  1. Add a 'Do not ask again' checkbox to the Aeon client update dialog

    Some sites are required to have all client updates performed by IT staff, which must be scheduled in most cases. It would be nice to have an option to disable to update prompt in such cases so that staff are no longer prompted.

  2. Add option to print individual callslip from Activity request grid

    When you open an activity, and then open the request grid, I really want to be able to select multiple requests from this grid, and print those call slips.

    And, I don't always necessarily want to print all call slips in an activity. Some might be offsite, others in the vault, others I just need to look at first in making decisions about a class...I don't always want to print them all.

  3. Add list of note types to WebNotesFilter key in Customization Manager

    It is possible via the WebNotesFilter key to filter out certain note types from the web. By default, only System notes are filtered. The description should be updated as it currently refers to Lender which is not applicable to Aeon. But should also include a list of all note types.

  4. 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.

  6. Hide unused templates from the client Email dropdown

    Aeon default email templates cannot be deleted or renamed, However, unused templates display in the Email dropdown in the client. It would be useful to add an option to hide unused email templates from the client.

  7. Add tracking to request history when item is uploaded

    No tracking entry is added when files are uploaded for photoduplication requests. Add entry in tracking table to indicate file was uploaded as there is currently no way to know aside from clicking the Upload Item button a second time to get an dialog box indicating a file has already been uploaded.

  8. Add unique tracking entry to Request history when Photoduplication is initialized

    Currently, tracking just says "Request Information Modified" but it's not always clear to staff that someone just clicked Initialize Photoduplication rather than just changing the request information.

  9. Automatically close user record once user is signed in

    We would like not to have to manually close a user record once a user is signed in to the reading room.

  11. 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.

  12. Permit scheduling of recurring Web Alerts

    We want to schedule our "Reminder: no paging on Saturdays" web alert to display on Fridays and Saturdays only. Currently, we have to move the Active Date and Expiration Date by hand each week.

  13. Ability to search on a single day other than today or yesterday using custom search

    When creating a custom search in the staff client, if you are searching on a date field, currently there is no way to search on a single day unless it is today or yesterday. Sometimes I need to create a query of all requests that came in on a specific day, for example last Friday, and there is not a way to easily do this unless you select a range of days and then filter the results.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. Adjust request limit logic so that photoduplication requests do not count against request limit.

    Requests submitted for photoduplication go to Awaiting Request Processing | Awaiting Order Processing initially. Because the requests hit Awaiting Request Processing, photoduplication requests currently count against a patron's request limit until they are moved into a photoduplication queue.

    Sites should have the option to choose whether photoduplication requests count against a patron's limit.

  17. Allow staff to send one email for multiple requests (batch email)

    Would it be possible to highlight a set of requests from one user, and send a single email to the user?

    It would be great to highlight all the requests from each single user at once and then send one collective email to the user.

  18. Opening a request should not affect transaction "Changed Date" if nothing changes with request

    When a staff member opens a transaction record to view, it should not be logged in the history as an update unless something has been edited within the request. Having the transaction date adjusted for every time a request is opened and looked at is misleading and messes up the ability to track request changes properly.

  19. Allow Aeon to ping paging staff to alert them to new requests.

    Right now, our pages need to walk past the computer workstation every 5-10 minutes, interrupting their work, to check whether there are new reading room requests for material. If Aeon could buzz their phones or push a notification through an app when there are new requests, that could allow workers to fluidly work without missing new requests.

  20. 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…
