Schedule Staff Notifications in Aeon Client
We have recently been thinking about how we can improve our staff communications in the Reading Room. We often have instances where staff need to be alerted to special arrangements, updates or events in the Reading Room in a timely manner.
It occurred to me that the functionality we are looking for is much like that available in the Aeon system when alert pop-ups occur for new requests for processing and users waiting to be cleared.
It would be ideal if editable alerts could be scheduled so that when staff log in to the Aeon Client, a pop-up appears with…

Integrate Aeon activities with course reserves
Sites would like the ability to integrate activities with course reserves software. Specifically make materials used in classes visible in Blackboard, etc.
Also, a means to manage Ares/Aeon interoperability, specifically the ability to scan and place images of special collections materials on Reserve (sending records between to two systems) for class assignments, so as to not overwhelm the reading room when a large class is assigned to do something in SPEC as an assignment.

Remove unnecessary tabindex=0 on inputs because they're redundant
tabindex=0 adds an html element to the tab order. By default, inputs are already focusable, so they do not need a tabindex=0.
Note: the tabindex=0 should also be removed from any elements that do not explicitly need to be focusable via tab. Screen readers users will be able to reach the text regardless whether it is in the tab order or not. It'll likely just confused keyboard users.

Modify request validation in the web to better support non-transaction fields.
- Add RequestLink to Keep in Review form (replace with correct page name)
- In-place request validation should ignore non-transaction fields for Keep in Review page but should consider them when submitting for processing.

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.

Rather than using additional queues or flags, we could create separate customizable functionality to allow you to specify a hold location when you click the Item on Hold button or use the Item on Hold batch process. Would this be an acceptable solution?

When uploading an item for a photoduplication request, set the default file type to All Files.
When uploading an item for a photoduplication request, the Open dialog box defaults to displaying PDF files. Aeon users may be delivering a lot of different file types through Aeon, so the Open dialog box should show all file types by default

Expand ReferenceNumber field to accommodate the multiple folders listed for a box request
When patrons select multiple folders in the same box, the requests are concatenated into one Aeon Transaction and the folder numbers are placed in the Reference Number field (separated by commas). In theory, this could be as many folders as in a box, but that should be an outlier based on the patron not knowing that they do not need to request each folder.
Currently that field is only 50 characters, so the folders are getting cut off.
Alternately, this information could be put in another field that's larger and more accommodating.

Have "Clone and Finish" button not only for items in "Item checked out" status, but also other statuses.
Right now, this can only be done when the item is in "Item Checked out" but, this leads to many requests that languish in "Awaiting Item Reshelving" because people forget to finish. This would solve that! Thanks.

Update javascript functionality in scheduled-date.js - vary based on site or location
Scheduled-date.js currently only offers one version of the scheduled date calendar for all forms. In many cases, the calendar needs to change based on form, site, or location.
Site example: several libraries use one instance of Aeon. One reading room is open on Saturday, but the others are not. Should have the option for one site to include Saturday and the other(s) to block requesting on Saturdays.
Location example: If materials are offsite, they may take longer to retrieve. The scheduled date calendar should be configurable to block days if material if offsite, or allow same day requesting if it…

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.

Ability to see if a user is signed into the reading room from request grid
We would love a way to see if a user is signed in from the request grids so we can prioritize our paging, etc.

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.

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.

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.

Add a way to mark if this is a user's first time in the reading room
Once a user is cleared, it is hard for other staff to know if it's that person's first time into the reading room and needs an orientation, etc. It would be great if it could be visually displayed somewhere in the user record or on the sign in table so that it's more obvious to staff.
