Submit requests for photoduplication from ILLiad/Aeon integration to Awaiting Request Processing instead of Submitted by User
Can implement a routing rule, but this behavior should be built in to minimize confusion. Staff are not in the habit of checking Submitted by User for any other request types.

Add the ability to clone appointments to other dates through the staff client
I find that it can be helpful to clone previous appointments to a patron, with the adjustment of expected appointment date. This can save steps vs creating a new from scratch.

Client: Have fields that allow multiple selections from a controlled vocabulary
The University of Pittsburgh would like additional data types for custom fields, especially the ability to select multiple options from a controlled vocabulary in fields (custom or default) on the Aeon client side. There is an existing ticket in UserVoice specifically about the research topics field. Pittsburgh would be interested in being able to have multi-select fields in the activity record in order to record necessary stats for activities that fall into multiple categories.

Add additional Aeon fields for Z39.50 mapping
Boston Public Library is importing their item barcode from their Polaris catalog into Aeon via Z39.50. They would like to be able to map the barcode value to the Aeon Item Number field, which is not currently possible. There is also an ILLiad UserVoice asking for this feature: https://uservoice.atlas-sys.com/forums/581665-illiad-ideas/suggestions/39458122-add-additional-result-mapping-options-for-z39-50

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

It would be useful to allow custom fields, transaction flags, and notes to upload via the RequestFromFile template.

Aeon client - custom search using 'any of' does not allow for editing of criteria
Boston Public Library created a custom search based on requests being at one of several identified transaction statuses. After building the search, they realized they wanted to omit one of the selected transaction statuses. There was no way to do this. They had to delete the search and rebuild it from scratch.

Adding waitlist functionality for appointment module
We would love to see a waitlist functionality for users to sign up for when our reading room is full and a cancellation occurs. It would make slotting existing users in much easier as we're now trying to do this manually / on the fly as cancellations occur.

Appointments: Remove start and stop time fields
The University of Baltimore requires appointments for patron requesting, but would like to remove the start and stop fields from the appointment form. This will allow staff to have more flexibility with controlling access to the reading room. The appointment configuration fields in the customization manager are not fined-tuned enough to allow for per-visit/per-case flexibility.

Automatically filter out disavowed users from user search
When a user has created multiple accounts, one account will be disavowed via the user merge process. However, that account is typically listed first in search results. When a disavowed user's account is selected in a grid, the special highlighting/text color does not persist. Thus it is easy for staff to get confused and click the wrong user record. It would be helpful to have a button like the Active/All requests toggle, set to active by default, to automatically filter disavowed users out of search results to minimize confusion and prevent staff from re-clearing disavowed users.

Activities - include Activity ID in activities tab view of active activities
The University of Pittsburgh has adapted the batch import template to allow for the import of requests into more than one activity. They did that by adding the activity ID field to the template. It would be easier to get the activity IDs if they were included in the fields that display when a staff person clicks on the Activities tab in the staff client and views the current activities. From this view, the table can be exported to Excel. It would be helpful if the activity ID was included in the export. The Activity ID field is not currently…

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)

Create separate key for request limits for activities
Allow sites to set request limits for activities, separate from the user's request limit. Would also like to limit requests by location (room/space used for activity).

When signing researchers in, scanning barcode triggers automatic search
Scanning patron ID barcode automatically triggers user search rather than having to put cursor in user search field(s)
