Appointments - besides Status-specific appointment settings, allow for other fields to determine appointment settings
New York State Archives would like for other fields, specifically the Organization field, to be another field, like Status, that would allow for granular appointment settings. Patrons from some organizations will need more flexibility for appointment availability based on their research needs and schedules.

ASpace request fulfillment plugin: allow customizable :restrictions_message to be configured per Local Access Restrictions Type
Peabody Essex Museum suggested it would be useful to have different restrictions messages per Local Access Restriction Types as the restrictions vary and they would like the messaging to be different.

Add Route menu and Save button to the new Appointments window
The new and enhanced appointments window in the client has many great options. What would make this window even more functional is adding the Route Menu to the top menu. With this added, we can then, post-appointment confirmation, route all the associated requests to the queue where they need to be (as well as check materials out from here as well). In addition, if we can have a Save button in addition to Save and Close, that would be good too.

Add ability to change language for cancellations on the web
In the cancelled list of requests in the web Aeon account, the reason for cancellation says 'Cancelled by Customer' (this is hard-coded and not a reason for cancellation that we can change). We would love to be able to change the language because we do not refer to our patrons/researchers as customers and it might be confusing as well.

Add "Print Request" button to User Appointment ribbon
Hi,
We would love to see Aeon add the "Print Request" button to User Appointment ribbon. For offsite materials, printing a duplicate callslip is unnecessary and these print request pick lists are helpful for our paging procedures.
Thanks!

Use Appointment StopTime to use Appointment to inactive instead of StartTime
Users have reported that once an appointment starts, it is moved to inactive and hidden in the client. Some reading rooms allow requesting after the Appointment StartTime and therefore the appointment should remain active in the client lists until the StopTime has elapsed.

Edit invalid appointment time
The error message users get when trying to create an appointment outside of valid hours currently it says: "Validation error: Conflict with existing appointment."
This status message comes from the Aeon DLL and cannot be edited. It would be great if this was added as a configurable status message in the Customization Manager.

Pop-up Addon Allow for more than one instance
The new Pop-up Addon is great. A good enhancement would be to allow for more than one type of pop-up based on different fields, rather than only being able to have one.

Add more granular location data mapping to ArchivesSpace Fulfillment Plugin
Some institutions would like to bring isolated location data from ArchivesSpace into Aeon. Consider adding mapping for location coordinate label 1, coordinate indicator 1, coordinate label 2, coordinate indicator 2, coordinate label 3, coordinate indicator 3, (6 fields total) to allow for more discrete location information.

Mapping ArchivesSpace "container profile" name to Aeon requests via the ArchivesSpace/Aeon Request Fulfillment Plugin
The University of Southern California Libraries would like the ArchivesSpace Aeon Fulfillment Plugin to pull each container profile "name" from ArchivesSpace into new Aeon requests made via the plugin. The only value that we would like to map from the ArchivesSpace container profile record is the container profile "name" (title).
Currently, ArchivesSpace container profile values are not listed as available options in the Aeon OpenURLMapping table.

Apologies, this was mistakenly marked as Released. This enhancement is still under review.

Photoduplication - block requests once a patron has reached a page limit
From the University of Tulsa: Some of our collections contain huge troves of unpublished manuscripts, which has caused issues with copyright violations. Patrons can request scans of up to 200 pages from a single collection in a 6-month period. Is there a feature that will help us automate that policy? Flagging accounts, or blocking those requests from going through once the system records that a patron has successfully received a certain page count, or even stopping the request before it goes to submission?

Notification when closing Aeon if users are still signed into a reading room
Sometimes people forget to sign users out of the reading room at the end of the day, due to various factors. Would it be possible to have a pop-up notification that appears when the Aeon application is being closed, saying 'there are still users signed into the reading room'? This way, staff will be reminded to sign those users out before closing Aeon at the end of the day.

Convert Department field to free-text dropdown
Department field is a dropdown by default, but most sites would prefer a free-text field and instead use an ItemInfo field. Allow Department field to be coded as dropdown or free-text in web and convert Department database field to dropdown/free-text (like Activity Type and Location fields)

Ability to text patrons
The University of Washington would like to send text messages to patrons about a variety of notifications from Aeon, provided that the patron has requested to be texted. There is an existing UserVoice here specifically to send appointment notifications: https://uservoice.atlas-sys.com/forums/568075-aeon-ideas/suggestions/44973538-opt-in-text-message-reminders-for-appointments

Merging users: ability to key in letters to find user records or search for names
If I am not mistaken, the Merge Users function appears to require me to scroll through two (very long, in our case) lists of accounts, and click "Merge" only after having highlighted the duplicate accounts -- one on the left side and one on the right.
It's time consuming to do this -- so maybe there could be a search bar at the top of both lists, where you can enter the first few letters of any given names.
And/or: you could have the ability to enter the first few letters of the name to bring you to that record.…
