Facet Navigation and Display Improvements
Improve Facet display by better utilizing space in Refinement Panel and utilizing word wrapping when necessary to display full facet value.
In All Facet view display data in a single column of scrollable data and utilize word wrapping when necessary to display full facet value.
For Limited Value facets such has: format, location, collection, age group, language, donor; allow the full facet content to display in the refine panel when expanded and in all facet view by adding scroll.
For larger value facets such as concepts, persons, publishers; enable a Load XX more <facet> button in the All Facet View to allow users to view more information without searching.
In All Facet View, upon open, display Search <facet> help text as well as place cursor in search box.
In the Mobile responsive views that collapse the refinement panel by default, when in Advanced Search Mode, add the 'refine results' panel open toggle to the top left above the instructional text on the landing page.
Remove the Apply Step when selecting facets globally for all Vega searches.
Add a setting that modifies the Location Facet by floating the 'home location' to the top of the facet list. Use Patron home if authenticated patron. Use preferred locations if kiosk or collection site.

We are a large consortia and our locations should be listed in alphabetical order to provide consistency.

If the location options could be something similar to this for ease of access and findability, would be so helpful. It's at the top of the page, one can easily toggle between all libraries in the consortium and the patron's home library.

As a smaller library in a large consortia it is very important to us that our locations be listed in alphabetical order.

We are a large consortia of libraries and our locations should be listed in alphabetical order to provide consistency for our patrons. Also, the sorting by record count is obscuring important options for my patrons. These are very important features that will help our patrons easily transition to the new catalog interface and they will be thrilled with the new features and look and feel! Love it!

As a smaller library with a smaller collection we wouldn't even be seen on the list. This is very detrimental to the survival of our library.

We are a member library of a large consortia, and our locations should be listed in alphabetical order to improve patrons' access to our materials. Also, our collection is smaller and sorting facets by record count is hiding options for my patrons as they show up lower on the list.

The sorting of facets by record count and obscuring of options for patrons is a well intended but harmful mechanism of censorship that is antithetical to the mission of libraries: creating access for all. Our patrons know to find resources through an alphabetical library listings and that is an essential function of a working catalog.

I wholeheartedly agree with all of the comments listed. We have a variety of sizes of libraries, where some might never be seen when using a facet.
My only request is that it is done for all versions of Vega Discover, not just Consortia+ or Premium Libraries.

We are a large library system with 66 members and need to show all values in alphabetical order and all patrons need to be able to find their library. Please make the needed changes. Thank you.
