Add functionality to display a field (including custom fields) when RequestFor is populated with an activity.
When a user submitting a request selects an activity from the Request For dropdown, allow additional fields to display to ask for Date Needed or other data related to activity requests. This relates specifically to sites using appointments, where the appointment fields are hidden when an activity is selected.

Automatically filter out disavowed users from user search
When a user has created multiple accounts, one account will be disavowed via the user merge process. However, that account is typically listed first in search results. When a disavowed user's account is selected in a grid, the special highlighting/text color does not persist. Thus it is easy for staff to get confused and click the wrong user record. It would be helpful to have a button like the Active/All requests toggle, set to active by default, to automatically filter disavowed users out of search results to minimize confusion and prevent staff from re-clearing disavowed users.

Would like an email notification from Aeon when a patron has paid for an order
Georgia State University is using TouchNet to allow patrons to pay for orders via credit card. It is not enough of a notification that the order status changes to “Awaiting Item Delivery,” as there will be multiple orders in that queue at a time, including for patrons who weren’t charged, as well as pending file delivery from vendors. It’s difficult to understand which requests are new from TouchNet payments. They would ideally like for Aeon to send an email notification, or at least display some kind of flag on the Aeon client. For now, they are looking into TouchNet to…

Adding waitlist functionality for appointment module
We would love to see a waitlist functionality for users to sign up for when our reading room is full and a cancellation occurs. It would make slotting existing users in much easier as we're now trying to do this manually / on the fly as cancellations occur.

Appointments: Remove start and stop time fields
The University of Baltimore requires appointments for patron requesting, but would like to remove the start and stop fields from the appointment form. This will allow staff to have more flexibility with controlling access to the reading room. The appointment configuration fields in the customization manager are not fined-tuned enough to allow for per-visit/per-case flexibility.

Allow users to select multiple dates/date spans in the Aeon appointment calendar
We desperately need for users to be able to choose more than one date on the calendar via a single request form. For researchers visiting for one week, for example, we would like them to be able to select their needed materials (from a finding aid, for example), and then be able to select the entire week they propose to visit, as opposed to having to submit a form for each day they want to visit (what if they are viewing one large collection for that entire week, for example - now they have to submit a form for each…

Allow appointments to be set for certain days only while leaving other days open for scheduling via scheduled date
Allow more nuance in appointment configuration to set some days as appointment-only and allow other days to still be open by scheduled date or not require an appointment.

Add associated appointments to info displayed in request lists
An option to show patrons which requests they have linked to an appointment in the "Outstanding Requests," "All Requests" etc. lists would be great.

Activities - include Activity ID in activities tab view of active activities
The University of Pittsburgh has adapted the batch import template to allow for the import of requests into more than one activity. They did that by adding the activity ID field to the template. It would be easier to get the activity IDs if they were included in the fields that display when a staff person clicks on the Activities tab in the staff client and views the current activities. From this view, the table can be exported to Excel. It would be helpful if the activity ID was included in the export. The Activity ID field is not currently…

Allowing users to toggle between reading rooms in the appointment booking calendar
It would be helpful is users could toggle between reading rooms in the appointment booking calendar. It's confusing to have to select which reading room first then bring up the calendar. It should just be in one place. Thanks!

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).

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)

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.

Appointment configuration for "overflow" spaces
Add option for "overflow" spaces to be booked by appointment when primary reading room space(s) are full. These rooms would not be available for appointment booking on a regular basis, but would display if all spaces in the primary reading room are full.
