It would be even better if we could configure/enable the hero to rotate automatically/cycle through images (unless this violates accessibility guidelines).

Please note that an AUDIENCE Facet already exists in Vega and can be turned on in the staff admin.

Is the ability to filter results by genre (655$7) still under consideration? There was mention of age/audience, which is not the same. I was just asked about this.

Yes, while target audience is already included, we would also like to be able to have fiction vs. nonfiction, mystery, etc. Picture books specifically. For that, staff can do the age/target audience, but it's still too broad (we have ours at juvenile). Now they also have to use the location facet (shelf location) and search to limit choices for picture books (luckily that is part of the branch/shelf location name). Too many steps.

Do you not have the age facet enabled? Or am I missing something.
We do tag for genre, and have it indexed, but no one ever really used it except a few staff. The WMR showed minimal usage in our classic WebPAC.

I think I would prefer that being optional. My fear is someone accidentally overwriting my list in the ILS, even if I "own" it (other "owners" seem to be able to overwrite in Sierra, even if using a different login). I'd rather just go in and resync when I update the list in Sierra. Of course, I am putting in regular tickets about my sync failing on existing lists (when previously working). I also wish the ILS list was sorted the same as the review file (different idea about that), as it doesn't seem to follow any sort of sorting rule.

It would also be helpful that the timestamp was consistently applied. When viewing the holds queue for a title, you only see the timestamp in the "Not After" column if the patron placed the hold (Discover, mobile app, etc.). If staff places the hold, no timestamp. Usually when I want to see if there is an issue with how staff may be placing a hold (esp. for item-level holds, which we try and avoid), that's when the timestamp is helpful. Much more so than when the patron placed the hold.

I was just trying to figure out how an item-level hold got placed at a location that doesn't allow holds, to confirm whether it was indeed the LRD table that was wrong. There's always the question if the hold was placed by staff in SDA or some other way (website, etc.). I remember asking about this before, and see that I already put in the idea. Hope it makes it at some point!

Per Barbara Leach, the hold-removed table records the following, so would need similar columns to the hold table...
removed_gmt
removed_by_user
removed_by_process
removed_by_programAlison Pruntel

I just received a suggestion/comment card from a patron about Vega Mobile (not Vega in general) - "App suggestion; make a feature to see only physical books/media checked out and not all digital ones mixed in." Of course, ideally you'd be able to sort, because some people do want to see a mix or only digital. I thought this was something that was going to show up or was already available in the Vega bookshelf/account portal, too (I went to see if this was an option at least when viewing in Vega via a mobile browser), but it's not an option yet.

If you're using Repeated Bills (https://documentation.iii.com/sierrahelp/Default.htm#sril/sril_notices_bills.html), it's impossible to tell, within the Notices function, what bill sequence is being sent...is it bill #2? bill #3, etc.? Ideally there would be a column in the Table of Prepared Notices (https://documentation.iii.com/sierrahelp/Default.htm#sgcir/sgcir_notices_prepare.html) that noted what number of bill it was in the sequence. So in our case, we send a bill at 30 days, a repeat at 40 and a final repeat at 50. So we'd see either a 1, 2 or 3 in this column.

This would be very helpful. We are going to test out the new feature for assigning penalty points for patrons with unclaimed holds, and it came up (again) as to why can't we just send a notice that your holds is about to expire, just like we do the 3-day and 1-day courtesy notices.
Most patrons are good about picking up their holds, but there are days when we pull 25 items off the hold shelf, and some patrons just put the items right back on hold. You can see that the patron in the attached screenshot had holds that expired twice before she finally picked them up. That ties up the item(s) for almost two weeks without them being checked out.

I like this idea, but we do get complaints that we send out too many notices and none of them are opt in/opt out (ideally opt OUT). If we could somehow allow an opt-OUT for specific notices (not all of them...for example bills), that would help us accommodate those who complain about having no control over their notices (aside from opting out of them all completely by having a notice preference of print or phone).
Also, this might address an issue we've seen where some of our LX notices "fail to send" (with no explanation), including hold pickup notices. We just had a patron come in and complain because she never got the hold pickup (checked LX and it had failed), but did get her hold cancellation notice after her hold expired.
Forgot I asked for this feature (just submitted a ticket to see if I could somehow configure to add Series Title as a column). The way it works now, DC isn't of much use to our staff for fiction - general or mystery, etc. - due to lack of series title/data showing. They have to use Create Lists and export for this information.
