Sierra: Cancel holds that have already been filled in Mobile App
We've had many patrons request the ability to cancel a hold that is already "held" (i.e., has a "held" status). This can be done through our website and it would be really helpful to extend that functionality to the app.

Ability to tell the difference between registered users for Ad-Hoc notifications vs. Account Notifications
In the CMS libraries can't see which users have registered for notifications. Which means that they have to go to support to get this information. Additionally, the list doesn't provide information differentiating which users have enabled Ad Hoc notifications vs. Account Notifications.

In a Consortium Environment, Have Home Library Float to the Top of Availability in Catalog Item Page
With over 70 libraries connected to the app in our consortium, it can get tedious to have to click "more" to find the user's home library for each catalog item. Ideally, if a material is available at the home library it should be displayed first.
Using the "Limit to" search option does not help in this case, as search results still include materials that are not currently available for checkout but are owned by that "limit to" library.14 votes -

Shelf Location and Collection
We've noticed that the shelf location and collection of items does not appear in the app, just branch and call number. Is there a way to add these? It will help patrons find items, especially in our largest branch.

Self Check Receipts should disappear off the account over time
The Innovative Mobile app currently holds onto all successful and unsuccessful self checkout attempts as "receipts". The receipts are in the My Account area and can very much add up to being a lot of entries over time. It would be less cluttered and better if the self checkout receipts retained were only kept for 7-14 days and then disappeared off of the account. Ideally, a patron could also delete unsuccessful self checkout attempts off the account right away.

Add a "Share" Button for Individual Material
A way to improve Innovative Mobile would be the addition of a "Share" button attached to individual material. This would allow patrons to share content they find in the application among each other. This type of enhancement would be incredibly helpful to multiple groups of patrons, such as book clubs, learning groups and patron to patron engagement. This enhancement could help increase patron application usage as well.
An example of this button from fontawesome is the share-from-square icon: https://fontawesome.com/icons/share-from-square?f=classic&s=solid
If the share button copied a link to the clipboard of the device that clicked the button, with the link leading…

Scan Book - no results - return page
If we scan an ISBN, and it's not found, the app should return users to the Scan Book landing page. It currently returns users to the main landing page.

List the eMaterial Vendor in the Search Result Format List
Some materials may have multiple vendor copies of eBooks, eAudiobooks, etc. It would be useful for the patrons to be able to see which vendor they're tapping onto while searching without having to utilize the "search in" option. Currently, patrons would have to open the Catalog Item page and locate the vendor information.

Display suspend date in holds list
Patrons should be able to see the hold suspension end date in their holds list. Currently if you select a suspend hold date in the app, there is no way to see that date once you submit. It just says inactive and queue position 0. If patrons can't remember when they requested the item to be placed back on hold, they have to resume the hold and then suspend it again.

Make All "On Order" Items Holdable
We recently discovered that some of our bib records with only order records attached are not eligible to be placed on hold through the Innovative Mobile app. I was told by Innovative that this is because the Sierra API is only able to see order records that are specifically in the "o - On Order" status. We use a few different order record statuses as part of our normal workflows (e.g. "a - Fully Paid"), but we still want patrons to be able to place holds on these items using the mobile app, regardless of order record status.

Pickup location should default to "Select a library" not the first library in the list
This is the same as a current improvement idea for Vega Discover (https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951766-vega-discover/suggestions/48885347-discover-pickup-location-should-default-to-select).
One of our libraries is temporarily closed and the app is defaulting to the first library in the list as a pickup location. Unfortunately, patrons don't notice and continue to place holds for pickup at a library that is nowhere near them.
We have to monitor the Manage Holds function on a daily basis to identify these holds and modify them before they go into transit.

Customize Fonts & Typeface
It would be great if we could customize font and typeface (bold headings or increase text size, for example) for items in the app. Some of the text is quite light/thin, and it would be ideal to enhance for better contrast.

Host Innovative Mobile App on Amazon AppStore
Host Innovative Mobile App on Amazon AppStore as well as Google Play and Apple Store. Patrons often have Amazon Kindles for e-reading so it makes sense for them to use our library apps on them as well.

Vega Mobile Usage Statistics - Export to CSV
In Vega Mobile admin, we pull usage statistics [Mobile App > View Activity]. The results are given in tables displayed on the screen (see image).
Request: Can these be formatted so that we can Export the data into a CSV or Excel file?
Right now, I have to copy/paste as text the various tables, then pop them into Excel, where I like to have a month-to-month comparison setup. This is extra work.

ability for libraries to change "concept" to "subject"
Hi,
Many libraries have changed the term "concept" to "subject" in Vega Discover.
Please enable the ability for libraries to batch change "concept" to "subject" in Vega Mobile.(The term "concept" appears as a facet in mobile app).
Thanks,

Ability to sort searches by availability
Add the ability to sort catalog search results by availability or "available now". This is a function currently in the PAC and customers expect to see the same behavior in the the Mobile App. This will also make it easier for customers to tell if they can pick up a book the same day.
