Be able to suppress holdings by branch
Currently, the only way to stop a branch's holdings from appearing in Vega is to uncheck "display in PAC" for each item assigned to that branch. It would be nice to have the ability in Vega admin to automatically suppress a branch (as we can in Polaris System Administration for PowerPAC)

Yes, libraries closing for periods of time happens more frequently than you'd think. I would consider this basic functionality and critical to have.

This is critical for consortial users.

Vega needs to be able to suppress by location, just as the PAC does.

This is a much needed enhancement. Being able to quickly suppress holdings by branch should be basic functionality.

Still eager for this critical feature.
At least hoping for Vega to respect the below Polaris SA settings:
Admin->Explorer->System->Profiles->PAC->Suppress Branches
and
Admin > Explorer > System and all branches > Policy Tables >

A variety of reasons can cause a branch to close (and sometimes quite quickly.) This enables the admin to quickly and accurately update the holdings availability for each branch. This provides better service to the patrons.

We also have the need for this within our library system for when libraries close, eithefor a construction project or for the Summer.

We close branches from time to time for renovation or emergency. I think it's critical to hide a branch in a click instead dealing with thousands of item records at a time.
