Scholastic Reading Levels in Vega Discover
Adding the Scholastic Reading Level to a books within Vega Discover as an option for patrons and staff could prove to be helpful. Scholastic Reading Levels are used in some schools so allowing for that variety can be helpful for patrons to choose items that will be made for them.

Creating a Username in Vega Discover
Currently in the PAC, patrons are allowed to create a special username in place of library card barcode to sign in and use the account. However, Vega Discover does not have the functionality to go into My Bookshelf for example, and create a username for their account within the patron's settings. Is this functionality that can be added to the newer catalog in order to ensure that all patrons can have access to that feature?

Show format icons in admin instead of the word "default"
It would be much more helpful for us if we saw the current default icons for each format type when we look at the "ILS Material Type to Work Level Roll Up Mapping" chart (see attached). We have no way of knowing what the "default" icon is for some of these formats, so we would have to do a search one by one in grid view to see what each format is by default. The chart should display the current default icon either next to or instead of the word "default" and there could be an option at the top…

Show In Library Use status on the Search Page
We would like a way to show on the search page when an item is a In Library Use Only status. Right now, ours just says everything is available with no search button which can cause confusion for patrons. We want people to find these items so they know we have them, but to make it clear when looking at a search that they will have to come into the library to use it.

Add "Select All", "Add to List" and "Place Holds" buttons to the bottom of the search results.
The bulk holds and bulk bookmarking features are very helpful. This would be more user-friendly if the "Select All", "Add to List" and "Place Holds" buttons were repeated at the bottom of the page. This would allow the user to scroll down through the list and make selections and then act upon those selections when they reach the bottom of the page, before clicking on to the next page.
Currently, a user has to scroll down to make selections, then scroll all the way back to the top of the page to add selections to a list or place holds,…

Display information for everything by one author
When someone clicks on the author name for an item, they should be brought to a search result that shows all items by that author available in their library system. Currently, we're brought to a page that looks like what I've attached and it's quite annoying to try and view everything and look for availability. If a patron is looking for information about an author, they're not likely to go looking in the library catalog. They should be able to click the author's name and see everything the author has written that's available in their library system as though they…

Discover pickup location should default to 'select a library' not the first in the alphabet
Currently, when I library is temporarily closed for a renovation, we noticed different behavior in Discover vs. the PAC when it comes to default pickup location. We think the way it used to work is better.
In Discover that patrons registered to that library (who have no preferred pick up location) set on their profile... Discover will default to the first one alphabetically. This is a problem for us as a consortium because now patrons are clicking through and sending things to the library that starts with A for pickup. Yes, they can select another one, but most will just…

Clicking next page should display the search results at the top of the page and not remain at the bottom of the search results
Currently when you click to go to the next page of search results, you remain at the bottom of the page, which means you have to scroll all the way to the top to view the next page of results, then scroll all the way back down to get back to page navigation to go to the next page. The navigation should either display the top of the search results when the next page is clicked and/or allow the page navigation to be accessed from the top of the page/search results also and not just the bottom of the page/search…

Sort order of attached items should match the sort order in Sierra.
Sort order of attached items should match the sort order in Sierra. Series can then display is order by volume not by date published which results in displaying the last volume first.

Homepage Schedule - Publishing Record
We'd like to be able to look back and see what we promoted on Vega Homepage (esp. if we promised promotion for something).
With scheduled homepage layouts (https://portal.productboard.com/iii/15-vega-product-portal/c/772-in-beta-schedule-publishing-in-the-home-page-builder), we would like to keep track of what showcase blocks we have scheduled in the future as well as those already published (past events), ideally viewable in a way (table?) with what is included in the Showcase Block Settings - for example, title, start date and time, end date and time. This would be exportable as a .csv file. A minimum of time that Vega would keep published blocks would…

relevancy improvement
When doing a title search, search results that have the search term in the title should have a higher relevancy than those that have the search term in the subtitle.
For example, when doing a title search for "thriller" in our catalog, two of the first three results have thriller in the title. You have scroll through over a hundred more search results before you find another item titled "Thrillers" and another page of results before you find another result specifically titled "Thriller" The rest of the results have thriller in the subtitle.
If there is an exact title match…

Export list of titles when browsing by reading level
We are LOVING the fact that Syndetics Unbound pulls in reading-level information and readalikes. We anticipate this will be very popular with teachers and parents, and it would be awesome if there was a way to easily export a list of the titles available at that level. As far as we can tell, right now there isn't a way to add all of the titles to a list or export/print the list.

Staff user accounts: add library/organization field
To manage staff accounts across a consortium, we need to be able to associate users with each other by library. It would be very useful to have a piece of metadata for staff accounts that identifies which library(ies) they work for.
This would:
1. Make it easier to filter users when looking at the long list of all users.
2. Let people have control over the showcases created by others in their organization but not the entire system - currently, we can't let librarians publish their own showcases because we don't want them to have consortia-level control to all showcases.…3 votes -
(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…

We leverage discover.rhpl.org for our Vega Discover Premium catalog access but to access our staff portal we have to remember to use https://rhpl.na3.iiivega.com/staff/
Please allow premium users leveraging custom DNS to use their custom domain for /staff access as well.

Reading History diplays pop-up warning with deletion.
When patrons are deleting anything from reading history a pop-up window will notify them that (currently) their entire history will be deleted: "Are you sure you want to delete your entire reading history?" And if individual title deleting becomes a possibility: "are you sure you want to delete this(these) titles?"
