Add key or other functionality to prevent creation of an appointment without an associated request in the web interface
Currently, the New Appointment button can be removed from ViewAppointments.html to prevent patrons from scheduling an appointment without submitting a request. However, when creating a request, the patron can schedule an appointment and then choose not to submit the request. This creates an appointment without any associated transactions. This setting should be appointment reading room specific.

Yes, please (for the Victoria University/ EJ Pratt Library Reading Room at the University of Toronto). Appointments without requests cause more staff time/interaction and confirmation. If the request fields are required in order to click "submit" on the request page (user's side) we should have the option for the appointment booking to follow the same conditions as the "submit button"
