  1. Recently this was fixed in Vega intentionally, however this auto-filling used to save our staff time in their weekly tasks. Ideally when you select a showcase, the title would be auto populated into the 'Showcase block title' box. Instead, it remains unchanged from the previous showcase. In the page preview, the showcase itself successfully changes (the books reflect the new selection), but the title doesn't update. This means our staff must type in the title each time.

  5. We would like Sierra pop-up messages to be displayed in the patron account in Vega.

    We use these messages to communicate important information to our patrons. As more of our services are now self-service, patrons have fewer opportunities to interact with staff at the service desk. We therefore need an effective way to communicate with them directly through the systems they use.

    We understand that other libraries have previously requested this functionality and that the suggestion has since been closed. However, we still consider this an important feature for effective communication with our patrons, particularly when we need to share…

  6. clarivate arbitrarily selected a PaymentMethodID of "13 - Debit Card" for all Vega Discover Fine/Fees payments. This makes all payments show up under the Debit Card category within Polaris Reports (e.g. "Financial Transaction by Payment Type"). The PaymentMethodID should actually be "12 - Credit Card," as all of these Vega transactions are actually processed via PayPal as credit card, regardless of whether the card is actually a debit card or a credit card.

    Note that: PayPal does not deliver the payment card type used by the end user payee. Whatever is implemented here potentially in the future must be an all or nothing toggle for all payments received from paypal.

  7. PayPal confirms that Vega currently passes the contents of the "Comments1" and "Comments2" field to PayPal's PayFlow Pro during the process of authorizing transactions, tokenizing the transaction, etc. The contents of the "Comments1" field are currently reflected as simply the letter "f". We would like this Comments field updated to read "Fines/Fees" so that it's more descriptive, please. The Comments2 field is fine; it contains the patron's Library Card #.

  9. The kids homepage carousels force our covers into stretched and awkward sizes (see image). The adult page seems to (1) show the covers larger (2) has less space between titles and (3) adjust to their cover dimensions. The kids looks so jankity.

  11. I'm trying to make an Accessibility Site/Catalog that focuses on our materials such as large print, braille, and audio. However, you can only use location/shelf location or collection type to as scoping parameters.

    It would be lovely to be able to expand the scope to include subject headings, material types, genres, etc.

  13. Please provide an Ask Us feature similar to the one in the classic catalogue. Some libraries do have a contact email address listed in the library info dropdown, but others don't, and our patrons use the Ask Us feature regularly.

  14. When building a Showcase using the "Create from ILS List" function, the resulting list should float the bib type used to create the list to the top for display.

    For example, I've created a list of new DVDs and have built a showcase based on that list. The resulting showcase defaults to displaying the Blu-ray tab. Because the ILS list includes the record number, and I know you can link directly to a specific tab using that record number, we should be able to highlight those specific types in the showcase, if not by default, then it should be an…

  15. In Encore, libraries had the ability to add Community Tags. These were quite useful in searching for topics that aren't traditional LC Subject Headings. For example, on our website, we have a link to Kids Resources on various topics like "potty training" as a community tag, the LC heading is "toilet training". Or "healthy eating". We also have Award winners as tags - Caudill, Monarch, Bluestem award winners.

  16. We would like to have some logging of when a customer signs into Vega. This would help us troubleshoot certain transactions the customer may have issues with. It would also provide counts for other types of usage reports pertaining to Vega usage.

  20. With multiple records rolling up into one, sometimes the featured cover art visible in Vega for the entire rollup of a title is less than ideal (the image is from record with the newest copyright/publishing date). The only way to remedy this (I've been in touch with Syndetics) is to falsify the original record with an incorrect 020 or remove the 020 completely. It would be nice if libraries could a) manually force an image skip (ie choose the next image available), b) add our own generic images, or c) manually remove the image completely from a record without tampering…
