Allow partial closures to display reduced appointment time in web when full day appointments are set. If appointment min length is set to 420 mins, reduced availability should still show difference to available time when reading room is closed for part of the day. Currently, if a full day appointment (ex only 420 min length appointments) is set but the reading room is closed for 120 of those minutes, the full day shows as closed in the web interface.

Add key or other functionality to prevent creation of an appointment without an associated request in the web interface Currently, the New Appointment button can be removed from ViewAppointments.html to prevent patrons from scheduling an appointment without submitting a request. However, when creating a request, the patron can schedule an appointment and then choose not to submit the request. This creates an appointment without any associated transactions. This setting should be appointment reading room specific.

Fix Aeon Emails Getting Flagged as Spam At the Schlesinger Library, we are experiencing an issue with emails sent via Aeon getting flagged and routed to spam folders. We use the email function in Aeon to send out our confirmation emails, so having the emails get marked as spam causes problems for both staff and users.

Appointment email templates: Shorten display of time I am submitting this on behalf of the University of Tulsa:The appointment start and stop times in the appointment email templates display in the format HH:MM:SS. For example: "Your appointment from 12:00:00 PM to 1:00:00 PM is confirmed." The additional zeros in the seconds format looks clunky. We would like the times to display in the format HH:MM.

More staff permissions in the Aeon Client We need more granular staff permissions for the Aeon client.
For example, we have some staff who should ideally not have the permission to clone requests, for example, or perhaps to create new requests. I see there is a similar ER for Ares, but I do not see one for Aeon staff permissions.
Even with a transition to the web client from the local application, more sophisticated staff permissions are still quite pertinent. Please consider!

Allow multiple researchers to be linked to a transaction for group work We often have researchers who arrive together and work together, looking at the same materials at the same time. In these instances, one person makes the requests in their account and then we clone the requests to any other users and print call slips out for them. Something that would be a lot easier for us is if there was a way to group researchers and perhaps get multiple names on a call slip so we could just print out one slip.

Appointments - maintain history of cancelled appointment in associated request record(s) The University of Tulsa allows patrons to cancel unconfirmed appointments. If the patron cancels the appointment, the appointment reference is removed from the associated request record(s). It would be helpful if the appointment association remained, particularly in the use case where the patron wanted to schedule a new appointment in the future and wanted to request those same materials. It will be easier for staff to see on the client side which requests belonged to the original cancelled appointment, so that the requests could be cloned to the new appointment.

Staff client calendar - would like both reading room and activities to display on calendar From the University of Tulsa: As archival staff, we would like to be able to see all of our public-facing reading room activities - appointments and activities - on one calendar. It would be handy to also have the activities display on the Calendar tab in the staff client that already displays the reading room appointments.

For full day appointments, if user attempts to schedule for date available but appointment time has passed, show appropriate notification If reading room allows for all day appointment, say 10am - 5pm, and a user attempts to book for the next available day (min lead day), date appears to be availalble but is not. Full day should be greyed out in this case.

Appointments: Allow public notes for exceptions to display on patron web interface I am submitting this on behalf of the University of Tulsa. The appointment configurations in the customization manager include a Public Note field for exception dates, but this public note does not appear on the patron web interface. If a patron mouses over an exception date on the appointment calendar, a generic note displays: "Disabled date [full date]" instead of the public note in the customization manager.

Reset password via entering email Right now, when a user wants to reset their password in Aeon, they must enter their username. Would it be possible for someone to enter their email address instead? We do find that some users have also forgotten their username and must contact staff. It would be ideal if they could instead enter their email to recall their password.

Allow patrons option to view password during password creation on registration form The University of Washington would like for the patron to be able to view the password, if desired - i.e., "eyelid" toggle icon, while creating the password on the registration page. This way, they can catch any errors when they have to enter their password twice, instead of starting over if there is a password character mismatch.

Option to batch-clone items associated with an activity to a different activity or user from within the activity record Create a "Clone to Different User" button within each Activity Record that will allow reading room staff to quickly circulate class carts to individual students in the reading room and then return those carts to hold status for the next student.
We often keep dozens of items on a hold cart for weeks after they have been used in a specific classroom activity. This allows students from that class to return at a later date and examine those materials individually in the reading room. The current process is overly cumbersome: staff must open the “Item on Hold for Activity” queue,…

Have Aeon automatically sign out patrons when reading room closes Purdue University would like for Aeon to automatically sign patrons out at when the reading room closes, based on the hours that are set up in appointments. This is in case staff forget to sign a patron out of the reading room, and no one notices until the reading room reopens. Note: There is another UserVoice entry that requests the ability to adjust the sign out time for a patron in the same scenario, which Purdue would also be happy with: https://uservoice.atlas-sys.com/forums/568075-aeon-ideas/suggestions/41771128-add-ability-to-adjust-sign-out-time
