Hi Katie,
Yale Special Collections could leverage Activity emails in a number of ways: reminding participants that the event is upcoming and their selections are needed by some date; that the exhibit is over and that preparators are expected to rehouse material by some date; that the item out to vendor has been returned for QC at A-unit and is expected to return to B-unit by staff-member XYZ -- you name it.
The most pressing need for us, though, is that most Yale repositories share the same Aeon instance: when we use the Notify Users button in the Activity, the message comes from the Aeon default email address, which for this instance is my department. If staff from other repositories want to use this feature, it appears that their Activity notification is coming from my repository, not theirs, leading to confusion among faculty, students, and others who aren't conversant with our Aeon instance's peculiarities.
Another solution would be to somehow allow transaction email templates (which are functionally limitless) to be able to pull from the Activity Database. As of right now, even when employing Activity database tags in such a template, Activity data (beyond the Activity ID associated with the specific transaction) cannot be imported into transaction emails -- well, at least as far as I have been able to discern!

Many of the Yale special collection units live and die by using activities. I strongly recommend implementing a dropdown for Activity-specific notification emails from the Manage tab in the Activity Information window of the Aeon staff client.
It appears that in Aeon 4.0.4.0 one may no longer select and copy an individual cell from a line item in the grid overview. In past versions of Aeon, one could click on item info field from a line item, copy, and then paste elsewhere the data that the cell comprised.
Like now, the entire line item would be highlighted in blue, but one could see a dashed lasso around the individually-selected cell. In 4.0, the entire row is surrounded by the dashed lasso.
Thus, copying and pasting results in this (note, though, that I removed sensitive data):

Is it possible to patch this to regain the copying feature?
