Modify Long Text custom fields to truly be Long Text
The new custom fields are fantastic, with one exception: the Long Text field is still limited to 255 characters.
Ideally, this limit would be removed and the Long Text field would be NVARCHAR(MAX).
At the risk of saying "well, that's easy," having a "LongText NVARCHAR(MAX)" field definition in the CustomFieldValues table seems reasonable enough.

Rename Taiwan on registration form
We had a patron bring this issue to our attention. Right now, when a patron registers in Aeon, the country description for Taiwan is "Taiwan, Province of China." As the patron stated, "I’m aware that many in America are not aware of the political sensitivities around this issue, but at the moment we are still an independent country (which most of us in Taiwan prefer!), so to say we are a province of China is untrue and politically incorrect! Perhaps you can make a note of this to your web designer!"

Ability for users to view and print past (paid) invoices, and staff to print statement of paid invoices via the client.
When a user wants a statement of paid invoices for reimbursement from their institution or other issues, there's no great way to get that for them once the orders are paid and delivered. We have to manually go in and resend each paid invoice, or they have to go into each separate transaction/order.

Add the ability to schedule partial closures
Add the ability to schedule partial closures within the customization manager. Because of instruction held frequently in the reading room, I would like to be able to block requesting for specific blocks of time within a day, for example, from 1:00-2:30.

View notifications from transaction details on web
It would be useful to add the notifications related to a single TN to the TN detail page. Patrons could more easily correlate the notifications with the TN.

When printing callslips from the Activity form, print callslips for all requests awaiting processing, even those in custom queues
We have a few custom Awaiting Activity Processing queues, but when we print callslips for all requests awaiting processing, only callslips for the requests in the default Awaiting Activity Processing queue print. We would like all requests in a queue with the State of Awaiting Activity Processing to print.

Permit scheduling of recurring Web Alerts
We want to schedule our "Reminder: no paging on Saturdays" web alert to display on Fridays and Saturdays only. Currently, we have to move the Active Date and Expiration Date by hand each week.

Populate scheduled date as current date on New Request form in client.
Currently, when a staff person clicks the New Request for User button in the Aeon Staff Client (from a user record), the scheduled date field is blank. Most sites require this field for a request and find it would be useful to have this field populate when requests are submitted in the client, as well.

Cloned activity request should update with new scheduled date
Cloned activity requests should be updated to reflect a new scheduled date, ideally equal to the activity begin date.

Allow patrons to remove tags from multiple requests at once via web
I was thinking something like the Approve Orders table where patrons could click one or multiple checkboxes from the table (the one they view when they click the tag link from the main menu) and click a "remove tag" button.

Ping the endpoint service periodically to keep the connection active.
We use a homegrown request tool for our EAD guides and we run into an issue where, after a period of inactivity, the connection is lost and so our request tool cannot communicate with Aeon. There does not seem to be a good way to "poke" the server to reestablish the connection. Sometimes the issues lasts a moment, sometimes it persists for 10-15 minutes, meaning our users cannot easily submit requests.

Aeon calendar - seat locations by status
Would it be possible to have Aeon calendar seat locations be available/manageable by user status? So for example, if there were 6 seats available for the public, but two additional seats only available for staff or fellows, could that be configured so those additional seats could be booked only by users with the selected statuses?

Sticky Flag Queues
Hello,
We use the "Deliver to Reading Room" flag, and each time the queue is emptied and a user logs back into Aeon, the "Requests" queue section that includes the "Deliver to Reading Room" queue reverts to it's original order in the list of queue categories. It would be great if it could stick to the spot where the Aeon user has moved it.3 votes -
Deliver to Reading Room Flag
It would be great if the "Deliver to Reading Room" flag was automatically removed from a request when the request was moved to the "Checked Out" status.

Import location information from ArchivesSpace in requests received by other external systems.
If a request is received in Aeon from a system that is not the system of record like ArchivesSpace, auto retrieve the matching record ArchivesSpace location and update the Aeon request. Sometimes external systems are not updated real time and the location may have changed. This would prevent staff going to retrieve items in the wrong location and then needing to do detective work to find the correct location in ASpace and retrieve again.

Add 'accommodations needed' field to appointment form
Purdue University would like for patrons to be able to request needed accommodations for their reading room appointments, such as a magnifying glass or extra light. They are currently using the Special Requests field to collect this info, but they would like for a dedicated field that is part of the appointment form so that they can include acknowledgement of the request when they send the appointment confirmation email.
