Send Reminders to Enter Program Attendance
I know it's a long shot, but it would be incredibly helpful if there was a way to send a reminder email if program attendance hasn't been entered by a certain time period (i.e. a week after the program occurred), as staff often forget to enter attendance after events and we spend a lot of time trying to track down these errant stats.

"Log statistics" feature - Ability to add a title field and edit submitted entries
It's a great feature, but seems a little bare-bones at the moment? It would be fantastic to add a title field so that we know what program these additional attendance numbers are coming from, and also to be able to edit logged hours in case there's a mistake. Thank you!

Make an actual end time in the event entry area instead of hours/duration
Could you make it so you can put an end time in the end time field when you're entering an event? Or at least make more options than a four hour limit? Putting in custom minutes for events that are longer than that isn't very appealing. Thanks for considering!

Blacklist for Problem Patrons
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.

Create Visible (But Unbookable) Rooms
A member library wants to create rooms that are viewable by patrons, but which they cannot reserve.
Right now, the only way we can accomplish this is to remove all availability from a room. But that isn't ideal, not least because (a) it gives patrons no idea of when the room might be in use, as well as cluttering up the , and (b) if staff want to manually book it for patrons on the back-end, they must click through repeated warnings.
This appears to be included as part of another idea (https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951976-vega-program/suggestions/49834827-add-option-for-other-location-visibility-on-back-e), but not addressed there.

categories
When you click on the STATS page and you scroll down to see the branch stats, it would be nice to be able to click on each category and have it further break down to list each program you did in that category and the attendance there.
We are using private categories and cannot even see those categories on our excel report, so if we could click on a category from that view and have it open one level further to list our programs, it would also be a quick way to check and make sure a branch has all…2 votes -
Searchable, system-wide logging (emails)
Searchable, system-wide email logging (similar to what is available in LX Starter) so that we can see what emails were sent, received, and opened; as well as to see if patrons are on a do not send list after marking our emails as spam.
Currently, the only way to see if a patron has received emails is to find a specific program that they were in and check the email logs for that program.
If possible to expand this to all logging (which could be filtered) that would be a plus.

Limit Bookings Across Rooms Within a Time Period
Several libraries in our consortium have multiple study rooms. They want to limit patrons to a single 'study room' booking across all of their study rooms for a given time period (e.g. Jane Doe can only book a single study room each day, but the next day she can book a room again, etc.).
Currently, they can limit bookings for an individual room, but the patron can just sign up for another room later that day (and go through them all in turn). I guess staff can monitor and delete duplicate bookings, and dedicated patrons will undoubtedly find other workarounds.

Statistics on demographic data
The libraries in a cooperative would find it valuable to get demographic data on who is registering for events. If the person registering for a program is an existing library patron and Vega Program is connecting over to Polaris/Sierra to validate anyway, it ought to be possible to grab demographic data to report on.
It would also be helpful to get data on people who register for programs but don't have a library account. There could be an "opt-in" checkbox on the registration form to facilitate communicating through Vega Promote campaigns.1 vote -
Statistics on app vs. website registration
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?

Notification of registration
Expansion of the submitted idea: "Option for library staff to get email notification when patrons register for events"
Staff would like to be notified when patrons select the "Remind me" button and enter their email address for events that do NOT require registration. Even though the event doesn't require registration, it is helpful in planning to see how many people have expressed interest.

Use patron record number as the primary system ID rather than barcode
It appears the system might be using patron barcode as the primary ID for patron records rather than patron record number. This is problematic when a patron loses their barcode and it needs to be replaced or, as mentioned in another idea, the patron has multiple barcodes for some reason. This makes it difficult for a patron to keep track of their past programs, as well as their waitlists, which no longer function if their barcode changes. Would also probably require a way to merge records that exist with the same patron record number.

Include Cancellation as Action Item in Audit Logs
It seems like the "event_cancelled" action only appears in the audit log if there are people already booked into the program.
It is definitely useful for us to know the date, time, and staff member cancelling an event, even if there is no registration.
"Uncancelling" does appear in the audit log for an event without registration.

Add "Tomorrow" to Date Range drop down
Staff have expressed an interest in having "tomorrow" as an option since "today" and "yesterday" are already an option, instead of having to go to "custom range" since they are looking ahead only a day or two.

Hierarchy for Category Colors
We'd like to use the color coding options, but for events with multiple categories, the color that displays seems to be whichever is first alphabetically. It would be nice to choose which categories take priority or to have a default color and only display a different color for specific categories. It would be most useful for us to have ages as a separate identifier that could be color-coded and have priority.

Age Requirement for Adult Registration
Remove the requirement for an adult to put an age in the registration field. Possibly offer drop down of 18+

Events and Equipment
When we book a room, we can also book equipment.
When we create an event, we can book a room, but not reserve equipment, that has to be done separately. We have parent/child rooms. That means that if staff does not book chairs, they may end up with none. It will mean staff have to do twice as much work to make sure they have the equipment that they need.
Please tie in equipment bookings to the Events calendar, so staff can book everything at once.1 vote -
Bulk edit events
Libraries would like to have the capability to edit bulk events that are not part of a series. For example, if the Auditorium has an issue and is unavailable, move all the events to a different area.

Granular permissions for the Equipment booking
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.
