Welcome & Orientation

Aeon 7 is the browser-based staff client for Aeon. It runs the same special collections request management you already know, rebuilt as a modern web application — no desktop install, accessible from any supported browser.

How these docs are organized

• Daily Work for Staff — the everyday workflows: browsing queues, processing requests, managing patrons, sending email, and billing.
• Reading Room, Appointments & Activities — front-desk operations and the appointment calendar.
• Customization & Designers — configure roles and permissions, design forms and cards, and manage the Customization Manager.

New to the web staff client? These orientation pages walk you through the basics:

• What is Aeon 7 (Web Staff Client) — how the web client replaces the desktop client, and the pieces you'll use most: the Command Center dashboard, top-bar navigation, and the global search palette.
• Logging In and Changing Your Password — signing in, choosing your site or site group, recovering from an expired password, and changing your own password.
• Navigating the Workspace — the dashboard, top navigation, search, and the Ctrl+K / ⌘K command palette that ties them together.
• User Permissions and Role-Based Access — how your role decides which menus, buttons, and fields you can see and use.
