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 a URL that filters all events by location, current month, type, etc. I'm all ears. The only way I see of getting a URL is for a single event or series.

Hi 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,
