Automated Best Sellers Club/Favorites Holds
Allow patrons to automate holds for new releases from their favorite authors. Patrons should be able to select their favorite authors to be automatically placed on hold for new releases or acquisitions from that author. Vega discover could also provide statistics on which authors have the most holds, allowing libraries the ability to improve purchasing for popular authors. This would provide an improved solution to a popular program offered by many libraries.

Ability to assign or group target ages into a specific age group facet w/o manipulating records
We'd like to have ability to change the mapping of the Audn: Target audience (BKS, COM, REC, SCO, VIS: 008/22; 006/05) to a specific age group facet. For example, many catalog records have a blank assigned for target audience. Search results will include these records but they fall out when the "general" facet is selected. We do not want to manipulate these records to "g" when [blank] is a valid option. Also, we'd like the ability to group the target audience a (preschool), b (primary), and c (pre-adolescent) under j (juvenile) without manipulating the catalog records in our database.

Allow Vega eCommerce to enter minimum amounts that aren't "even"
In Vega eCommerce setup, you have to enter a whole dollar amount as a minimum amount that can be paid online. We require a minimum of $1.01, which is confusing to patrons if we configure this at $1 See screen shot.

Auto-apply facet selections
Currently, you have to select "Apply" for limiting your search with facets. Most websites these days automatically apply filters/facets, making auto-apply something our patrons are used to using.

Item Status Mapping
We are running into an issue where our Item Status Mapping descriptions set in Polaris are not lining up with Vega. Vega looks like it is displaying the Item Status Name in the description column. It would be super nice to be able to change Mapping description in Vega like you can do in Polaris. Just a slight issue we have experienced and we are trying to figure out a work around for it. Thanks!

Allow local order in Facet Display
Some facets are really important to searching and should be ranked higher. For us the format is the most important facet. That may not be true everywhere. Consortia are more concerned with collecection and location, so we need to have the ability to organice the facets as we could in Encore

relevancy towards newer titles
Patrons are not finding the latest popular titles. patrons want to searc forJohn Grisham and immediately see the most "currently" relevant title- the one everyone is looking for, the one people are talking about and want to get their name on. Maybe it isnt even published. In Encore this is the first title you see, in Vega you wont find it for a bit.
Relevancy must consider date of publication over the number of copies.

Where are we??? - we own stuff VEGA!!!
In a large consortia the locations with smaller collections are not showing up. Only 40 sites show. This means the large libraries with more content are always displayed, and the big sites always get top billing. Our little librarys deserve the same exposure (maybe more). In the location facet all libraries should be listed if the result set includes content from their collections. Locations should be listed alphabetically and not by the number of items in the set.

Show library logo in mobile view
The library logo appears when on a library's collection site on a desktop computer, but on the phone it disappears. It would be nice if the logo could still display on mobile view.

Move Personal Name Subject Headings to Concepts/Topics
600 Subject added entry - personal name headings are currently displaying as Contributors/Persons. This is making it difficult to find additional resources ABOUT a person. When the person appears in the Subject field, they are not really a contributor, they are the Subject. Displaying these headings as Contributors is confusing. I believe this is on the roadmap but it would be nice to see this addressed sooner than later.

"Place hold" button recognize Item Record "Limited to pickup at" (Polaris)
Work flow example: Vega sees the Bib Record is display in PAC (checked). Item Records associated to the Bib Record are all "Limited to pickup at..." (checked) the Place Hold dialog box shown on Vega should only reflect those values.

Allow us to sync collections (Sync Now feature)
We currently utilize ILS code synchronization for Material type, status, (Sierra only) message code synchronization, and Location synchronization. We kindly request the addition of a 'Sync Now' feature for Collections.
Currently, any newly added collections or changes to existing collections require an overnight job for processing. Until this process is completed, new collections will only display the collectionID instead of the intended naming scheme.

Customized Vega Help Section
I should preface this with the understanding that we can build our own help page and direct traffic there. However, the built-in Vega Help section contains fantastic material and is most likely updated with any new deployments of Vega Discovery. We'd love to have the ability to leverage those pieces while still maintaining our own branding, customized text, customized imagery, embedding Vega Guide, and adding alternative sources such as Niche Academy video tutorials.

E-Source Targets in Vega
I am requesting the development of a dedicated e-source target module in Vega to fully replace and improve upon the e-source linking functionality currently offered in Polaris and PowerPAC. To offer comprehensive e-source target capabilities in Vega that meet both current needs and future potential, I propose the following:
Replicate Existing Polaris/PowerPAC Functionality
- Add, edit, organize targets in Vega Admin
- Set access restrictions and authentication parameters
- Enable/disable link accessibility for in-house and remote users
- Block access by patron code and IP address
- Pass authentication data to target on click-through
- Display links in Vega Discover…6 votes -
vega homepage - store images
Currently you cannot store your images/promotional assets for Vega Homepage like you can for LX Starter. We have some "evergreen" images we like to use for the Hero and if we use one week, then take it down, use later, you have to try and dig it up locally. Ideally you could save the Hero image and associated URL/Showcase Link and just pull that up.
Note: I may have complained about this in another idea (maybe the scheduling of layouts idea) but it's really standalone.

OverDrive Authentication via SIP
Currently, you can only authenticate a patron by Patron ID or Barcode . Sometimes the libraries in the consortia don't tell us their barcode prefixes have changed and patrons were being blocked for no reason. So we are utilizing the SIP connection with OverDrive and Kanopy to block against patron type in Polaris, no longer utilizing the barcode prefixes so patrons have easier access. Now that fix might not work in Vega to authenticate OverDrive because we don't use the barcode.

Ability to add some color scheme around search box on home page
Patron keeps commenting that they can't find the search box on the homepage. If the library can add two color scheme around the box to highlight the box, it will help the search box to stand out. If a lot of color schemes can be provided, library can change the color scheme based on season, special theme, special program, etc.
