Create functionality to allow patrons to schedule appointments.
Create functionality to allow patrons to schedule appointments.This would also involve a tracking table where if a patron needs to reschedule the scheduled date, the change would be tracked (for reporting purposes). This might also involved the option to cancel an appointment (without necessarily cancelling requests) or to record when a patron is a walk-in.

ArchivesSpace - Aeon Fulfillment Plugin - Ability for patrons to make more than one selection in ArchivesSpace
A library using the Aeon Fulfillment plugin in ArchivesSpace would like for checkboxes to appear at the requestable levels (e.g. file, Item) so that a patron may select more than one resource before using the plugin to log into the Aeon and submit the requests via Aeon. They are essentially looking for a "shopping cart" feature on the ArchivesSpace side.

A new option called :top_container_mode has been added to the plugin configuration. Top container mode limits requesting to resource records and archival objects with top containers. The request button directs users to a new form in Aeon, ArchivalRequest.html, that will render the top containers as checkboxes. Each checked box will submit 1 request to Aeon. The requests will be submitted to Awaiting Request Processing.
The updated plugin also includes more granular options to control requesting based on restrictions. And an option to flag containers stored offsite.
More information is available in the documentation.

Appointment display options for patrons
Right now it looks as if a user logged in through the web will see their own appointments displayed in order from earliest (including past appointments) to latest. I imagine that as our frequent users return, this might get annoying for them - since they'd have to scroll and scroll to reach more recent/upcoming appointments.
Is there a way to let patrons change the order in which they display, or to toggle on/off "active" (current and upcoming?) appointments the way you can for "active" requests?

Allow photoduplication requesting via External Request Endpoint (ERE)
Requests placed via external requesting (especially from ArchivesSpace) are unable to be turned into photoduplication orders. Patrons or staff must clone the request to a copy order, which creates confusion with duplicate requests.

The option to toggle between scheduling a request and requesting photoduplication is supported on the ArchivalRequest.html released with Aeon 5.2 as part of the updated ArchivesSpace Aeon Request Plugin.

Allow staff to request items without appointments
Once you require appointments, it is applicable to everyone including staff. This is okay for Public Services staff who can navigate the client but not for everyone else who submits through the web interface. We have a workaround but it would be nice to allow staff to submit without an appointment.

Add history and tracking entries for Appointments
Currently, no history or tracking entries are available for Appointment. This makes tracking down issues and troubleshooting difficult. Including a history tab for Appointments would be very useful to determine when appointments are created in the client vs the web, when appointment information is changed or updated, etc.

Way for staff to create multiple requests from a file
Staff may have an Excel file with many requests that need to be created. As long as the fields match, Aeon should let them create multiple requests at once by uploading a file. They would all be assigned to the user selected in the staff client.

Hide past appointments in appointment dropdown on request form in the client
In the appointment dropdowns in the client, all appointments display with the oldest at the top. Past appointments (prior to the current date) should be hidden so staff only choose from future appointments.

Pull location data from ArchivesSpace into new Aeon requests made via the ArchivesSpace Aeon Fulfillment Plugin
The University of Southern California Libraries would like the ArchivesSpace Aeon Fulfillment Plugin to pull container location information from ArchivesSpace into new requests made via the plugin. The location "title" from ArchivesSpace (e.g., "Grand, 2, Bookstacks [Row: 103, Section: 1, Shelf: 1]") could export into the Aeon request's Location or SubLocation field. Ideally, if a user submits a request for an Archival Object that is linked to multiple containers, the fulfillment plugin would create a separate Aeon request for each container (with each container's corresponding location title from ArchivesSpace).

Top container location mapping has been included in the updated ArchivesSpace Request Fulfillment plugin released with Aeon 5.2. It is now possible to map the following fields to Aeon via the OpenURL mapping table:
- instance_top_container_location_note
- instance_top_container_location_title
- instance_top_container_location_id
- instance_top_container_location_building

Create database field for preferred name
Create a new database field for Preferred Name. This field should be searchable in the Name search on the Dashboard and added to the available display fields in the Signed In Users group. When used and data is present, the preferred name should supersede the First Name in all views/displays/print templates.

Create a tool/function to allow Aeon staff users to schedule blackout dates for their calendars.
Create a tool/function to allow Aeon staff users to schedule blackout dates for their calendars. This would allow staff to immediately modify their calendars without requiring support assistance. Especially important if the change is needed with short notice.
