Ability to Freeze Overdrive Holds
Many of our patrons prefer to control their Overdrive/Libby account through the catalog. There is currently no freeze option for Overdrive holds within Vega Discover. Not sure if this is because we don't import the Overdrive records into our ILS (Sierra) or not.

Make the Log In pop-up "Sticky"
The Log In pop up disappears if the mouse is ever-so-slightly off the tab, and keeps closing. This can be frustrating. Can this be "sticky" once clicked, so it doesn't disappear while patrons are typing?

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.

Separate out the You May Also Like settings in Syndetics so we can turn off similar series without turning off top picks
We have the ability to turn off "Other books in the series" in our Syndetics settings which turns off the gray covers for items not owned in that section, but unfortunately we have no way to turn off just the "Similar Series" section of "You May also Like" without also turning off the "Top Picks" for individual titles in the "You May also Like" section. We would like "Top Picks" to be separate from "Similar Series" in the settings for "You May Also Like" so we can turn off one without turning off the other.

(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.

"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.

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.

Allow for more information to be searched while using the Search Editions bar in the Resource pages
For materials that have a large number of editions, the search bar feature doesn't currently assist with narrowing down to a specific item. It will only search for Item Record Data. Being able to search for the Publication Date, Edition, and Publisher would assist those looking for a specific material.

Option to Set Default Material Type Search Filters
Patrons should have the option to set a default filters from their account so anytime they search while logged it, they do not have to see unrelated content. This is especially true now that Hoopla records can appear as there are many patrons who only want print and are unable to find the items they're looking for because they're buried beneath three DVDs and twelve eBooks.

Add Polaris's "Street 2" field to address display in Account Portal
The current "address" information in the Account Portal consists of the Street 1 field from Polaris on the top line and the City, State, and ZIP fields grouped on the second line. Our library uses Street 2 for apartment numbers and would like the option to display Street 2 in account portal so that patrons don't think part of their address is missing from our records.

Improve hold position for consortium sites
Could the hold position be refined so that a patron from Library A can see their position in line specifically for their home library’s copies? Leap already supports this—when the holds queue is filtered by the patron’s library, it correctly shows the local position.
For example, The Correspondent currently has 426 holds across the consortium. When I place a hold, Vega shows my position as No. 427 (see screenshot 1). However, my home library has several copies, and in Leap my local position is No. 11 (see screenshot 2).
It would be much clearer for patrons if Vega displayed their…

Honour Sierra loan rules at the point of placing holds, not just at checkout.
This would ensure patrons can put holds on what they can actually checkout, by determiners like their patron type, checkout location and the item’s type. This would reduce frustration, failed requests, and staff intervention. For example, our corporate library collection can only be borrowed by patrons with a Corporate ptype. Currently when a title exists in both the Corporate and general collections and is available to borrow in the general collection, patrons retrieve an “unrequestable” message from Vega if they select to "Request any edition". This occurs correctly for patrons without the required Corporate ptype when they attempt to place…

Increase the number of showcases that can be added to a Hero Carousel
We feel the Hero Carousel is a good way to highlight items that do not have a cover image (ex. digital content such as streamed video).
However, it is currently limited to 5 showcases/URLs. It would be great if the number could be increased.

please include 775 $a in Bibframe Concept: Agent (for translated works)
As the 245$c field is not indexed we are struggling with how to find authors of translated works. The 775$a often has the anglicized version of the author's name that appears on the cover of a work. This cannot be searched for right now because the 245$c is not indexed. If the 775$a were indexed, this would help.
Example:
Title of book: Cursed bunny /|cBora Chung ; translated by Anton Hur.
The 1XX and 6XX fields is the name authority: Chŏng, Po-ra,|d1976-|eauthor.The 775 field is this:

Vega Admin - Locations lists
We are a system with a single listing for both Level 1 and Level 2, and all of our 'locations' (and future/placeholder locations) are Level 3.
1 - Level 1
2 - Level 2
3 - Library Name - Level 3
4 - Library Name - Level 3
5 - Library Name - Level 3We had intentionally placed our internal services 'locations' at the end of the list so they would be less likely to be interfiled with our listed locations.
These locations seem to be sorted by digit (1, 10, 11, 12) even when its number isn't listed,…
