Integrate Vega features into Innovative Mobile for ease of implementation
Vega (Homepage/LX/Promote/Promote Web) features such as showcase groups, carousels, and authors should be available to deploy within Innovative Mobile for ease of implementation across all products. We'd like to be able to deploy our librarian created showcases directly on the mobile app versus creating record sets of our existing showcases from Vega.

Can the app include the number of renewels a patron has available for each item.
We currently have this feature on our website, but the app doesn't replicate this important feature. This will let the patron know if they have used up all their renewels.

More accessibility to homepage when screen display/text is enlarged
For our elderly and vision-impaired folks - when the display/text on their phone is enlarged, the app display and functionality are very limited. The main problem is, that the menu (and other settings) is inaccessible, so they can't get logged in to the app.
I have attached a screenshot of how the app displays for some of our staff/patrons with vision impairment. If Menu could be added as a tab above Search so that they could log in, that would be ideal.

Lists and Linked Accounts should not be lost when barcode is replaced
Right now, if a patron replaces a lost library card, they lose their items in My Lists and any linkages with other accounts. Those items should be tied to the permanent ID of the patron record (patron ID in Polaris, not sure what it is in Sierra) so they are retained when the barcode is replaced. Even though they are not stored in the ILS patron record, PATRONS consider things like their lists and linked accounts to be part of their "library account" and are frustrated to lose that information for what feels like no reason to them.

Reading/Checkout History
I understood that on the app, it's all or nothing - either everyone sees their reading history or no one sees their reading history. Please enhance to allow people to opt in or out.

Show renewals in Mobile App
Show renewals remaining in the Mobile App. Patrons have been asking to see this functionality in the mobile app. This makes it easier for them when they are managing their checkouts. Thank you!

Add an in-app reader/player so patrons don't need to exit the app to enjoy econtent (books, movies, music, etc.)
It would be great if patrons could not only check out their econtent in the app, but could also read it, play it, view it, etc. in the app. If the app could have a built-in reader/player then patrons wouldn't have to have move around to different apps to use their material.

Translate Search Filter Dropdown Options in Innovative Mobile
Request: Could the filter options in Innovative Mobile, which are populated from Vega, include the other language translations which are included in Vega?
Description: When you search for an item in Innovative Mobile, the top filtering option for each field is set to the current language of the application, however the other options for each filter are not set to the current language of the application. From what I have been made aware of, these separate filtering options are populated from Vega, which includes other languages, however those separate language translations are not populated in Innovative Mobile. I have attached…

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.

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.

Support Dark Mode
Support dark mode --- currently, on iOS and Android devices, when Dark is selected, the hamburger menuing options display dark, but the main app still remains in Light mode.

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.15 votes -
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.

Holds and copy information
Put the number of copies and holds below the "Place Hold" button.

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.

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.

Reading History - Separate Menu Item in My Account Panel
RE: https://help.sol.us/app/patron-my-account-panel
Reading History (if enabled by library) should be its own menu option, vs. buried under Checkouts. If you have a lot of items currently checked out (and several managed/added accounts), you may not even realize Reading History is there.
While you could feasibly adjust AccountPanel_Loans string to say Checkouts & Reading History, it makes not sense if the patron hasn't opted in to it, and also does not remove the problem of having to scroll down through your checkouts to notice it.

Ability to add link to password/PIN reset on login screen
It would be nice if Mobile could allow linking to the library's Password/PIN reset page on the Mobile login screen.
