Allow Patrons to Freeze a Hold when there are no other patrons in queue
Patrons cannot freeze a hold when there are no other patrons in the queue (see image below). In the July 2026 catalogue upgrade the original ticket for this was closed by Innovative, but the behaviour was not changed.
Ideally, if all holds in the queue are frozen (or there are no holds), patrons should be able to freeze a hold.
Library users need to manage their holds. We do not want them to need to go to the circulation desk to freeze a hold because they cannot do this in the catalogue.

Include Preferred Notifcation in Patron Assist Account
A common question patrons ask when holds are placed it how they will be notified when it comes in. It would be great if Patron Assist showed their preferred notification method from the main account page. You can see it if you go to "edit" and scroll to the bottom, but it would be nice to have it easily seen at a glance instead of having to hunt for it.

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.

Allow Vega to item level holds
Currently Vega only supports title level holds. It would be nice if Vega had the same behaviour as WebOPAC and allow item level holds.

Expand Content Scoping for Custom Sites/collections to include scoping by subject or material type
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.

Limit loan period of renewal if patron's account will expire during renewal.
Currently our settings for patrons renewing their loans via Discover are overly simple--if the setting allows them to renew their items, you can choose yes or no to allow them to renew when their account is expiring during the renewed loan. If the renewal period could be limited to the expiry of the patron account, it would provide a good opportunity to remind patrons that they need to renew their account.

Add Harvard and Vancouver to citation options
We would like to see Harvard, Vancouver, and APA added to the available citation options. There has already been an idea submitted for APA, so adding one for Harvard and Vancouver here too.

Ask Us feature
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.

Showcases should retain bib type focus
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…

Community Tags
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.

Logging when a customer logs into their Vega account
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.

please add Blackstone as a supported eVendor.

(Vega Homepage) Allow Kids' Catalogs to add early language learning for specific showcases
We plan to experiment with customized code to build this feature, but it would be ideal to have the option to add a customizable text bubble at the top of specific showcases within the 'Audience Theme' set to 'Children.' This bubble could be edited by library staff. Our goal is to include early language learning prompts within each showcase category, such as 'What sound does a dog make?' under the Subject - Dogs, or 'What is your favorite bird?' under Birds. While we're confident we can implement this with custom JS, we are concerned that it might break with future…
