  1. When a patron submits a room reservation, send an email to the address in the Email Room Person Email Field notifying staff that there is a pending room booking. We could then use the branch manager or staff distribution group email in the Room Person Email Field.

  2. Add functionality for creating programs that run in perpetuity?   e.g., "Thursdays at noon", but no starting/ending date.

  3. Give libraries the option to set a default date range for brochure event generation. We typically have 3 months worth of events in the system at any given time. Patrons may not reprint the brochure and miss out on any new of updated items.

  4. In the brochure, the "Get In Touch" section always displays the main library name and phone number. If you choose just one library location and generate the events for that location, it still gives you the general phone number. It would be great to show the phone number of the branch/branches that were filtered.

  5. Add flyer download button on the public side of the event listing in case a patron would like to download one to display rather than going to the library to pick one up.

  6. Staff entering multiple room bookings are required to answer custom questions for each submission. If there was a way to turn off the custom questions somehow on the staff side to make inputing multiple bookings quicker and easier for staff.

  7. If a room has a 24 hr booking lead time, block out or grey out the room availability on the public calendar. Right now, patrons aren't notified there is a 24 hour minimum for booking a room until they have answered all the questions to book the room and press submit. This would visually show the room is not able to be booked.

  8. It would be nice to have some type of custom question branching logic. One example would be a custom question like " Will you be serving refreshments? Yes/No" and if they select yes, display a second custom question like "What type of refreshments?"

  9. Implement a test checkbox which prevents that event's data from being used on the stats pages. For use when testing events and logging stats and you don't want those test stats to be included in your real stats as it will skew the data.

  10. Information entered in the Booking Note & Staff Name field on the add booking screen only shows if you hover over the icon in the current bookings. It would be useful if that information also showed up on the exportable spreadsheet.

  11. If the series name field were an admin controlled dropdown list, staff could consistently select/name events as appropriate. No added keystroking and risk for creating incorrect series names. If it could be a multi-select dropdown list, it would also allow us to make an event part of more than one series when needed. Not sure how this would be handled on the public view. Maybe a quick display of matching series names with say 5 to 10 events for each series, allow the user to explore more in that series?

  12. When someone applies for a library card, the ILS provides patrons a temporary library card number beginning with "PACREG." When a patron uses this temporary number to reserve a meeting room, there is no way for staff to update the library card number attached to a reservation. It is a read only field (which is opposite in event registrations.) The ILS communication is one way, pulling name data into VP. Is it possible for the library card numbers to somehow automatically update when a permanent card number is assigned? If not, is it possible to make this field editable for…

  13. Staff would like to be able to have a URL available to them where variables can be altered so events and meeting room reservations can be imported into Google Calendar. It would also aid in the use of digital reservation panels outside meeting rooms which rely on Google Calendar to display a daily list of upcoming events and reservations.

  14. Right now the location that displays first on the landing page is the one that is first in alphabetical order. For us this is a partner location that we only occasionally host events with. We would like to be able to wait the list to have our library location display first.

  15. Our library policy states that serial no-shows may have their reservation privileges revoked. We would like an automated system to notify our staff to track repeat offenders. For example, after three no-show cancellations (as per the Openpath Integration that cancels room bookings if the room is not accessed within 15 minutes), a notification would be sent to our service desk to flag the patron. This would result in staff manually assigning a new patron code that blocks them from making further automated room bookings.

  16. Automatically cancel study room bookings if the room isn't accessed within the first 15 minutes of the scheduled time. If the system detects that the door wasn't unlocked (via PIN or NFC) within this window, the reservation would be canceled, freeing up the room for others to book.

  17. This workflow is exclusively for electronic locks integrated with the Vega Program. While standard study room bookings remain unaffected, for conference room reservations, we propose delaying PIN generation until after staff has confirmed the booking. All conference room requests must undergo staff review and approval, ensuring that a PIN is not immediately issued to the patron or group requesting the space.

  18. Have an event 'RECUR AT interval' across multiple days, all day, during hours of operation. Currently, when scheduling an event to RECUR AT interval you cannot choose a)multiple times, or b) a beginning and ending time when the hours of operation do not match.

    For example - we want to hold a 3 day event at a location where the hours of operation are:
    Day 1 - 9am - 6pm
    Day 2 - 1pm - 6pm
    Day 3 - 9am - 1pm

    Ideally an option to select RECUR AT interval, start time Location Open, end time Location Close. Without having…

  19. We use the "booking type" field for different organization types (local, non-profit) and rates. Organizations or individuals sometimes misreport their booking type and we must reject and re-enter their room booking instead of just changing the booking type.

  20. 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…
