Add Appointment Info to Signed-in User details
It would be helpful if the signed-in users panel displayed the current time duration for a user's appointment so that staff would be easily reminded of each user's time limit

Allow multiple attachments on request record (like on user record)
Having the ability to upload multiple attachments per transaction would be nice. We don't use attachments specifically because we can't upload multiple items.

Allow web alerts to be reordered after posting
When a web alert is posted, it automatically shows in the web. When a subsequent alert is posted, it automatically appears below the first posted alert. There is no way to reorder Alerts once posted to show any that are the most important at the top.
Ex: a site could have several alerts posted about hours, requesting, and an exhibit. Then they need to post an alert about a closure. This alert is the most important, but in order for it to appear at the top of the list, all other current alerts have to be set to expire so…

Staff would like the option to copy and paste an entire grid from the staff client.
Staff have been missing this functionality since it was removed in Aeon 3.8 and would like to have it back.

Ability to edit default batch process options
We'd love to be able to edit the starting status and end status of the default batch process options (Check Out, Place on Hold, Reshelve Item, Item Reshelved, Item Delivered.) The default batch process rules don't recognize any custom queues, so whenever we process requests with a custom status it triggers a pop-up warning that the status is non-standard. Having to click through the pop-up each time really slows down our workflows.

Restore "bright yellow" highlighting for modified but unsaved field values
Restore "bright yellow" highlighting for modified but unsaved field values or provide options for skin color palette customization. Previous default highlight color (#FEFD35) was well-liked by staff and none of the current skins offer a comparable attention-grabbing option.

Custom Searches saved to Quick Access Toolbar should remain after search is closed
Custom searches added to the quick access toolbar disappear once the search tab is closed. It would be nice if they persisted so staff could perform routine daily searches from the toolbar without having to reopen the search tab everytime.

Mark staff as inactive in staff manager
It would be nice to have the ability to mark staff as Inactive in the staff client. Our staff list is starting to grow as people rotate through, especially students and project archivists. Marking staff inactive would allow us to filter the list, and also it could be a convenient way to prevent disable inactive accounts from logging in.

Specify a hold location in its own field for each item
Sites could benefit from a "hold location" field in the Transactions table for each item. When the item is placed on the hold shelf, staff can designate that location (similar to choosing a table when signing a person into the reading room). That value would then display in the grid for all items on hold and would automatically clear when the item was checked back in without staff having to remember to clear it.

Rather than using additional queues or flags, we could create separate customizable functionality to allow you to specify a hold location when you click the Item on Hold button or use the Item on Hold batch process. Would this be an acceptable solution?

Validate fields in staff client
A method to validate / require data fields in the staff client, but using separate rules from the web validation.
We're starting to get too many entries where staff are manually entering data that is not consistent. Even just making a field required would be a big win for us (ie, Call Number)

Allow users to clear all search boxes on dashboard from quick access toolbar
Currently, each search box on the dashboard (users, requests, actviites) has to be reset/cleared individually or by clicking the reset option from the bottom half of the search button. It would be convenient to provide a "clear all" option from the quick access toolbar that would quickly reset all search boxes to blank.

Login As should not default to previous account when user clicks Cancel
The Login As option allows staff users to switch accounts, but can pose a security risk if a user clicks cancel as the client will revert back to the previously logged in staff user.

Don't allow two users to be assigned to the same seat
The system currently allows multiple users to be assigned to the same seat, thus creating possible confusion while the patron is in the room, but, more importantly, compromising our security efforts and ability to retrospectively reconstruct reader behavior, etc., in the case of a security event.

Make certain drop down fields select only (doesn't allow typing a value)
If the location value desired is not there, staff are typing in a value versus correcting the drop down list.

Enable Recurring Appointments
Some of our researchers are requesting recurring appointments in our Reading Room, but we currently have to create a separate appointment for each individual date. It would be so helpful to be able to schedule those appointments all at once!
