Toggle "Display Showcase on Record Pages" for ILS Lists and Saved Searches
In the showcases made from bookmark lists, we can select whether to show the list on the record pages. This feature is not available for showcases made from ILS Lists or Saved Searches.
Some showcases from ILS Lists and Saved Searches may not be beneficial to patrons viewing record pages, even though we may generate showcases to embed on a website or to view for ourselves.
Scenario 1: ILS List that compiles Bib records that the image covers do not display correctly. This showcase would help our staff and support ticket responder(s) see whether the applied changes are working as…

Ability to hide fields on account page
We need the ability to hide certain fields in the account portal that we don't have. For instance, we only want one phone number in the account, but we cannot get rid of the second field for phone numbers even though we don't allow updating those fields. Also, since the address is not mapping correctly in our displayed address fields, we would like to hide this so customers are not confused.

Account Linking - Fines Payment Included
We would like the ability to combine and pay fines for linked accounts. That was a selling point for setting this up. A parent could pay all the fines for all of the children’s/partner’s accounts to pay by credit card. Since we require a $5 minimum, this would be super helpful for fines for account A with $1.50 and account B with $3.50 – combining would get them over that threshold.
Currently, if you try to pay fines for more than one of your accounts, you get a message, "Fines can only be paid for one account at a time…

Account portal: make Holds and Checkouts icons clickable
Make the two large purple icons, not just the text below them, link to their sections. Especially on mobile, this would be more user friendly. I find myself expecting them to be buttons. Some patrons may have to zoom in to accurately tap the text links.
It could be the icons or even the entire rectangular boxes and everything in them.

Password reset page doesn't look like it belongs to our Vega site
Patrons have expressed concern that the password reset page doesn’t resemble an MCPL page. One of them called to make sure they weren't being scammed. We have patrons of all levels of tech-savviness using our catalog. We'd love to be able to customize the look of this page or at least add our logo so that patrons aren't confused by the different look, feel, and URL of the password reset page.

Vega Discover version identifier needed for administrators
Hello,
Vega Discover administrators need a way to identify the software version.
Why? I find that the upgrade schedule is not always accurate. We are in North America and the upgrade can be delayed by a day, or happens during the middle of the expected day. It would be helpful to have a version stamp somewhere on the site or admin site to help administrators know when they can begin testing the new features.4 votes -
Available toggle in Showcases
We would love to have the ability to only show items that are available to check out in our showcases. This way, we could create long lists of items that don't remain static in their appearance, but instead show patrons different items based on what they could take home today. Seeing only the same 6 items on the front page every day gets old fast.

Sort admins
We are a special case, with more than 2000 admins. When we need to manage them in Vega staff > Settings > User management we would like to have some kind of sorting by name, or a search box which makes us easier to retrieve the person we are looking for. It would save us a lot of time.

Location info/filtering in account portal?
A patron was interested in being able to filter their bookmarked items by location in addition to Availability, i.e. to see at what location(s) the bookmarked items are available.

Option to hide "Request any edition" button
We would like there to be an option to hide the request any edition button, so that patrons would always have to pick a specific edition. We do very little weeding of older editions and have a large collection of early printed books which can be mixed in with regular open access copies, so depending on the holds ratio patrons could get served up a much older edition of a book than is useful for them if they use the more prominent "Request any edition" button.

E-resources: Remove "Note" if more than one link
We're very happy to see the full text being displayed for multiple links when clicking "Access Online" - however we would also like to see in cases where there are multiple links for the "Note" field to be removed. It currently only displays the label for the first link, obfuscating our other sources.

Citation export improvements
Some suggestions for the citation export in Vega:
1. RIS export only - Repeats the first AU field in A1. Solution: Remove A1 field from RIS, or first AU field if always identical to A1
2. RIS export and in-Vega citation - Edition (ET) includes all MARC 250 subfields when only subfield a (Edition statement) is necessary. Solution: Ideally just take first word of 250 $a, less ideally take all of 250 $a only. (Note: Endnote auto-generates the rest based on citation style e.g. takes first word "Eighth" and auto-generates following word: edition, ed., etc.)
3. RIS export and in-Vega…1 vote -
Add More Options for "Results Per Page"
Some patrons have reported they would like more options for the "results per page" when searching -- specifically, an option for 100. The PAC gave options up to 100, but Vega Discover only gives options up to 40 per page.

Expand Content Scoping for Custom Sites/collections to include scoping by subject or material type
I'm trying to make an Accessibility Site/Catalog that focuses on our materials such as large print, braille, and audio. However, you can only use location/shelf location or collection type to as scoping parameters.
It would be lovely to be able to expand the scope to include subject headings, material types, genres, etc.

Special Error message for patrons who do not have a Hoopla account
Currently there is only one error message for all eContent errors: no message from overdrive available. This is confusing for when the error is due to the patron not having a Hoopla account.

Improve Surfacing of Syndetics Content
Presently all Syndetics content is "below the fold." It would be great if we could make this content more visible through one or more options:
-Allow for direct navigation links on record detail pages.
-Allow for direct access to desired Syndetics widgets via search resultsBoth are available in comparable discovery systems, see screenshots. Both would ideally be optional and configurable.

Vega: Cover link at top of series' search results
The series covers, information, and linkage that are available further down in search results make tracking specific volumes and placing holds accurately much easier. Unfortunately, many people don't like to scroll and if it's not up top they don't see it, don't use it, and become annoyed. It would be great if a "See full series" link showed at the top of the scroll and took them down to the appropriate information.

Display a call number in search and full view for the format even if all copies are unavailable
The two main pieces of information people need when they are looking for an item are the title and the call number. The call number should ALWAYS appear on search results and any other page following. Right now, the call number only appears in search results if there are available copies. This prevents people from seeing where they could browse for similar titles. Please put call numbers everywhere they need to be.

Add Vega Discover Patron Language Translations
Library staff have asked for the following translations to be made available so that patrons can select them in Vega Discover:
- Arabic
- Urdu
- Korean
- Russian
- Telugu
- Tagalog
- Bengali
- Hindi
- Gujarati
Many of our libraries serve linguistically diverse populations, but I know that Gujarati, Hindi, and Urdu would be adopted by several of them.

Allow for more information to be searched while using the Search Editions bar in the Resource pages
For materials that have a large number of editions, the search bar feature doesn't currently assist with narrowing down to a specific item. It will only search for Item Record Data. Being able to search for the Publication Date, Edition, and Publisher would assist those looking for a specific material.
