  1. 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,…

  2. 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

  3. 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).

  7. Add ability to integrate Aeon with a webcam

    Staff would like the ability to import patron photos directly from webcam software rather than saving the photo and uploading from their workstation.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  12. 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)

  13. 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).

  14. 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.

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

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  20. Make the "Send Email" button for Item Delivered to retain the previous staff selection

    Georgia Archives use the Item Delivered button to route items to "Item Delivered." About half the time they need to send an email, and the other half they don't need to send the email because the patron is picking up the order in person. They would like for the "Send Email" button to retain the previous selection by the staff user. For example, if the staff user did not need to send an email for a transaction, they would like for the "Send Email' button to remain unselected for the next time. Currently, this only works for the 'Edit Email'…
