one click hold
Would like to see the ability to place a one click hold like you can currently do the Polaris power pac. If you've chosen a preferred pickup location I don't see the necessity of having that 2nd window pop up that makes you confirm that.

Ingest Name Authority Records into Vega Discover
I think that ingesting name authority records into Vega Discover would improve capturing name tracings in the 400 field, so that for example if Samuel Langhorne Clemens is searched, Mark Twain's works will also appear etc.

Consistent display of first available item Vega retrieves for works if a library has multiple items attached.
We have several multi-volume titles (graphic novels, travel guides, etc.) along with Library of Things title records that involve varying items owned by the same library requiring different call numbers and we’re finding some instances of Vega showing call number information of different copies depending on window of a rollup (main title work rollup, “Find a Copy” window, when clicking a specific library in list after clicking on “Find a Copy”) resulting in some confusion of library members and patron. To be consistent across at least the first two windows would be helpful. Please see attached for example.

Polaris Item Level "Material Types" as a facet in Discover
We would like a refinement facet that uses the ITEM LEVEL "material types" from Polaris that are more specific than the current bib level Types of Material used in the Format Facet.

Order records and non-circulating holdings records not appearing on collection sites.
On Order items and non-circulating items with holdings records (e.g. newspapers) do not appear in the search results on collection sites for consortia setup. Rather, they only appear in the search results for the global site.

library information specific to collection site the patron is currently on
Right now, when you click on the library info icon in the top right, it seems to default to whichever library we have most recently been editing on the admin interface. It should default to the library site that you are actually on. as it is, the patron must use the drop down to find their library. I am sure others have made this request.

Copy configuration to and from kiosks and collection sites
It would be very useful for consortia managers to be able to copy the homepage configuration, global header, and potentially other settings from the main site/parent domain to kiosks and collection sites or from any type of site to another. Or, similarly, to be able to simply duplicate a site and then edit it from there.
This would save a lot of time when trying to create multiple sites that are harmonious in appearance and experience but distinct in content.

Improved User Access Management
As a System Administrator managing over 100 Collection Sites, identifying which assets a user has access to requires manually checking every single site. This is prohibitively time-consuming and leads to errors when editing, auditing, or deleting user accounts and Collection Sites. A Centralized User Access Management feature would help audit and efficiently manage user permissions across all Vega Discover assets. Ideally, the feature should allow staff to:
1. Select a User
2. View a comprehensive list of all associated Collection Sites, Kiosks, and Showcases the user has access to.
3. Manage those access points centrally (e.g., bulk removal of access)…24 votes -
Dynamic Holds
After being on Vega Discover for awhile, we are running into an issue with our holds queues. We understand how the algorithm works when selecting "Request Any Edition", and it makes sense in that moment, but we have a few problems that have come up.
On-order records aren't rolling up because there are slight differences in the metadata. Holds start accruing on one of these records before we are able to fix the metadata. Additional copies may not be ordered in that format (i.e. it's a softcover and most libraries tend to order the hardcover, or it was a deluxe…

Ability to use facets to refine/filter Showcase results
It would be helpful for patrons to be able to refine Showcase results by selecting facets as in the advanced search (e.g., to filter by availability, location, format, etc.).

Add Sort by Author for Bookmarks and Lists in patron accounts
Add Sort by Author Ascending/Descending options to Bookmarks and Lists in patron accounts.
Along with Title and Date Added, this is an option in WebPAC that patrons are used to having. It also makes sense to have consistent view/sort behavior across the catalog. So, since patrons are/will be able to sort search results, checkouts, holds, and reading history by author, they should be able to do the same with other lists, as well.

Admin control of Staff-created showcases and saved searches
When staff create showcases and then are no longer with the library, there is no way the Admin can "take over" the showcase to maintain it. The only option is to delete the showcase and re-create it. Same with saved searches. If a reference librarian has created a saved search but leaves the library, search would have to be re-created.

Displaying additional bibliographic information (Notes, Table of Contents, etc.) in Vega search records/results.
Right now, our library has to go through multiple steps to see useful information (like table of contents) or cannot see some detailed information (such as bib notes that we use to give customers/staff additional information about titles.)
For example, when someone clicks on a title, you then have to select the “i” to display the item’s listings, and then click again to see an items table of contents. It would make the most sense for everything that is in the details, be included in that initial edition display.
And similarly, we are not able to see the item’s 500a…

Include Local Subject Added Entry - Form Subdivision (690 $v)
690 $v is currently ignored upon ingest, causing Local Subject entries to disregard subheadings in Concept displays. We're attempting to create showcases based on saved concept searches for some of our local collections, rather than needing to manually updated showcases as new items are added. Subcollections with subject heading like Diversity Collection -- Asian/Pacific Islander literature, Diversity Collection -- Latinx literature, and Diversity Collection -- LGBTQIA+ literature all display under the concept Diversity Collection in Discover.

Automatically hide suppressed records in Showcases
Currently, if a suppressed bib is included in a showcase, it displays but doesn't include details and is not clickable. It shows the default colour block with title instead of the cover image and does not link to more information. Additionally, if the showcase is embedded outside of Vega, the titles display this way and are clickable but lead to a 404 error.
This can be resolved by removing the title from the showcase but that requires someone to notice and report the issue and then for the showcase list to be updated manually. This workflow also doesn't allow for…

add 505$t should be included in title search
The 505$t subfield should be included in the title search.
Here is an example of a situation where that is valuable. If a library user is searching for Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle" and uses the Title search, they will only find the actual work "Cat's Cradle". However, this book is also contained in short story compilations. They will miss this short story compilation which may better suit their reading needs.

Search name of showcase
Ability to search the name of a showcase. (This is similar to a feature BiblioCore has where patrons can type "new dvds" and retrieve a pre-limited search results). So, this would enable libraries to create a showcase called New DVDs, and patrons would be able to easily find those materials.

Configure Vega Fine Payment to a Specific Stat Group in Sierra
Vega fine payments are automatically assigned to stat group 0 within Sierra, limiting our ability to track e-commerce payments effectively.
We propose configuring Vega to use a custom stat group for fine payments. This would simplify our monthly reporting process by consolidating fine payment data from two PayPal accounts into a single report, reducing the risk of errors.

Default focus format tab in search should always be book unless format has been used as a filter.
When a user searches Vega Discover and has not applied a format filter we should not automatically select the first available format when frequently used formats such as book are unavailable (all copies circulating) because this can cause confusion resulting in an undesired request on the wrong format of a title.
A format tab other than the first default format should only be selected when a user has applied a format filter.

Volume in series searching by number
Can you possibly index the volume sub field within the record in order to make the searching of books within a series a bit more efficient? For example, searching Dog Man 6 and getting volume 6 of Dog Man within our results.
