Appointments - different configurations for different request forms
Boston Public Library would like the ability to have certain request forms, based on the format of the requested material, require longer lead times for appointment scheduling that are different from the reading room's typical appointment settings. The University of Pittsburgh would like to have some web request forms that are intended to be used by staff who don't have access to the Aeon client but need to submit requests for preservation, to not require appointments, while the other patron web request forms do require appointments.

Aeon 5.2 includes a status-specific appointment feature, which allows staff to set different lead time and appointment requirements based on user status.

Add additional clearance options or option to create custom clearance statuses
Some sites would like to use Disavow ONLY as a security status for users who should not be allowed to use materials. Merging users should include more nuance and set clearance status as Duplicate (or something custom) rather than Disavowed so staff can more easily differentiate between inactive users.

Add "open" exception type to appointment scheduling tab
Allow staff to set an "open" exception for cases where the reading room is open. For example: if the reading room is open one Saturday per month, it would be preferable to set the open hours for Saturday and check a box to indicate the library is closed. But then add an "open" exception to indicate which Saturday is open rather than adding exceptions for all closed days.

Categories in the Process Ribbon menu
Is it possible to add the ability to categorize items in the Process Ribbon menu on the top of the dashboard screen in the client? Much like one can define categories of queues/statuses in the Routing menu, can we also create sub-menus in the Process Ribbon? We have quite a number of statuses we have added to the Process Ribbon menu, and it would be helpful to categorize them for our different locations.

More flexibility for multi-site instances that use appointments and need to transfer requests to another site
The University of Pittsburgh needs to be able to temporarily transfer requests to another site in order to have that site pull material. That site will pull the material, and then route the request back to the original site. However, since both sites have their own reading rooms, the scheduled appointment in one reading room prevents the transfer of the request to another sites. Both of these sites can view each other's requests.
If we configure each site to have both reading rooms, the transfer works. However, on the web side, with this configuration, patrons can then choose one location,…

Make the "Create Requests" button accessible from the Requests/Process tab.
Currently, when you click on a user's Request tab, that option is not available and you have to click out to the Home tab.

Add transaction status photoduplication status name columns to bundle in staff layout template
Currently, only the Transaction and Photoduplication status IDs appear in the bundle grid. It would be useful for staff to see the full status name, as most are not familiar with the ID.
Additionally, any changes made to this grid should save to the layout template (at individual and template edit levels).

Add option to search for user by Organization in client User and Request search
Some libraries receive requests frequently by members of certain organizations like news media, law firms, etc. It would be useful to search by Organization and return results lists for users associated with that organization or requests made by users with that organization. This would help when staff know someone from an organization made a request but they aren't sure who the user is.

Improve request processing for digitized content
If staff have a way to flag that an item is already digitized (perhaps import a field from ArchivesSpace), show container information that items are the same, but can be managed separately. Add logic to ask user if they want digitized or physical version. Auto-close digitized requests to finished queue and email patron to let them know that an alternate copy is available.

Add ability to adjust sign out time
Allow staff users to adjust sign out time in the Aeon client. This will allow for accurate statistics and tracking.

Add key or checkbox to allow sites to determine if a specific field should clone to a new request.
Ex: if a user places a request but includes a range of boxes, staff will need to clone the request and update the barcode (ItemNumber). If the barcode field is set not to clone, staff can add the correct barcode to each cloned request.

Change the "Reset" option to "Clear" or update to "Reset Search" beneath the dashboard search options.
Change the text to "Clear" or "Reset Search" would be more clear and indicative of what happens when you click Reset in the menu beneath the dashboard search options. Users hesitate to click "Reset" because they don't know what it will reset.

Create "email all" functionality that allows the option to email all patrons in bulk from Aeon.
We'd like Aeon to allow us the capability of emailing all approved researchers through the system directly. Currently, we have to create a list and export it from Aeon to send emails from another system

Ability to update physical and photoduplication automatically together
Georgia Archives uses a number of custom workflows that are specific to working with government records. They have a few photoduplication workflows where they would like to be able to update the photoduplication status and have that action automatically update the physical status. One example is when they route transactions to "Awaiting Order Payment," they would like for the physical status to update to "In Photoduplication." Currently, the transaction routes to "Awaiting Order Payment" via a routing rule. Then staff have to navigate to the Details tab to click on the In Photoduplication button.
