Allow ItemInfo fields to work on webpages with CustomDropDown
Allow CustomDropDown and the optional ItemInfo fields, 1-5, to work on webpages so we can have custom requirements.

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.

Ability to submit copyright orders in bulk for multiple sections
If each section has the same article, it would be good to submit it as a bulk request for all the sections at once versus each one individually.

Convert Ares to use UTC time
This would allow the times to display correctly for each site's time zone regardless of where the SQL server is hosted.

Support for addons within the Ares item forms
This came up because sites want certain fields like ItemInfo2 to be a dropdown. If they make a whole new addon form/tab it's not easy to see, but we think they could have a section of the request form.

Create a secure file upload method for client (using web platform)
Currently the client uses FTP and it should use another method to increase the security and not rely on FTP protocols.

Change item deletion process to be safer and allow some form of undelete/recovery.
If a staff user deletes an item, it would be good to have that delete "delayed" until the end of the day in case it needs to be recovered immediately.

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.

Allow LTI to create course in Ares if a student clicks on it first
LTI will create the course if an instructor clicks on the link but if a student clicks on the link it says "course not available - contact your instructor"

Option to rename and hide queue names for routing in staff client

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.

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.

Report showing which staff have processed which items
Check the tracking to see which staff usernames touched it. Do they need to know how long that staff person took?
