This would also be beneficial for 100 fields, where the MARC record (Polaris) includes subfields for author while the vendor does not.
We API ingest CloudLibrary records and would prefer not to download and edit MARC records to include in our ILS.

We don't have all of the Vega products, so I can't confirm availability for this feature on those products. It would be helpful to be consistent with features that we would use across all Vega products.
In the Vega Discover option, I can add the Showcase Block Title for hero showcases within the hero's settings.

Many of our staff frequently have multiple tabs open in a browser. At some point, the tab is truncated enough to only show the favicon.

In addition to the patron cards, we also use department/staff cards [based on position, not name] that we might need to reassign when someone 'accidentally' misplaces the library card. Since the showcases, lists and saved searches can't be transferred across accounts, we would need to recreate them.

Similar issue with some CloudLibrary records.
I know that the title and author must match (maybe other fields?) for proper rollup in Vega, though the specificity may be interfering with rollup.CloudLibrary uses the author's name only in most records, and we use the authority records which may include additional subfields, such as date, ‡c(Freelance journalist),‡eauthor.

This would be a very helpful feature. Screen space is at a premium, and some of our collection names can be long as we use the term Young Adult Fiction.
A related customization feature for call number/collection: Requesting the options to display the collection code and call number for the record (Always show, only when copies are available, never show, etc).
At this time, the listings with no copies available don't show the call number or collection in the at-a-glance.
"Find a Copy" only shows call number.
Clicking on location will show the item level collection.
Scenario: Our Book Club Kits (bags) are TOM as Kits (nearest available option for consistency across Polaris Leap, PowerPAC and Vega), along with many other records that are also Kits (thus not conducive to renaming in Vega). Without prominently displaying the collection, the Vega patron may misinterpret this listing if they don't click on a specific location.Jamie Naylor

We are also a Polaris library, and we would like the Non-Circulating checkmark to pass through to Vega.
Items where the Polaris Item Level Checkbox of Non-Circulating is set are considered non-circulating items.

Although our patrons have access to the Polaris PowerPAC and Vega Discover catalogs, offering the option to delete an item from their reading history directly in Vega Discover would provide a streamlined user experience for our Vega patrons.

We would like to login to Vega to access our stats. This is available through many of our vendors so we can directly access the information without waiting for a ticket response and to dig deeper for more information.

All of our library personnel have access to Simply Reports, but most only have access to the Excel 365 (online version), which has limited features.
Unfortunately, the Simply Reports Excel file does not open properly in the web version of Excel. The data splices across cells at the comma. Note that A1 includes all column headers in both images.
Unfortunately, Excel web version will open the Excel file, though the data splices oddly across cells, rendering it a cumbersome task to. Note that A1 (attached image) includes all column headers. The cells below it separate the data at the commas so the
cell A2 contains CollectionAbbr BrowseTitle CallNumber BrowseAuthor
ABIO Angela's ashes : a memoir MCCOURT M McCourt
FYI: The author's first name "Frank" appears in cell B2 along with the ItemBarcode ItemStatusDescr LastCircTransactionDate ISBN.
The other rows are separated by the comma, pushing the author date(s) into the C cell on its row.
Since the Excel web version doesn't offer an option to import/open the CSV or .txt file within the Data tab (tab showing in image), most of our staff would not be able to use Simply Reports' option for Text File > either the Comma & Quotes (CSV) or Tab (.txt file).
