  1. Activities - include Activity ID in activities tab view of active activities

    The University of Pittsburgh has adapted the batch import template to allow for the import of requests into more than one activity. They did that by adding the activity ID field to the template. It would be easier to get the activity IDs if they were included in the fields that display when a staff person clicks on the Activities tab in the staff client and views the current activities. From this view, the table can be exported to Excel. It would be helpful if the activity ID was included in the export. The Activity ID field is not currently…

  2. Create separate key for request limits for activities

    Allow sites to set request limits for activities, separate from the user's request limit. Would also like to limit requests by location (room/space used for activity).

  4. Validate fields in staff client

    A method to validate / require data fields in the staff client, but using separate rules from the web validation.

    We're starting to get too many entries where staff are manually entering data that is not consistent. Even just making a field required would be a big win for us (ie, Call Number)

  5. When signing researchers in, scanning barcode triggers automatic search

    Scanning patron ID barcode automatically triggers user search rather than having to put cursor in user search field(s)

  6. Add ability to integrate Aeon with a webcam

    Staff would like the ability to import patron photos directly from webcam software rather than saving the photo and uploading from their workstation.

  8. Appointment Scheduling - Change military time view to 12-hour time view

    The University of Pittsburgh would like for the Appointment Scheduling tab in the customization manager to display the Open Hours as 12-hour times instead of in military time.

  9. Appointments - different configurations for different request forms

    Boston Public Library would like the ability to have certain request forms, based on the format of the requested material, require longer lead times for appointment scheduling that are different from the reading room's typical appointment settings. The University of Pittsburgh would like to have some web request forms that are intended to be used by staff who don't have access to the Aeon client but need to submit requests for preservation, to not require appointments, while the other patron web request forms do require appointments.

  12. Add additional clearance options or option to create custom clearance statuses

    Some sites would like to use Disavow ONLY as a security status for users who should not be allowed to use materials. Merging users should include more nuance and set clearance status as Duplicate (or something custom) rather than Disavowed so staff can more easily differentiate between inactive users.

  13. Add "open" exception type to appointment scheduling tab

    Allow staff to set an "open" exception for cases where the reading room is open. For example: if the reading room is open one Saturday per month, it would be preferable to set the open hours for Saturday and check a box to indicate the library is closed. But then add an "open" exception to indicate which Saturday is open rather than adding exceptions for all closed days.

  14. Categories in the Process Ribbon menu

    Is it possible to add the ability to categorize items in the Process Ribbon menu on the top of the dashboard screen in the client? Much like one can define categories of queues/statuses in the Routing menu, can we also create sub-menus in the Process Ribbon? We have quite a number of statuses we have added to the Process Ribbon menu, and it would be helpful to categorize them for our different locations.

  15. More flexibility for multi-site instances that use appointments and need to transfer requests to another site

    The University of Pittsburgh needs to be able to temporarily transfer requests to another site in order to have that site pull material. That site will pull the material, and then route the request back to the original site. However, since both sites have their own reading rooms, the scheduled appointment in one reading room prevents the transfer of the request to another sites. Both of these sites can view each other's requests.

    If we configure each site to have both reading rooms, the transfer works. However, on the web side, with this configuration, patrons can then choose one location,…

  16. Make the "Create Requests" button accessible from the Requests/Process tab.

    Currently, when you click on a user's Request tab, that option is not available and you have to click out to the Home tab.

  18. Add transaction status photoduplication status name columns to bundle in staff layout template

    Currently, only the Transaction and Photoduplication status IDs appear in the bundle grid. It would be useful for staff to see the full status name, as most are not familiar with the ID.

    Additionally, any changes made to this grid should save to the layout template (at individual and template edit levels).

  19. Add option to search for user by Organization in client User and Request search

    Some libraries receive requests frequently by members of certain organizations like news media, law firms, etc. It would be useful to search by Organization and return results lists for users associated with that organization or requests made by users with that organization. This would help when staff know someone from an organization made a request but they aren't sure who the user is.

  20. Improve request processing for digitized content

    If staff have a way to flag that an item is already digitized (perhaps import a field from ArchivesSpace), show container information that items are the same, but can be managed separately. Add logic to ask user if they want digitized or physical version. Auto-close digitized requests to finished queue and email patron to let them know that an alternate copy is available.
