New App Centre Connection Flow – Enterprise Application Self-Service ConnectionsConcur has added support for self-service connections to Enterprise applications from the App Centre. For applications that have enabled this connection flow, administrators can connect their Concur implementation to enterprise partner integrations directly from the App Centre.
While connecting to an application, the administrator may see up to three types of terms and conditions, depending on the app:
- Concur App Centre End-User Terms & Conditions. These are the basic terms of use for individual users in the App Centre. You will be asked to accept these terms only once.
- Shared Information. This states the specific information that will be shared with the partner. This is specific to the partner integration you are connecting to. You will be asked to accept these terms for each application.
- Customer Authorisation to Link Accounts. These are the basic terms of use for company-wide integrations. Your company will be asked to accept these terms only once.
After accepting the terms and conditions, the administrator is directed to the partner's site to set up their administrator account and complete the connection process.
The first app using this connection flow is Uber for Business.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This connection flow simplifies the process when integrating your Concur implementation with Enterprise partners. In addition, the App Centre provides a more unified and secure experience when an administrator connects your company to an Enterprise app.
Quick Tips Section Removed from Concur Solutions PageWith this release, Concur has removed the Quick Tips section of the Concur Solutions home page (concursolutions.com).
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This update simplifies the home page, making it easier to view and access the information on the page.
Microsoft IE v.10 Support Ends 18 August, 2017Support for Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) version 10 browsers under Concur products now ends 18 August 2017. Concur strongly advises clients using IE v.10 to update to the latest IE browser version before that date, or to install and work with another supported browser.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This update reminds employees that the version of Internet Explorer they are using is obsolete and they should upgrade in consultation with their organisation.
Planned Changes
The items in this section are targeted for future releases. Concur reserves the right to postpone implementation of – or completely remove – any enhancement/change mentioned here.
**Planned Changes** Setup Has New Look and Improved NavigationThe current Setup navigation links that appear on each of the Setup pages will be reorganised into a central Product Settings page containing sections, defined by business purpose, which contain links and brief descriptions for the Setup pages, to help administrators understand the purpose of each feature. On clicking a link, for example Users, you would go to the existing Users page that you use today. A navigation breadcrumb trail provides a path back to the central Product Settings page.
In future releases, Concur will be making additional improvements to some of the Product Settings features. Additional information will be available in future release notes.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This enhancement will help improve the Setup feature navigation, and make it easier for new administrators to understand the Product Settings features and complete the Setup tasks.
**Planned Changes** Upload Receipts Link Now Goes Directly to Available ReceiptsOn the Concur home page, the existing link to upload receipts (New > Upload Receipts) will take users to the Available Receipts section of the main Expense page.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: The change allows users to upload receipts more efficiently.
