Discover Release Notes February 2023

Release Date: February 1, 2023

Custom Header Fixed Header Toggle

For Discover Premium and Consortia libraries that customize their Vega Header, a toggle is now available that allows you to disable the fixed header so that headers with larger announcements or other data will not occupy the screen when a patron is browsing the catalog.

Normalized eContent Logos

Our default eContent vendor logos have been normalized in size to support consistency in display when using defaults or custom logos.

Bug Fixes

Third Party Configurations for non eContent not deletable

In preparation for eContent Management features we disabled the delete option for econtent subscriptions. This unintentionally affected other third party connections such as Syndetics and Fine Payment. This has been corrected and non eContent connections can now be updated. Delete for eContent connections will be restored soon, reach out to support for help if you need to delete an eContent connection in the meantime.

Release Date: February 15, 2023

Increased Patron Lists Limit

All patron and staff patron lists limits have been increased to 400 lists. (Previous limits were 50 lists for patrons and 200 lists for staff patrons.)

Patron Lists Migration Available

We have completed some required updates to our patron lists migration script and are now able to begin migrating patron lists from your previous catalog/discovery system into Vega Discover. For libraries that are already live with Vega Discover reach out to Support to begin the process. For libraries in implementations or development partner libraries that are not yet live with Vega Discover work with your implementation manager or product management contact to schedule your patron list import. Note that patron lists should be imported to Vega once at the point when patrons will begin using lists only in Vega and that there is no synchronization between PAC/WebPAC/Encore to Vega Bookmark Lists after the migration.

Bug Fixes

Fix for Display of Works with Long Item Call Number Strings

A fix was made to correct an issue where works that had items containing lengthy call number strings were not properly displaying the Locations, Location Drawer details, or editions item details was fixed. All data now displays as expected.

Fix for Consortia Collection Site Search Filters

A fix was made to correct an issue where Collection Sites were including facet counts related to other site's materials that were scoped for econtent or locations. Collection Site facets should now reflect the correct counts for that site.

VPAT Accessibility Updates

Several fixes were released today to correct accessibility issues related to alternative text and focus requirements
