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.

Add Route menu and Save button to the new Appointments window
The new and enhanced appointments window in the client has many great options. What would make this window even more functional is adding the Route Menu to the top menu. With this added, we can then, post-appointment confirmation, route all the associated requests to the queue where they need to be (as well as check materials out from here as well). In addition, if we can have a Save button in addition to Save and Close, that would be good too.

Confirm Appointment button should default to Confirm & Email
If an email is not desired, staff can choose the Confirm only option. Or add a key to determine the default behavior.

Add "Print Request" button to User Appointment ribbon
Hi,
We would love to see Aeon add the "Print Request" button to User Appointment ribbon. For offsite materials, printing a duplicate callslip is unnecessary and these print request pick lists are helpful for our paging procedures.
Thanks!

Aeon Appointments: Add a way to handle schedule changes in advance
Ex: We are going to have renovations this summer and we will shift the Wednesday hours from 11-6, with lunch recess from 1-2 to 10am-5pm with lunch from 12-1. I want to only change the calendar for the 3 months of summer. My concern is that if I change the official reading room schedule it will impact the availability in the fall and other people planning their future visits to the library outside of our altered summer schedule.
The only current workaround for this is to update the open hours and then create exceptions for all dates that do not currently fit that schedule. This is onerous…

Edit invalid appointment time
The error message users get when trying to create an appointment outside of valid hours currently it says: "Validation error: Conflict with existing appointment."
This status message comes from the Aeon DLL and cannot be edited. It would be great if this was added as a configurable status message in the Customization Manager.

Ability to remove the fax option from the NotificationMethod field
A few libraries have requested this option. They would like to remove the fax option from the standard NotificationMethod drop-down. These options are hardcoded and cannot be controlled in the custom drop-down table in the customization manager. We did create a custom field with the necessary configurations, and updated the relevant registration web pages. One library, New York State Archives, is experiencing bugginess with this custom field because they have an unusual workflow for creating patrons. Purdue University, University of Tulsa, Cal State LA, and University of Washington also asked for the fax option to be removed.

Automated routing of requests once Appointment is confirmed
In the new Appointments confirmation process, requests still need to be routed to Appointment Confirmed (for example), and since there is no Route menu on the Appointments window (I think that's another enhancement), it's some extra steps for staff.
Would it be possible to have the option so when an appointment is confirmed using the Confirm button on the Appointment window, all associated requests are automatically routed to Appointment Confirmed? (Kind of like how hitting Print Callslip routes requests automatically into Item Being Paged.)

Add ability to change language for cancellations on the web
In the cancelled list of requests in the web Aeon account, the reason for cancellation says 'Cancelled by Customer' (this is hard-coded and not a reason for cancellation that we can change). We would love to be able to change the language because we do not refer to our patrons/researchers as customers and it might be confusing as well.

Length of appointment should accurately reflect available length on each day
Purdue University allows for all day appointments, so their longest time span is 9 hours. However, there is one day where they open for 8 hours. Their hours are set up correctly for each day, but the "9 hours" option still displays on the 8-hour day, most likely from the Maximum Appointment Length setting. If the patron selects the "9 hours' option, there are no available appointment times to choose from in the Appointment Time field.

Appointments - besides Status-specific appointment settings, allow for other fields to determine appointment settings
New York State Archives would like for other fields, specifically the Organization field, to be another field, like Status, that would allow for granular appointment settings. Patrons from some organizations will need more flexibility for appointment availability based on their research needs and schedules.

Add more granular location data mapping to ArchivesSpace Fulfillment Plugin
Some institutions would like to bring isolated location data from ArchivesSpace into Aeon. Consider adding mapping for location coordinate label 1, coordinate indicator 1, coordinate label 2, coordinate indicator 2, coordinate label 3, coordinate indicator 3, (6 fields total) to allow for more discrete location information.

Photoduplication - block requests once a patron has reached a page limit
From the University of Tulsa: Some of our collections contain huge troves of unpublished manuscripts, which has caused issues with copyright violations. Patrons can request scans of up to 200 pages from a single collection in a 6-month period. Is there a feature that will help us automate that policy? Flagging accounts, or blocking those requests from going through once the system records that a patron has successfully received a certain page count, or even stopping the request before it goes to submission?

Notification when closing Aeon if users are still signed into a reading room
Sometimes people forget to sign users out of the reading room at the end of the day, due to various factors. Would it be possible to have a pop-up notification that appears when the Aeon application is being closed, saying 'there are still users signed into the reading room'? This way, staff will be reminded to sign those users out before closing Aeon at the end of the day.
