Thanks for responding. I have been playing with Vega for some time and
like many of the features. Take a look at our Northport homepage. It has
been fun setting it up.</div>

As a Beta tester, please share the following concerns we have over the Vega interface.</div>

The location of the item is too small. It needs to be bigger and more obvious to patrons.</li><li style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:107%;margin:0in 0in 0in 0.5in">
The search all libraries icon is missing. You can click on the empty

days I believe.</li><li style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:107%;margin:0in 0in 0in 0.5in">
Showcases do not work on mobile correctly. If you open a showcase on the
desktop, it displays fine. If you open it on a phone, it displays
another library location as the prominent choice over your own.</li><li style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:107%;margin:0in 0in 0in 0.5in">
The literary form search does not work. You can limit to either fiction
or non-fiction, and you will still get fiction and non-fiction
together.

Subject searching should be added. I believe Vega is using Bibframe
instead of the MARC record for its data. I would love to see what it is
pulling from to better understand what Vega can and cannot do.</li></ol>

But the original question was about orders not showing up in Vega. I
still think this is a significant concern, pushes the problem onto the
staff, who will now have to explain, or find a significant, and probably
time consuming work around to fix the problem.
I think system needs to be a lot more vocal that this is something we
need in order to give the best patron service we can.</div>

I am curious why system is pushing this software if it is so half-baked.<br>
