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.

Event Feedback From Guests
We have many guests who attend our programs, but they are unable to receive an email the following day to give their feedback when the event has concluded. Currently, only registered members with a card receive this option.

Announcement Header
Can we get an announcement header like Vega Discover has for Program? It would be useful if patrons can see our holiday closing message or emergency announcements if they are in Program.

Allow a start and end date range for Room Block Outs
Allow staff to Block out a room for more than 1 day per instance. It would be better if we were able to block out a room for a range of time. Say for example, one of our branches will be undergoing renovations effective June 1 for about 6 months. Some type of bulk block outs would be easier to set.

Offsite Event Location Handling
We have library events off site within the communities we serve but how do we add those events to the event calendar? If I set up a location, it requires an address. I could set up an individual option for the offsite location. Maybe if there was an option to select offsite location instead of a library building in the Event Location dropdown?
7 votesThe best practice scenario for setting up offsite locations would be:
1. Create a location named Offsite
2. For each location, you can set up a room.So if the visit the Fire station or the Local Park every 2 weeks then you would set up a room called 'Fire Station' at the location 'Outreach'.
These 'rooms' can be set up as a template - set one up and then you can reuse it.
Note that the Google link to the location doesn't work when using rooms, the workaround is to post the Google link to that particular location in the event description. -
tomorrow on statistics report
We LOVE the enhancements to statistics. On the emailed report, could "tomorrow" be an option? We print and prep the rooms and equipment report at close for the crew that opens.

Booking Closing Options for Events Created Using "Add a new session"
We have been adding dates in an event series using the "add a new session" option (rather than using the "interval" tool). We have also set it up so that the person is expected to attend all the sessions and will only need to register once. We have noticed that, after a event series has begun, participants are not able to join the series from the waitlist if a spot opens up.
We would like the same options for when the booking closes to be available when we add multiple events in a series using the "add a new session"…

Pending Requests Block Staff
Pending requests to use rooms or equipment should block staff (or prompt them with an override) when editing existing bookings to times which would conflict.
Use case: we had a pending request for our playroom for later in the day that staff hadn't yet approved for use because admin staff were in meetings. When a no-show called during the meeting to rebook for later, the staff member didn't know a booking was pending because the system doesn't hold the room, so they rebooked over the pending request. Our pending request had to be denied for lack of availability, instead of…

Image Library
In the program/event software we are migrating from, we have a shared image library where all programming staff can access the images we use to promote events. They only have to click them to add them to their events. The image library is managed by an admin level user, but open to any staff for viewing/using. It would be great to have a feature like that available again.
2 votesOur best practice for centrally controlled images is to create a template where you can also include your preferred event title and description. That makes it easy for staff to use the template and quickly update the date and location.

Room Availability View Prior to Creating an Event
We need to be able to see room availability throughout a building prior to creating an event. As of now, you have to create all the event details and are only told when you go to publish that a room isn't available. Also, if you save your event as a draft, it doesn't actually book the room. This is very problematic.
2 votesHi Julianne,
If you need to check availability more broadly, staff can use the calendar view. There is a toggle on the right to see the calendar in month or week view.
- Room Calendar
- Filter by Location
- Filter by Display (All, Reserved Events, Public Bookings)
- Filter by Status
You should also see an option for staff to override the message that a room isn't available according to the open hours or it has already been booked.

Block room reservations too far in advance and same day reservations automatically
We would like to prevent patrons from booking a room more than a year in advance automatically to save on staff time. Similarly, we would like to prevent same day reservations of our meeting room which we require more advanced notice for larger groups. A way to set those up per room would be wonderful.

Partner Image file name shown during editing
When you go to edit an event/program entry the name of the partner image no longer shows. Instead the text displayed in the box says "No File Chosen." The image is still attached if you see the image icon, but the wording implies it is not there causing confusion. If the name of the file would still show up when you are editing an event, that would be helpful.

equipment listing top
The EQUIPMENT BOOKINGS option in the public view is listed at the bottom of the webpage. In comparison, a ROOM BOOKINGS option is listed at both the top and the bottom ofthe public view webpage.
Having the EQUIPMENT BOOKINGS option at both the top and bottom of the webpage would give it more accessiblity (the user doesn't have to work harder when looking for it and doesn't have to scroll down to the bottom of the page to use the feature).1 voteThe navigation is customizable.

add group name
Please consider adding a group name on Room Reservations that is visible on the calendar. We frequently have attendees who only know the group name and it would be a big help.

room overview image
Allow us to change banner images for meeting room booking confirmation emails (I'd like to use our logo), Room Overview banners, etc.
1 voteHi Emily,
You can update your email images from the Email Template page.
You can send a replacement default image for your event pages by opening a support ticket. Please note that each library has a single default event image.

Embed Filters Into URL In Patron Event View
We just started using Vega Program and we are part of a consortium. Our previous software would embed the filters that were applied to the URL, which we could then use and post a link from our website to. We have over 20 libraries in the consortium, so we would filter it to our two libraries serving our community and for the current month then place that link on our website and PAC, but we could also filter it by Event Type and it would embed that filter into the URL as well.
If there is another way to get…
1 voteHi Kevin,
I'm happy to report that this is already supported! Here's how you configure your links:
From the landing page, click on the search icon to open the Advanced search page. From here, you can apply the location and categories that you want for your URL link.
For example:
https://iiiproduct.events.mylibrary.digital/search?c=13,2,7&l=1,82
- Locations: Maple Grove Library and Whispering Pines
- Categories: Adult, Cooking and Crafts, and Kids
To create a URL that displays the list view of the homepage: https://iiiproduct.events.mylibrary.digital?&locations=1,82&categories=13,2,7
To create a URL that displays the calendar view of the homepage:
https://iiiproduct.events.mylibrary.digital?view=calendar&locations=1,82&categories=13,2,7
Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions,
