Randomize Showcase Displays
Showcases can only be sorted chronologically by publication date or alphabetically by title. We'd like to have 'random' as an option, so that the showcase would be sorted randomly each time the page / showcase loads.

Include Call Number in Checkout Summary
We would like the checkout summary in Discover to have a call number column like it does in the PAC. Some libraries use the call number to store information for linked uncataloged items. Please see the two attached examples.

add author to checkouts & holds lists (as it appears in circ history list)
Please add the author details to the holds lists (as it appears in the circ history list). I see many ideas about sorting holds and current checkouts by author, so I thought I would include the obvious, and ask that the author display for both lists. It does appear for circ history, and customers need this to manage their circulation.

Kiosk timeout period
Please make it so that the timeout period for kiosks can be applied only when a patron has logged into their account. While there might be a need to end a session if a patron has only done a search for something, it seems much more important to make sure a patron's account is logged out in a timely manner if they've forgotten to that themselves.

Sort Serial Holdings With Latest Issue at Top
We'd like Vega to sort the volumes in a serial holdings display with the latest issues at the top for easy patron access.
For example, we have People magazine, with hundreds of items in our holdings. With the PAC display, the lastest issues are listed at the top, descending from there by date, so patrons can easily see what the latest issue is that we have and can quickly place a hold (see attached file "pac-request-list" screenshot). Vega seems to sort oldest-to-newest, so the user will have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list to find…

Do not hide shelf location when no physical copies are available
When there are physical copies of the title available, the shelf location appears on the results page. However, if there are no physical copies on the shelf at any location, that shelf location is hidden and the user must click into a location in order to see the shelf location. It is inconvenient to have that information hidden on the front page.

Library Info Dropdown - address wrap
Currently, addresses in the Library Info widget wrap text, as opposed to having line breaks like a proper address. I.e. in the images, the one labelled "Carbon edit" is how we want it to show up, but it shows up as seen in "Carbon widget". Additionally, words are also wrapping when they shouldn't be in other areas, as seen in the image of "Keg River widget". We would like this to display in the same way that it looks in the editor.

you saved
Add the "You Saved" amounts (either this year or lifetime) to my account in Vega. We have this for patrons who checkout at staff station from Leap but sadly not available in our SIP connected Self Checks. Would be great to highlight this for patrons.

Option to delete multiple showcases at once as an admin.

Update internal logic to allow selection of the identifiers (e.g. ISBN, UPC, etc) that Discover sends to Syndetics Unbound for cover images
The Nov 5, 2025 Discover Release Notes (https://iii.rightanswers.com/portal/app/portlets/results/viewsolution.jsp?solutionid=250108121147587&guest=0#mcetoc_1j9d37oot2) introduced format level cover images. Now only one identifier is sent to Syndetics in the following hierarchy / order:
- Configured custom 856 Cover URLs
- ISBN
- EAN/IAN
- ISSN
- UPC
This purportedly fixed an error where incorrect cover images would appear when both ISBN and UPC identifiers were sent to Syndetics, since these ISBN / UPC numbers in the cover image link might come from different records in the rollup.
However, in the case of rollups of thousands of our AV records (Music CDs and DVDs/Blu-rays), this change introduced a new issue:…

Sort by call number
Staff use the catalog to pull materials for displays and storytimes, and sorting by author or title doesn't do them any good when looking in Non-Fiction, or when looking across multiple collections. For example, if they were looking for display items for Dragons they are going to be possibly in a few different Dewey numbers as well as in all the subsets of fiction, so running a search and being able to sort by call number would help them find the items as efficiently as possible.

Can we add the ability to filter a search by what is actually borrow-able for the user.
It would be great to have a way to filter a search by what is actually borrow-able for the user. For instance, I was looking into a request from one of our libraries about placing a hold on a radon testing kit and after bopping around for a few minutes I realized there doesn't seem to be a way to filter a search by what is actually borrow-able for the user, which makes for a frustrating user experience.
