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.

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.

Support custom database users in the Aeon Installer System administrators would like to be able to create and manage their own database users which isn't currently supported by the Aeon installer.

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.

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.

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…

Add a link for viewing requests on Aeon's Review Requests page On Aeon's View Requests in Review page, there is no link to view the details of a request. The only options are to either edit individual requests or batch-submit requests.
This can be accomplished by adding one of the following to the Templates/RequestsInReviewDataRow.html page.
<a href="<#DLL queryFields='false'>?Action=10&Form=63&Value=<#DATAROW field='TransactionNumber'>"><#DATAROW field='TransactionNumber'></a>
<a href="<#DLL queryFields='false'>?Action=10&Form=63&Value=<#DATAROW field='TransactionNumber'>">View Request</a>

Have the Aeon web application send an email when an error occurs. It could be helpful if the Aeon web application reported errors by sending an email using a new template. This could inform admins of errors they may otherwise be unaware of in a timely manner.

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.

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.
