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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Provide a minimum of 2 Administrative Accounts
Currently only one account has the ability to make administrative changes to the Vega Discover site. It would be valuable to have at least 2 accounts to ensure that libraries are in compliance with security standards and not sharing accounts when the primary account holder is out and to split the role as needed for more efficient workflows.
12 votes2 Vega Admin accounts can be created by Innovative. When the User Roles and Permissions feature is released soon, you will be able to create other administrators as well.

Token for the Vega help in custom header
The current documentation has tokens to add the login and language selection to the custom header https://documentation.iii.com/vega/admin/admin/ConfigureCustomHeaderFooter.htm
There doesn't appear to be a token/component for the help button that's in the default header, but I'd love to be able to use that.

Make Syndetics Only Link to the Current Vega Collection
Some Syndetics content links out to the main Vega collection instead of the collection that is currently being searched. For Consortia this will create patron issues since each member has their own collection.

Ability to place a hold on an item that is already checked out to that same patron.
Okay. Let me preface this by saying this does sound odd... although it's regular occurrence on popular material such as mobile hotspots. On the classic PAC (Polaris) if a patron has an item already checked out they can still place a hold on that same item. On Vega if a patron tries to do this it will only try to renew it.
BUT if the patron logs out of their Vega account. Searches for the material. Clicks place hold. It will then allow them to make that hold on the identical item.
Can we just make it possible for a…

Display Title informaiton in My Bookshelf for suppressed bibs and items
If a patron has borrowed an item for which the bibliographic record or all attached item records are suppressed, NO title information appears in the patron's Checkouts in My Bookshelf. Instead, an annoying message appears stating that the title is 'unavailable' (we changed it to state that the title details cannot display at this time). This happens also with our ILL titles and our Quick Picks (Express titles) that are from our browsable collection! This makes it impossible for the patron to know which title is due when if they have more than one of these checked out! Please find…
