I have several evergreen saved searches and showcases that I would like to organize into their own folders.

Although the titles in the showcase update across the main Vega site and kiosks, the settings must be updated separately. E.g., updating the year, or correcting a typo. I can see the benefit of keeping them separate settings (like the new youth books on the main page having a different look and feel than the youth kiosk), but an option to update across all kiosks would be nice.

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).

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.

MEEP 2025 Winner
Will create a Graphic Novel Work Type. Polaris is working on an enhancement for TOMs so that Polaris libraries can have a Graphic Novel format display on tabs in Vega.

When setting up closure dates, it would be helpful to offer an option to setup a systemwide closure date (may be adjusted for each location).
As a single library system, we only occasionally close an individual location; most closures would apply to all locations.
Some closures may be need to be adjusted, such as a systemwide closure for a hurricane and turn off each location's closure as we reopen the buildings.
