Ability to temporary disable patron services in Aeon
The site would like to be able to temporarily disable photoduplication service availability while the applicable staff person is out of the office. This functionality could be similar to something like disabling ILL services when the library is closed. Perhaps there could be a toggle option that would prevent the photoduplication form from being available to the patron during this time period, along with an explanatory message of the situation.

Allow NewAuthRegistration to behave like NewUserRegistration after remote authentication
When patrons register via AeonAuth (non-shib), they are taken to the First Time Users page, asked to click through to agree to the policies, and then directed to the registration page.
NewAuthRegistration (via Shib) behaves differently and there is only one form where both the First Time policies and registration form are present after authentication.
Sites would like for patrons to see the First Time Users page separately from NewAuthRegistration.

Add ability to customize the Cancellation Message -- Cancelled by Customer
When a request is cancelled by the user, the message that is displayed in the web for Reason for Cancellation is "Cancelled by Customer." Having the ability to edit that text would allow consistency across web pages if edits have been made to address Users as Researchers or Patrons rather than Customers.

Pull in/map additional data from remote auth login to Aeon user registration.
Allow better mapping of additional information from LDAP and Shibboleth for remote auth registration.
Example: if value passing as username is email address, also allow this value to populate the Email Address field on the registration form.

Update javascript functionality in scheduled-date.js - vary based on site or location
Scheduled-date.js currently only offers one version of the scheduled date calendar for all forms. In many cases, the calendar needs to change based on form, site, or location.
Site example: several libraries use one instance of Aeon. One reading room is open on Saturday, but the others are not. Should have the option for one site to include Saturday and the other(s) to block requesting on Saturdays.
Location example: If materials are offsite, they may take longer to retrieve. The scheduled date calendar should be configurable to block days if material if offsite, or allow same day requesting if it…

Add a link for viewing requests on Aeon's Review Requests page
On Aeon's View Requests in Review page, there is no link to view the details of a request. The only options are to either edit individual requests or batch-submit requests.
This can be accomplished by adding one of the following to the Templates/RequestsInReviewDataRow.html page.
<a href="<#DLL queryFields='false'>?Action=10&Form=63&Value=<#DATAROW field='TransactionNumber'>"><#DATAROW field='TransactionNumber'></a>
<a href="<#DLL queryFields='false'>?Action=10&Form=63&Value=<#DATAROW field='TransactionNumber'>">View Request</a>

Recommendation system to suggest items to researchers based on users with the same research topic
American Philosophical Society created a 1.0 version of a recommendation system for the Aeon web (called PAL - for People Also Liked) to show other items a researcher might want to request based on topics and requests in the system.
This could be expanded into its own web service for recommending items.

When users log in to Aeon Web, provide feedback for disavowed usernames
Occasionally online users will create a new Aeon account not realizing that they have an existing account. We merge the records and disavow the duplicate, but when users try to log in with the disavowed username, the "Username not in database" message does not appear, just the message "Password incorrect"--because the username does exist, just disavowed. Can we have a separate message specifically to address logins with disavowed usernames, distinct from logins with active usernames?

Dynamic drop downs on user registration forms
If a user chooses a country, have the web form change the options for possible states. This could also include other dynamic drop down options if there are other suggestions.

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.

Update FAQ section on password reset
The default text in the FAQ section says:
"In the event that you forget your password, please contact the
Reference staff at (800) 555-1234. We can then reset your password allowing you access to Aeon. Please change your password once you logon to Aeon."For security purposes, patrons should be encouraged to reset their own password. The default language should be updated to direct the patron to ForgotPassword.html first, then to contact staff if they still need assistance.

The ability to use the Site Description column in more areas.
Right now the new SiteDescription column offers the ability to create and display more detailed site descriptions, but it is limited to web page grids. It would be nice if this column was opened up for use with other page elements.
