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.

Database fields - bigger, better, more flexible There have been multiple situations that our life would have been made much easier if we had more flexibility in the Aeon database fields. For example, it is often suggested to use "another unused field" to store data. We often run into the issue that these fields are character limited.
The max length of any text field seems to 255 characters, which can be totally impractical for some purposes. I am assuming that this might be because of the MS Word mail merge character limit?
Is there any reason why text fields could not not be expanded to something like…

Aeon 5.1 added the unlimited custom fields feature but did not increase field sizes.

Scheduled Date field - option to exclude time /change default time When selecting a date in the Scheduled Date field in a client request form, the time currently defaults to 12:00am. If you are selecting today's date to enter a new request, you must also change the time to a valid time (else receive the error "The scheduled date field must be set to a date that is in the future.")
Is it possible to change the default time to a time that a request would more likely be entered in the client (such as 12:00pm), or to change the default to whatever the current time is? If not, it would…

Problem with "Item Cleanup with the System Manager" When the "DaysBeforeElectronicDeliveryCleanup" key is set, the System Manager is not JUST changing the photoduplication status to finished for the orders whose files it has deleted, but it sends all the orders whose photoduplication status is delivered and photoduplication status date is over DaysBeforeElectronicDeliveryCleanup to finished status.
The cleanup process should be really driven by the name of files deleted by the system manager. The system manager should really leave other orders alone, no matter what status they have or how long they have that status. Otherwise,
1. if somehow an order was moved to the delivered status and its…3 votes -
Create addon to add an expiration date to a queue and automatically route requests once the date parameter has passed In the staff client, requests in the Item on Hold queue have no expiration, but most sites allow holds for 1-2 weeks. Create an addon that allows site to determine queue and number of days for requests to stay in that queue. When the number of days has elapsed, automatically route the request to another queue. EX: if a request is in Item on Hold and is allowed to be on hold for 2 weeks, set expiration for 14 days. When 14 days has passed, automatically route the request to Remove from Hold so staff can reshelve.

Add page up and page down buttons for Activity records like on Requests In client, add ability to page up or page down from the active Activities list, like you can from requests in a queue. When you open an active activity from the dashboard Activity tab, you have to close and reopen each activity to page through. Would be useful to have the page through buttons.

Remove flags from multiple requests at once We'd love to have the ability to "batch remove" flags from multiple requests in one action. Ideally this would provide an option to either 1) remove all flags from all selected requests, or 2) choose which flags to remove from selected requests.

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…

Option to store certain customization values securely There may be certain customization values in the Customization Manager that should be hidden by default, such as SMTP passwords, LDAP authentication settings, etc. Those values would not be readable through the interface but could be reset by staff with access to the Customization Manager.

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).

Filter notifications on web to only show emails sent to the user Right now, Aeon shows all notifications (emails) sent regarding a transaction. It's possible some of those emails may be internal in nature but there isn't a way to filter those out currently.
Either certain emails could be marked as "internal", during the email creation process and/or email routing entry, or emails could be filtered to only show those where the user's email address is in the TO or CC fields. This would be an issue if the user changed their email address, though.

Automated flag removal at time of reshelve Is it possible for the system to automatically remove the flag status at the time the item is "reshelved". Thus avoiding duplicate handling of the record and causing confusion of the number of items on selected locations.
