  1. 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.

  3. Have option to add fields from ReadingRoomHistory table to the User Record Detail window

    Have an option to add fields from ReadingRoomHistory table to the User Record Detail tab layout, so that staff can quickly see the last time a user was signed in to a selected Reading Room.

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  6. 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).

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. When users log in to Aeon Web, provide feedback for disavowed usernames

    Occasionally online users will create a new Aeon account not realizing that they have an existing account. We merge the records and disavow the duplicate, but when users try to log in with the disavowed username, the "Username not in database" message does not appear, just the message "Password incorrect"--because the username does exist, just disavowed. Can we have a separate message specifically to address logins with disavowed usernames, distinct from logins with active usernames?

  13. Add an extra level to User Sign-In (for lockers, keys, etc)

    Would be great to have an additional level of sign in for users above the room level so that we could sign out lockers to users before they are assigned a seat.

  14. Have all notifications sent from the system appear under "Notifications" in the web client

    Custom notifications do not appear under "Notifications" in the web client. Given that system-relayed emails are routinely bounced by email servers (this is a recurring problem for us), it would be helpful if emails that appear in the client on the history tab under "email history" were visible there.

  16. Notification for duplicate requests submitted

    If a researcher requests something that is already on hold or in retrieval from a remote location, Aeon should alert staff to prevent duplicate paging or looking for things that are right behind them.

  17. Recommendation system to suggest items to researchers based on users with the same research topic

    American Philosophical Society created a 1.0 version of a recommendation system for the Aeon web (called PAL - for People Also Liked) to show other items a researcher might want to request based on topics and requests in the system.

    This could be expanded into its own web service for recommending items.

  19. Dynamic drop downs on user registration forms

    If a user chooses a country, have the web form change the options for possible states. This could also include other dynamic drop down options if there are other suggestions.

  20. Delete users and/or requests

    Sites would like to delete users and requests from the database permanently. This is for cleaning up bogus records as well as breaking the connection for old successful requests the site does not want to keep any longer.
