SAML integration
Our institution currently uses both Sierra authentication and SAML-based Single Sign-On (SSO) for user authentication and access management. While Sierra authentication is supported within Vega, the platform does not currently support direct SAML integration.
To align with the institution's identity management standards and provide a seamless user experience, we request the addition of SAML SSO support in Vega. This enhancement would enable users to authenticate using the institution's existing SAML identity provider, reducing reliance on separate authentication mechanisms, simplifying user access, improving security, and ensuring consistency with other enterprise applications.
Business Justification
Provides a true Single Sign-On experience for users.…

Additional fields from Sierra Patron authentication records
Currently, the following fields are retrieved from Sierra patron records during user authentication:
Name
Email address
Card numberIt is required that the Faculty and Department fields also be retrieved and made available during the authentication process.
The inclusion of these additional data elements will enable more meaningful statistical reporting and analysis. For example, it will allow the institution to determine how many students from a specific faculty or department attended a particular event, workshop, or training session.
Furthermore, this enriched data can be exported to Excel and integrated with third-party analytics and reporting platforms such as EBSCO Panorama and…

Allow cancellation for sessions with shared registration
Currently, it is not possible to cancel individual session dates if the registration mode is set to "Patrons register once and attend all sessions (course/series)."
Even though we'd like patrons to sign up for an entire series at once, we still may need to cancel individual sessions dates without cancelling the entire series.

Allow the new category types (audience and format) to be selectable in the "Create a Brochure" feature.
Currently, the these category types are hidden from view entirely.

Create email templates to notify user they self cancelled an event or room booking and list them as cancelled in My Bookings
We have users that self cancel their event registrations and/or room reservations but there is no email message that follows up on the self cancellations. If they have used their library card for bookings and log into their My Bookings listing, none of the events they cancelled registration for or room bookings they have cancelled appear. These disappear without a trace for them with no record. It would be helpful if there was an email template to notify a user they cancelled their event booking and another email template to notify a user they cancelled their room booking.

Allow more HTML/Formatting options for event description
I would like to see more formatting and/or HTML options for event descriptions (including the already-not-implemented option of being able to add additionally images to the description). The ability to left align, use bulleted or numbered lists (that are left aligned, and not centered!), or even occasionally change the font color would be very helpful. The oversimplified nature of the event description box can be very limiting, and I would like to see more customization options so that libraries can provide the best information possible to their patrons.

ratings
It would be great if there was a way to allow patrons to submit a rating for a program or event that does not have registration. Perhaps a custom QR code that could be made available at the end of an event that patrons could scan in order to leave a review? Many events do not require registration and thus there's no way for patrons to leave feedback.

Add an event's custom questions to the waiting list
When patrons register for an event that is fully booked (thus putting them on the waiting list), they are not prompted with custom questions. Our library's questions for one program are extremely specific and important (a sewing club), so capturing that information from all participants is important—even potential participants. Right now, the library has to send a separate survey, which is suboptimal.

Display custom questions on search results
Under Booking Search, we'd like to see in "Search Results" the custom question and answers to it (so we know where to send equipment without clicking into the booking.)

Change Ongoing Event Display
We like having the ongoing events, but if we have several of them, it dominates the calendar display. Could we have an option to display ongoing events at the bottom of each day rather than at the top?

autofill phone numbers
When using a library barcode on the staff side, we'd appreciate it filling in the phone number from the customer's record in addition to other fields.

Customize public bookings color on calendar
It would be helpful to choose the color of public bookings on the staff-side room calendar. Our color branding is determined by the city, so we have to comply with the brand kit when selecting event category colors.
It would be great to not only be able to update that color to match our branding, but also to choose a color that better contrasts with the colors we'd like to use for our categories.
Blurred photo for patron privacy, but you can see with the blur that it's difficult to tell the difference in color between the public bookings and…

Editing Sessions with "magic wand"
When making an event with "sessions" there's a magic wand that can insert the dates - love it -- can this magic wand/list of sessions appear when going back in to edit?

Limit options for patron scheduling rooms
Our policy is that patrons may schedule a study room for 2-hours per day max. Currently there is no way to limit the number of room reservations a patron makes each day. We only have 3 rooms and are in high demand. To make it fair we limit to 2-hours, but if the room is not reserved we do allow staff to make extensions. We need Program to be flexible to limit study room reservations that differ from rooms used for library programs.

Option to indicate interest without registering
Programs like Facebook allow the user to indicate interest in an event without registering. Would be a nice feature to have in Program Registration. The library could gauge interest in a program that does not require registration for planning purposes. The patron could get the reminders about the event.

Add Check-In for Drop-In Programs
It would be extremely helpful if the check-in functionality could also be used for drop-in programs, not just registered events.
Many libraries offer a large number of drop-in programs where attendance is tracked manually. This would streamline attendance tracking, reduce staff workload, and improve the accuracy of participation statistics.

Waitlist Capacity Reached Notice for Staff
When staff are adding a customer to the waitlist, they do not know if the Waitlist Capacity has already been reached. Can you please add a warning/notice that staff have to acknowledge if they are adding a customer to a full waitlist?

Copy Booking function
We'd like to see a "Copy Booking" function that would allow us to create a new booking for a patron without having to start from scratch each time.

"and" boolean
Have the event category use an "and" boolean so we can check two boxes and only get results that apply to both categories. (Right now it's an "or" boolean, so we are getting everything for both.)
