Would like to organize items in folders versus tags on the web
Sites who used to use Docutek miss the option of organizing items in folders. Tags don't seem to be as desirable.

Allow for sorting by Article Title instead of Journal Title in the web
Currently, Article Title is appended to the Journal Title field for displaying in the web, making it impossible to sort on instead of Journal Title.

Allow sorting of tags in something other than alphabetical
Several sites have requested this option but their examples are always Week 10 coming before Week 2 in the list. Are there other examples for needing to customize the order or is it only for the weeks?

This can be helpful for sites with more than one authentication method.

Add a status line to the Ares main menu to be able to display error messages
If a user is returned to the main menu because of an error, there is no way to explain why.

Add call number to fields on the web used for cloning
A site would like to add the call number field to the items tables on the web that are used for cloning/importing items into courses. The staff feel that the call number is an essential piece of info for faculty. We are not able to add this column in, or modify the tables at all, without breaking the functionality of the checkboxes.

Show which staff member added a user note
Have an "added by" field for user notes like there is for item notes.

Staff would like to have scanned items automatically moved to the web
Instead of having staff open the form in the staff client to process the items, they would like a utility to scan that folder and automatically move them.
This could be an issue if sites are scanning ILLiad and Ares items to the same folder.

Allow Ares to receive additional attributes, such as first name, last name, email, and department, from Shibboleth.
Allow for Ares to recognize additional user attributes in remote auth headers. User status (student, faculty) would also be helpful. The info would be used to populate the user record in Ares.

TemplateProcessor does not handle parameters that have a right angle bracket
The RegEx used assumes the first angle bracket is the end of the tag but it could be a bracket inside a tag parameter.
This was discovered internally and only affects the headers of certain tables if a site wanted to put a link in that text. We will enhance this eventually, but it's not really in the original scope of the tag options.

Option to rename and hide queue names for routing in staff client
Perhaps, an enhancement is what we need to remove:
Route to Acquisitions
Recall Item
Awaiting Acquisitions Notification
Awaiting File Type Resolution
Awaiting Recall Processing
Awaiting ILL Processing – unless it can be edited to show as “In ILL Processing”4 votes -

Group items by title for hard copies to shorten list for web users
On the course info page, if a title has multiple physical copies available on physical reserves, that list of the title is cumbersome. If they could automatically group by the title, and expand to show each ItemID, that would make the list easier to navigate.
Reordering of items that is possible by instructors would have to take this into account.

Enhance course cross-listing to include more course info and ExternalCourseIDs
Currently, course cross listing only shows a name and is accessible by students searching for that cross listed course number/name and finding it under the other name. It's not clear to the student that both courses are the same.

Option to double click on a item form tab to open it in a separate window
This probably only applies to addon tabs
