Use Request Groups for choosing editions to fulfill work level holds.
Currently if a copy isn't available at the pickup location of any edition in a multi-edition rollup in Vega Discover, the holds logic dictates that it will look next for any edition with a copy available at the patron's home library, then for the edition with the most available copies, then if no copies are available, for the edition with the best holds:copies ratio.
The libraries with branches in our consortium would like the holds logic to look at availability of editions at their BRANCHES next if the pickup library has branches but doesn't own any editions themself. Also, they…

Separate the Edition specific and non-specific Place Hold button editing in the translation file
Currently, in the translation file there's one spot to edit ALL Place hold buttons. This prevents us from, say, editing the button that applied to ALL editions to say perhaps "Place hold on any edition" and, perhaps, editing the edition specific button to say "Place hold on this edition". We would like these separated out for editing.

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…

Custom Default Zoom Level on Vega Discover Page Load
By default Vega Discover loads zoomed in at 100% which cuts off a lot of useful information for the patron. The first record listed cuts off requiring scrolling and all the "Refine Results" don't show requiring scrolling. Vega requires an excessive amount of scrolling to see basic results. Zooming out to 90% rectifies this issue. I would like the option in admin settings to customize the default zoom level 70-100%. This will enhance the usability of Vega Discover and allow patrons the ability to see more vega options by default.

Show original check out date on My Account, not just renewal date.
Currently, when you renew an item, your checked out date updates to the date you renewed. Patrons have asked that it show the original check out date. So an item checked out originally in November and renewed in December would show the new due date, renewals remaining, and the original due date (not the date item was renewed). I suppose it could show renewal date, so long as original checkout date was available to see somewhere on the account (patron view).

Translation of "This hold can not be frozen"
This message appears when trying to freeze a reserved material that is in transit or has already arrived at the reservation shelf. Our Vega is in Swedish so we wish that this message can translate to Swedish and other languages.

Social Sharing of Lists
This is a combination of 2 ideas: Patrons would like to share lists they've created, and some patrons like to "Follow" others. We could create a new world of library "influencers" such as what is on social media, by having "Library Influencers" - those with over x number of followers. Patrons could select who they want to follow, and lists could be shared over social platforms.

Mobile Phone Number Should Map to the 'p' Field Instead of the 'o' Field
While testing out editing patron information in Vega, we ran across an issue. The mobile phone number field in the patron record edit maps to the 'o' field which we use in Sierra as a parent name field. It would make more sense to map to 'p' (telephone2) for us.
Current Workflow
- The patron logs into Vega Discover.
- From their profile, they edit their information to add/edit a Mobile phone number.
- That phone number is mapping to Sierra's 'o' field

(Vega Homepage) Show material availability on Items within Kids'/Themed grid view (Kiosk)
We have the ability to see item availability within grid view on the regular Vega Discover site, but will not see that on the grid view within the customized Kids'/Themed (Kiosk) page. Please incorporate this for ease of visability within Kids'/Themed homepages. I've attached two screenshots showing the green/red boxes on a regular Vega Discover grid view versus the Kids'/Themed view.

Export Bookmark Lists to Email
When trying to export a bookmarked list to your email, it doesn't actually export anything to your email. Instead, you're sent a link that just takes you back to your bookmark list in Vega.
It would be helpful to have Vega actually export a text-based list to your email. Example in the picture is of the email you receive with the link back to Vega.

Default to displaying list content by newest first
When a patron goes into a list of bookmarks, the default sort order is oldest first. I would prefer it if the resources I just added appear at the top of the list without having to scroll or re-sort.

Show library logo in mobile view
The library logo appears when on a library's collection site on a desktop computer, but on the phone it disappears. It would be nice if the logo could still display on mobile view.

"Place hold" button recognize Item Record "Limited to pickup at" (Polaris)
Work flow example: Vega sees the Bib Record is display in PAC (checked). Item Records associated to the Bib Record are all "Limited to pickup at..." (checked) the Place Hold dialog box shown on Vega should only reflect those values.

OverDrive Authentication via SIP
Currently, you can only authenticate a patron by Patron ID or Barcode . Sometimes the libraries in the consortia don't tell us their barcode prefixes have changed and patrons were being blocked for no reason. So we are utilizing the SIP connection with OverDrive and Kanopy to block against patron type in Polaris, no longer utilizing the barcode prefixes so patrons have easier access. Now that fix might not work in Vega to authenticate OverDrive because we don't use the barcode.

Add the option to suppress formats from appearing in the list
We would like to be able to suppress certain formats from appearing in the format list so it isn't so cluttered for patrons. We are aware that would eliminate certain results, but we would prefer it to appear cleaner rather than with so many options that patrons might not even understand.

Econtent in Kiosk mode
Currently, we are able to see a few of our e-items when searching in Kiosk mode. I would suggest full e-materials (Hoopla, Libby, etc) integration in Kiosk mode. If that is not possible, is there a way to exclude all e-items in Kiosk mode as we don't want our patrons to think that the e-items showing up are the only e-items we have?

Put icon on the corner of book images so we can save for later to our bookmarks easily
Could you please make it so we can create a view later list, just by adding an icon to the corner of the book image. This would be easier than having to click on the book to view it and then find the request or save button.
