  1. Expand routing rules to use additional tables

    Many sites have different workflows for various types of activities. It would be useful to allow routing rules to use the Activity table.

    An example would be for Exhibits. These activities often have additional workflow steps and are checked out for longer. It would be useful to use a routing rule to route activity requests for exhibits to custom exhibit queues.

    Another example is to narrow the routing to a custom offsite request queue only if requests for a specific activity type should go to the custom queue.

  2. 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…

  3. 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.

  4. Create a description field in the Queues table

    There are so many queues, it's good to have a description for their purpose.

  7. Exclude closed days from lead day counts

    When patrons make requests the day before regular closures, closed days are counted as lead days, so materials may not be available in time for patron appointment.

  8. 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.

  9. 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)…

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.
