Group hold
Group different editions together in order so once a format/edition satisfies the hold, the other holds will
automatically be cancelled. This can be useful for a user who doesn't care about the format and just wants any edition of the resource whenever it is available9 votes -
Additional options for different types of library hours
We have several libraries that have different summer hours than their regular hours throughout the year and some that have different hours for a specific section of their library like a children's room, for example. It would be great to have the ability to distinguish between these when posting hours, and not just to have one set of hours that can be posted for a library.

Add Option to Exclude eContent from MARC Extraction
We currently have Overdrive content as records in our catalog and thus the API integration to Overdrive is not being used for the records. We'd like to continue to have those records in our catalog so staff and patrons can search in other places (Leap, PowerPAC, Innovative Mobile App etc) but be able to exclude them from Vega extraction so the API can be used instead.

Show Sierra patron messages in Vega
We would like the Sierra pop-up messages to show in the patron account in Vega. We use these messages to communicate with customers. As much of our services are now self-service, we need a way to communicate with them as they don't come to the desk.

Auto-populate Patron Email in Share/Email Modal
Currently, when a patron is logged into Vega Discover and uses the Share/Email function, the email field remains blank. While some mobile browsers offer "autofill" suggestions, web browser users must manually enter their email address for every individual item they wish to share.
We suggest that the "Email" field in the Vega Discover Share modal automatically populate with the authenticated user's email address from their account record. To ensure flexibility, this should be an optional account-level setting. While auto-fill is ideal for patrons, staff often use the Share/Email tool to send resources to patrons. An optional setting ensures that staff…

Ability to hide fields on account page
We need the ability to hide certain fields in the account portal that we don't have. For instance, we only want one phone number in the account, but we cannot get rid of the second field for phone numbers even though we don't allow updating those fields. Also, since the address is not mapping correctly in our displayed address fields, we would like to hide this so customers are not confused.

Available toggle in Showcases
We would love to have the ability to only show items that are available to check out in our showcases. This way, we could create long lists of items that don't remain static in their appearance, but instead show patrons different items based on what they could take home today. Seeing only the same 6 items on the front page every day gets old fast.

Add More Options for "Results Per Page"
Some patrons have reported they would like more options for the "results per page" when searching -- specifically, an option for 100. The PAC gave options up to 100, but Vega Discover only gives options up to 40 per page.

Ability to edit collection and kiosk site names
Sometimes the site name given to a collection or kiosk at creation ends up not being useful or accurate later on.
Before the patron portal, only staff could see these names so the problem was limited, but now that patrons can choose a default collection, the unchangeable site names are exposed.
Issues that would be fixed by this: typos in site names, test sites turned into real sites, collections and kiosks with the same name making user management confusing.
Deleting and re-creating is not easy because the sites may already be configured with staff permissions, homepages, settings, etc. that would…

back button on resource page
Please enlarge the back button on the resource page. We have several reports from customers that they just don't know what to do when they land on the resource page. There are other ideas to add breadcrumbs on this page or add facets, but can at least the "back" button be more prominent?

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.

Enable Syndetics tags in Vega
The tags are available in Encore and is a much used resource.

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.

Vega Admin setting to restrict patron code access to third-party content
Offer a setting in Vega Admin to restrict access to third-party content (e.g., CloudLibrary) by patron code, such as controlling visibility and/or buttons to place holds and checkout.
Problem
The vendor records are ingested into Vega, but access restrictions enforced in the vendor’s app and website are not applied in Vega. As a result, certain patron codes can still place holds and check out digital items. When they visit the vendor's app/website, they are not granted access to the item.These patron codes:
Are not permitted to access our digital library (e.g., CloudLibrary).
Are permitted to use the catalog and…8 votes -
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.

Add Vietnamese to the list of customizable languages
Vietnamese would be a great addition to the list of available languages in Discover's configuration as we serve a large Vietnamese community.

Add COPPA to patron registration
Currently when someone applies through our Vega link (which goes to PowerPAC) for a library card and their name matches an existing cardholder, they get the following error message: "A patron with this name is already registered. Please contact the library for clarification."
It would be helpful if other fields could be cross-checked for duplicates, not just the first and last names. We receive numerous reports of this monthly from staff across the consortium, but we have no sense of how often it's actually happening.8 votes -
Maintain authentication across collection sites
A patron that has signed in on the main Vega site or any collection site should remain signed in when linking to another collection site (unless the library has specifically limited sign in to an individual site). Currently, when an authenticated patron clicks to view another collection site, they lose their authentication. Patrons are not aware that they are on a completely separate site and are then confused when clicking on "My Bookshelf" does nothing. If they click on their account at the top of the page, they are prompted to sign and and are then authenticated without having to…
