More flexibility with multi-site configurations
This idea came from a list in preparation for the 2015 Aeon User Symposium.
Better administrative options for configuring multi-site (not single system contact email, individual request limits per repository, Customization Manager for each Reading Room), better email support for multi-site in Aeon and not relying on Outlook rules to forward email to correct repository)

Allow multiple attachments on request record (like on user record)
Having the ability to upload multiple attachments per transaction would be nice. We don't use attachments specifically because we can't upload multiple items.

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.

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…

Create a description field in the Queues table
There are so many queues, it's good to have a description for their purpose.

Do not allow requests to be cloned to a disavowed account.
It doesn't make sense to be able to associate any new requests with a disavowed account. When cloning a request to another user and searching for them by name (not username), is it possible to hide disavowed accounts to avoid the mix-up?

Display flag when viewing transaction
The only way to tell when viewing a transaction that it is flagged seems to be to notice that "Remove Flag" is an option. Would like to something that is more noticeable.

Aeon scheduling: block off Saturday/Sunday/weekend
We would like appt scheduling options to automatically block out the weekend so that it doesn't count in 1) the "lead time" or 2) for available appt requests.

Aeon - ArchivesSpace client addon - request for more field mapping options
The University of Arkansas has requested the following mapping options for the ArchivesSpace client addon for Aeon: (1) Map "conditions governing use" note to the Aeon EADNumber field; (2) map location of top container information to the Aeon ItemSubLocation field; (3) for agents that are creators, pull the name from the Sort Name field instead of the Primary Name field (which often contains only the surname); (4) Ability to import the child and grandchild container type and indicator fields (this is not included with the ArchivalObjectInstance field in the addon); (5) Map component identifier to Aeon ItemCallNumber field; and (6)…

Adjust user expiration process to automatically update the user's expiration date when they submit ChangeUserInformation or ExpiredUsers
This should not be dependent on the AutoUpdateExpiration key. Many sites want users to expire yearly in order to reagree to reading room policies but do not want the user's expiration date to update anytime the user submits ChangeUserInformation, as that would bypass set user expiration.

Create an email to send automatically to patrons to notify them their Aeon account is expiring.
Create a new default email template to send automatically to patrons to notify them their Aeon account is going to expire.
Add key to Customization Manager so sites can decide whether to use this email or not.

Sending activity notification to a user who has yet created an account
I'd like to be able to create an activity and send a link to a user to add items even if they haven't yet created an account. The link would take them to the account creation page and then let them submit requests for the activity. Currently, I have to hope they let me know when they created an account or keep checking in Aeon before I know that I can add them to the activity.

Allow activity cloning from web account
Possibility of adding activity cloning from researchers web account. We work with several faculty and groups teaching the same classes each year and allowing them control of this function would help alleviate the impact this currently has on staff time.

Copy and paste from cells in tables
On the queue and flag tables, we used to be able to click a cell and copy just that information. We can't after the new version update. A fix for this would be incredibly beneficial.

Add the option to clone requests to the activity form processing ribbon
Staff would like the ability to clone multiple requests from an activity to an individual user in bulk. A current workaround is to clone the activity, select the appropriate requests to clone to the new user, then when the requests are created, clear the association to the activity and delete the activity, but this is pretty cumbersome.
