Enable translations within Syndetics Unbound content
Within the Syndetics Unbound content, enable translations for data such as "other books in this series" or Subjects, etc.

You can supplement and alter these in the syndetics admin. Reach out to support for help and access if needed!

Social Sharing of Lists
This is a combination of 2 ideas: Patrons would like to share lists they've created, and some patrons like to "Follow" others. We could create a new world of library "influencers" such as what is on social media, by having "Library Influencers" - those with over x number of followers. Patrons could select who they want to follow, and lists could be shared over social platforms.

StackMap - VEGA support
StackMap is an indoor mapping web application that helps patrons easily locate library resources including material, subjects wayfinding, rooms and public PCs in real-time. At this time, VEGA does not seem to support this application, but it does work in the default Polaris catalog.
17 votesVega Discover Premium and Consortia versions support an integration with StackMap, an indoor mapping web application that helps patrons easily locate library resources.
Vega Discover Premium and Consortia libraries can reach out to support@stackmap.com to request the required script to embed into their custom header code.

(Vega Homepage) Allow libraries more padding and spacing control between content
At present, we employ code adjustments in our customized header to reduce padding/spacing across Vega Discover's homepage. It would be highly beneficial if there were built-in options within Vega Homepage themes or experience settings to directly control and minimize this spacing. For reference, I've attached a screenshot showcasing our customized control with yellow highlights compared to the default spacing highlighted in magenta.

(Vega Homepage) Events component does not automatically arrange in chronological order
The events component on the homepage currently does not automatically arrange events in chronological order. Additionally, there is no option for manual reordering, and modifying the sequence necessitates deleting preceding events to position a new item ahead of another.
3 votesUpdates were made that allow events to be re-ordered manually.
Libraries with Vega Program integration can set Dynamic events rows that update automatically and are in chronological order.

(Vega Homepage) Allow us to customize themed home page backgrounds/colors
As Vega Discover Premium customers, we value a personalized approach. While we currently appreciate the Comic/Steampunk or modern designs, our goal for the future is to have the autonomy to customize this aspect ourselves.

View and manipulate linked patrons in My Bookshelf
the library would like patrons to be able to see patrons that are linked in Sierra. For instance, to allow a patron to renew their kids items under their Juvenile accounts, in bulk at once or flipping to that account view for renewing without re-logging in, or see and/or pay their fines, etc, because the accounts are linked in Sierra.

Renew All Option
Allow patrons to "select all" to renew all eligible items from their checkout screen. Patrons with multiple items (sometimes 40 or more) have to select each individual item to renew. A "renew all" or "select all" feature would be helpful.

Configure more than one INN-Reach

Customise spacing between facets
We would like to be able to reduce the spacing between facets which was fixed in the "Refine Results Display Fix" so that more results could display on a page, as the space from a look and feel perspective is too big.

View entire My Bookshelf at once so can see all holds and checkouts
We have had a few customers report that when they open their My Bookshelf on a laptop they can't see their entire bookshelf. When they open in a new tab or new window it doesn’t display optimally either. You can control and – to make the screen smaller, but then you can't actually read what's on your bookshelf. They know you can use the toggles but you can't see all your holds or checkouts at once.

Display series volume
Include volume of series in record display (490 $v). Currently, only the series and the semicolon prior to $v displays in Vega Discover. Including the series number would make it easier for patrons to find the volume they are looking for.

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!

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.
