Yes, please! The email already looks very spam-y. I am confident we will have a lot of patrons who don't complete the reset process because the design and wording of this page do not look familiar to them and they will think the site is not legitimate.

We have traditionally allowed patrons to switch between email, phone, and text message for notifications. Unless we have the ability to remove "no preference selected," we will likely have to turn this feature off. Patrons don't understand what that option really means and then get upset about not being notified about their holds. It creates a lot of frustration for patrons and stress for staff. However, that will almost certainly be the case for turning off the ability to change notification options between email/text/phone.
If for some reason it's not feasible to do this, "no preference selected" should at least be relabeled something descriptive like "turn off all notifications" so that patrons understand the option they are choosing.

The existing setup is frankly embarrassing! It looks like the kind of thing a first-year computer science student codes when building a UI. In a lot of enhancement requests, there is a case for the system being set up as it is because it's superior in some contexts, but not ONCE has a patron wanted to review serials holdings in this order:

This would be really helpful! We are new Vega customers and we made heavy use of format-based carousels in the old Polaris PAC because they were popular with patrons. Not being able to do something analogous with showcases in Vega is a significant limitation to how useful they are.

Adding another vote to this. We already have issues with patrons marking notifications specific to their account as spam. This will be even worse, especially for libraries with custom domains so the patrons have never even seen the "iiivega" URL in the catalog.

Do you know if this needs to be on a specific type of resource page to happen? Or if there are other special circumstances? We are new Vega customers and when I saw this request I tried to trigger this problem to take a screenshot, because I know it will frustrate our patrons and staff as well, but I couldn't get it to happen. I mainly tried Author resource pages in Chrome.

Yes, please! The patrons who are returning Lost items are typically the same patrons who are anxious to have their those items checked in immediately in order to resolve the blocks on their account so they can check out new materials.
In addition, having ANY exceptions to what can be handled by SIP check in/smart returns undermines any marketing message of "items will be removed from your account as soon as you put them through this slot." Libraries either have to add caveats to their advertising, which muddies the waters for patrons, or deal with patron frustration when "You said this would get checked in right away!" but it didn't.

We'd really like to see item history entries added when no circ status change is made. This helps us find the true 'last touch' on an item and thus find things that are missing, or identify what staff member is making a pattern of errors. I know that would greatly increase the length of Leap item histories, but that could be addressed by customers choosing a shorter time period to display.

I agree that this would be a great settings change. There is no point in 'bookmarking' for a single session, it just sets patrons up for frustration.
