom domain links directly on the Vega Sites configuration page. While we understand that adding new custom domain links may not be within our control, it would be extremely helpful to have the existing reference links displayed on this page. Currently, we rely on memory and archived emails between support staff to track these links, but having them visible within the configuration page would provide a more streamlined and efficient experience. Attached is a visual reference.

Option to exclude frozen holds from total holds queue in catalogue
Libraries should have the option to exclude frozen holds from the total holds queue that appears in any catalogue.
Benefits:
1) Customers will have a better idea of where they are in the hold queue.
We encourage customer-driven hold management, and customers have told us that they want an estimate of when their holds will be filled.
This is especially true when customers place multiple hold on titles within a series.2) Customers will not see inflated hold queues and provide feedback to the Library that they should purchase more copies.
3) Customers could make an education decision on whether…

Display 856 links in search results view when focused on the applicable format tab
When 856 links exist, display them when the appropriate tab is selected in the roll-up within search results. Currently, the links only display on the format tab after you open the title resource page.

Customization of "Duration of temporary status (hours)" per branch
In the current configuration, libraries can only apply the “Duration of temporary status (hours)” setting as a global value across all items. We would like to request the ability to configure this setting at the branch level.
Circulation varies significantly across our branches. Some experience high turnover while others have low activity. As a result, the time required for staff to reshelve materials differs from branch to branch. Allowing this setting to be adjusted individually for each location would provide patrons more accuracy of where they can find items in the branch.8 votes -
Geolocation authentication for Vega's patron registration
We would like to see Vega's patron registration to include geolocation authentication so we can limit patron registration to only those residing in NYS, and potentially just our service area.

Patron registration for Sierra libraries: option to include additional fields to registration process
In a recent demo (July 2026) we saw that Polaris libraries can configure additional patron variable/fixed fields to display OR hide in the registration process. This would benefit Sierra libraries as well.
We are used to adding online registrations with a template of various fields that are not included in the current registration.

User Management page within Vega Discover admin and LX Starter admin should offer the same functionality
iii Support referred me to the User Management page within LX Starter module settings in order to access the "Send Password Reset" link functionality for a staff user. This same functionality (Actions > Send Password Reset) should be available within the Vega Discover settings / User Management page, rather than having to switch modules to accomplish this.

Allow Collection Site Admins to Give Their Staff Patron Assist Permissions from User Roles
Site Admins at the collection site level should be allowed to grant/edit/remove Patron Assist permissions to their staff instead of at the Main Site Admin level.
Within a large consortium it could take hours to grant the Patron Assist permissions to all accounts. Plus, Collection Site Admins should have the ability to customize their staff as needed without consortia oversight.

Add filter for circulating items
Our customers are repeatedly asking to be able to have a filter for including only circulating items (excluding reference materials). This is particularly useful for materials that are heavily collected in our Research Center and Resource Centers. If customers could limit to circulating, they could more easily find items they can check out, and we have received multiple requests for this feature.

Better Error Message for Users Trying to Return OverDrive Kindle Titles
I'm not sure if it's possible, but it would be really helpful for users who try to check in an OverDrive title they have on Kindle to get an error message other than the general one that says to try again later. Titles that have been sent to Kindle need to be checked in through Amazon. Most of our patrons go through the Libby app, which gives them return instructions there, but we've had a few try to return these titles from their Vega account portal and are confused when they get an error.

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.
We propose…

Consider $c field when matching visual media for roll-up
Vega BibFrame should consider the 260$c field when matching for roll-up in visual media as often it's the determining indicator between two different versions of film. For example, see "The Italian Job" ... both are Hollywood, CA, Paramount pictures but in different years (1969 and 2003) but because the matchin doesn't consider the $c field, they roll up with each other even though they're very different films.

Possibility to turn of ratings
We as a Swedish library have opted out of the "review" option in the Syndetics Unbound integration, as we feel the English reviews do not provide much value to our patrons. It is however not possible to remove the ratings when hovering over a title.
This is annoying as the a short blob of text (in English) appears with the rating, and it isn´t even possible to see the whole text (see attached image).
We feel it should be possible to turn this off.

Grid view for showcase content
Patrons have noted that when showcases feature a large number of items, they find it frustrating to navigate the full showcase Library List display. Several have asked about whether an option to switch to a grid view can be added, similar to the option that is available to them in the search results.
Example: Showcases generated from ILS lists (e.g. Create Lists in Sierra) often contain a large number of items. When a user clicks View All on a showcase carousel, or clicks on a showcase collage, the amount of scrolling to peruse the Library List of items becomes a…

Vega Admin - Allow systemwide closure date with adjustments
When setting up closure dates, it would be helpful to offer an option to setup a systemwide closure date (may be adjusted for each location).
As a single library system, we only occasionally close an individual location; most closures would apply to all locations.
Some closures may be need to be adjusted, such as a systemwide closure for a hurricane and turn off each location's closure as we reopen the buildings.

Ability to sort related resources
Can we add a sort option to the related resources?
Ideally after selected "related resources" we would like to see the facets - but if there are no facets, can we add the same sort drop down options to this section that we see after we perform a basic search?
Discovery is a good thing - but seeing thousands of titles with no way to discover those titles is frustrating for everyone.

Reoccurring Events in Homepage Builder
Many libraries host weekly or monthly events, it would be helpful to have a reoccurring event block option in the Homepage Builder instead of having to input a date/time for each individual event.
