Allow multiple rooms/buildings across program sessions
We frequently have programs with multiple sessions that fall into one of two categories: repeated programs happening in different buildings, or multi-session programs that need to be done in different rooms across sessions.
It would be helpful if Vega Program could default each new session to the same room as the first existing session, but allow staff to change the room (or building) for each session.
Currently, we must either split up these sessions (different buildings, same program) causing patrons to get confused and register twice for what is essentially the same program, or we have to put a generic…

Email contact person when event registration is full
We have staff that would like to be alerted when an event has no registration spots remaining–event is full. It allows staff to determine if additional spots can be added, sometimes by a change of location or meeting space. An email alert to the event contact would be a great heads up without staff having to self monitor the registration list. (Especially with decentralized programming efforts (virtual and in-person) occurring for numerous programs a month.

Brochure Picture Placement
When creating a brochure it looks like a photo from one of the programs populates into the brochure, but the placement is all over the place meaning it is not consistent from page to page or each time you create a brochure. One time it may be with one of the programs on the left column and others it will be in the center.
We'd like to customize which images appear or choose to remove all the images.

Allow for alternate registration limitation in Vega Program
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…12 votesAs a workaround, you can create a custom question template to collect the grades of attendees or confirm they are in a specific grade.

brochure
It would be clearer if each event on the brochure listed the date above it. As it is, if two events are happening on the same date, the second event is printed without the dateline above. This looks like an omission and is very confusing, especially when the two events are in different columns. The second event is also spaced quite a bit below the other event and they do not appear grouped together. I don't think patrons will understand.

More granularity to add fields in events creation
It would be great to have the ability to add fields to the event create page without the need to add a custom question. For example, automatically having a field for phone number in the registration form for an event would be great.

Making changes to a program series in the approval stage
Sometimes when we're reviewing a program series in the approval stage, we realize that we need to make changes to the dates, such as shifting everything over by a week. It would be great to be able to make changes to the entire series recurrence in the approval stage, rather than deleting it and starting over.

UI Text Changes Should be Applied to All Instances
I found another area where bookings is used rather than registration (see below). I have already changed the UI language options I have control over to registration, register, etc from bookings. I am not sure where this is pulling from, but we do not use the word bookings.

Standardize the Display of Dates
Standardize the display of dates. There are inconsistent date formats throughout. Our preferred format is Day, Month ##, Year (e.g. Monday, July 10, 2023) or Day, Month ## (e.g. Monday, July 10)

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.

Event Approval Problem
Our workflow is this: librarians create events. Managers approve events. Admins publish the events. The problem lies in the approval process: Everything that's approved/ready to post goes to one big list. We host hundreds of events, so if we could filter by manager or building, that would be a huge enhancement. Another shortcoming is that the Admins have no way of knowing if the managers have approved their events. A three-step process for (1) creating; (2) approving (with a checkmark or something); and (3) publishing events would also be an enormous improvement.

Option for library staff to get email notification when patrons register for events
Some of our staff prefer to be emailed every time someone registers for an event (vs. having to login to Vega, search the event name, and then check the registration list). We'd like to see this as an option to select on a per-event basis, based on staff preference for this. We find it a bit odd to get an email reminding us of the event (as the contact listed in the event creation form, but not have the option to be notified of registrations).

Add a Created By Field when Creating an Event
Frequently, there is a difference between the person who actually creates the event in Program and the Contact Person's email address which is a required field. The contact person might not even be associated with the library at all.
It would be ever so helpful if a new created by field and the contact person's email address were a field that could have a free edit and a dropdown of all the staff account email addresses.
Also, staff does not need a reminder about their event, since they are scheduled to do it as part of their workday. It would…

Add a Way to Turn Off or Hide the Cost Field
We don't charge for events and the UX doesn't apply to all places cost is used. Could another UI Text field be added or add a global setting to hide all mentions of cose?

Accessibility Enhancement: Greater Control over Colour Contrast
We’ve received direct feedback from patrons regarding insufficient colour contrast for descriptive text in Vega Program, specifically where light grey text appears on a light grey background. Patrons have indicated that this combination is difficult to read and does not meet their accessibility needs. This contrast issue creates barriers for users with low vision, colour vision deficiencies, or other visual accessibility requirements.
It would be ideal to have greater customization and control over colour contrast for event description and copy to better support patrons who require higher contrast for reading.

"alt text"
An alt text field is needed for images uploaded to events in Program. With the new ADA accessibility rules taking effect in April, this is a vital aspect; without it, libraries simply can't use images or else they'll be out of compliance with the law.

Time in Room Calendars Should Reflect Set up and Clean Up Times
Currently, only the event time is shown in the room calendar. The set up and clean up times are not listed. We have had events, for example, that start at 5pm and end at 7pm, but that room is not available from 10am - 5pm due to setting up for a program. Staff cannot see that the room is not available until after they try to book it for their program or event. It would be helpful to have an event time as well as the set up and tear down listed in the room calendar separately. It would save…
