Background – For Polaris, a patron’s registered branch is based on library service area and is set in their patron account. The Polaris ILS links this registered location to system configurations that control what the patron can edit on their account. One library might allow changing their email address directly while another might require the change request to be submitted for library review. The Polaris PAC supports switching between different branches however the ability to change patron settings is tied to their branch regardless of which branch they are viewing. The consortia maintains a best practices for members by which the registered branch is updated on a regular basis.
For Vega consortia, that could mean a patron accessing their patron account from a variety of collection sites depending on my interests and how I was guided to the collection site url.
Vega currently supports one configuration for all libraries. What is desired is a mechanism by which Vega sees the ILS registered branch and offers the Polaris ILS options for that branch. Not a global setting nor a collection site since a patron might be accessing Vega from a different perspective than their registered library.

In addition, Polaris consortia may have different configurations at the library or branch level that are not honored by all libraries. One library might allow PAC editing and another might require the change to be mediated by the library. Thus not only should these features be set at the collection site level, but need to honor the Polaris PAC settings as well.
In addition, the subfield b needs to display. Sandy"s screenshot shows subfield b content that would be beneficial to users especially from print material.
