Import location information from a file without staff mediation
Many sites have location information stored in a variety of non-public formats (Excel, Access, etc.). They would like to have the location information imported into the Aeon request automatically if the title or some other unique value matches.
We have several sites who have asked about this but we need some additional info from you all. Who manages that file and do they typically have access to Aeon? How often is the file updated? Is it used for other purposes than special collections staff to know where things are? Could it (or a copy of it) live within the Aeon…

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…

Staff would like the option to copy and paste an entire grid from the staff client.
Staff have been missing this functionality since it was removed in Aeon 3.8 and would like to have it back.

Would like a way to have automated emails go out to a researcher at certain points
This could be handled via addons currently but would it make sense to build it into the native system?

Cancellation options for photoduplication orders
Have a Reason for Cancellation drop-down option on the photoduplication ribbon's Cancel button, similar to the Reason for Cancellation option on the main request ribbon's Cancel button. This would help staff track reasons for cancellation of a duplication order (non-approval, non-payment, researcher changed mind, etc).

Class material labels
In future versions of Aeon, it would be a great help if we were able to (1) generate labels (aut, title, imprint, call number) to use for class material and an easy way to generate a word document-looking list of materials used in a class.

Option to reassign seat to user without signing out and back in
Seat Assignments: It is currently not possible to reassign users’ seats in the reading room without first checking them out of the room and then checking them back in. Patrons regularly change seats to view different size and formats of materials. Having a real-time view of seating, as well as a seat history, is vital from a security perspective. The need to check patrons out and then in again also potentially compromises security, as well as creating an inaccurate record of events, which be important in any (hopefully unlikely) security events.

Populate scheduled date as current date on New Request form in client.
Currently, when a staff person clicks the New Request for User button in the Aeon Staff Client (from a user record), the scheduled date field is blank. Most sites require this field for a request and find it would be useful to have this field populate when requests are submitted in the client, as well.

Don't clone previous scheduled date when cloning activity requests
When an activity is cloned, the new requests retain the previous scheduled date. Ideally, the new requests should be updated to include a new scheduled date equal to the begin date of the activity.

Web user would like to print an invoice from the web
Used for reimbursement. Current option of just printing the table of requests does not look very official or sufficient.

Active requests button in activity
Rather than accidentally change all requests in an activity using Shift+click function, please add an "active requests" button like in User profiles so we can filter out cancelled requests from activity view.

Make OpenURL importing smarter to handle possible blank fields
If an OpenURL string contains a blank value for one of the fields, skip it so that a later field that contains a value can be used.

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.
