  1. It would be really helpful if Vega Program would alert a patron or guest when registering for an event that they have already registered for. A checking of information against the current bookings and waiting list.

    An alert such as on screen text or pop-up that says something along the lines of "You have already registered for # spaces at this event. (View <link>My Events</link>) Would you like to continue with your registration?" OR "You have already have # spaces on the waiting list. <View <link> My Events</link>) Would you like to continue with your registration?

  2. In addition to the age limits for Program Registration, it would be helpful to be able to limit by grade.
    While age is a useful limit for early learning programs, many school age programs are limited by grade range. The option to select limit by grade, and then define the grades that can register, would help libraries when determining who can register for a program. Currently, libraries have to determine the age for the program based on the school registration birthday cut off, and that may not accurately reflect who is eligible to register. This causes confusion and friction for…

  3. Send one or more staff email addresses a notification when specific equipment is booked for example, equipment in a Makerspace. Currently staff have to constantly check Program's equipment requests for bookings for their items .

  4. Previously, other events in matching categories displayed at the bottom of the individual event pages. If they were removed to reduce scrolling, the addition of a category button or something that takes up less room could help patrons find similar events. We find that the "Similarly Named Events" section doesn't accurately reflect related programs.

  5. It would be great if templates saved the bookings setting. Right now, all our templates default to "Bookings required" even if they were created or even updated to say "No bookings required." It's an extra step to remember to turn this setting off when using templates.

  6. Our Pop Up Library and our Bookmobile travel to events around the county. Events for those resources show a map based on the "event location" selected. That doesn't allow us to show a different map location for a community event though. We had an event and the map for the event shows a completely different library system. We tried to suppress the map by putting See location in the Event Description but that doesn't work. We need to be able to add an alternate map/address or be able to suppress the Google Map for individual events.

  7. Add an icon showing when a room is booked in addition to the colors. Maybe a circle with a slash through it.

  8. The green, highlighted date on the appointment-style calendar should be the date available for selection. Instead, it seems to indicate the day before the date of the event?

    Consecutive dates will have some green highlighted dates that are selectable and others that are not.

  11. There is an option in the search results to see Number of Views and "App views" of programs. Can this be expanded so that staff can get data on event registration via website vs Vega Mobile app?

  12. It would be really nice if Vega Program would prevent a patron from registering for multiple events occurring at the same time, since they cannot possibly attend more than one at a time. An alert - via email, text (when available), or pop-up that either 1) the registration cannot be completed because they are registered for another event or 2) offer to cancel their existing registration and complete the current one.

  13. It would be great if unpublished events were color coded differently when viewing the calendar on the staff side. Staff cannot tell unless clicking on an event that it is not actually happening. It would be great if they could see that at a glance.

  14. Currently in the list view of upcoming Events, you see "Fully Booked", but it is not clear whether the waiting list is still open. The user would need to select the event and scroll down to see "it's not currently possible to join the waiting list".
    To avoid extra clicks and scrolling, it would be good to add "Registration Closed" to the list view.

  15. On the Home screen, the Search Events function allows us to limit to a number of status options, but there is no option to search all status types.

    Having an "All" option which returns every status type would be beneficial to staff event tracking workflows by allowing them to run a single search for all status types rather than separate searches for "All Approved Events", "Pending Approval", "Cancelled" etc.

  16. We have had to add the "ages" (for teens, for seniors, etc.) to our categories.

    It would be ideal if ages were a separate dropdown that patrons could use in addition to categories and locations/libraries.

    This would make it easier for patrons to filter information more effectively.

  17. Libraries are interested in using equipment booking for their maker space as well as the equipment used in a room. Those are different staff members jobs. It would be great if the library can set the permission based on the category of the equipment.

  19. When you view location options in the Check Availability tab, you have the option to select whole locations (checking the location box, and all the rooms are selected from that location). In the Booking Search tab, all the rooms are just separate, and there's not a way to pick a location and have all the rooms selected at once. A minor concern, but if there's a way to make those dropdowns the same, that would be awesome.

  20. We need a way to block problem patrons from being able to reserve rooms. It can either be a blacklist where we add the patron barcode or have Vega Program look at the MBlock in Sierra or the Polaris equivalent and deny that way.
