Support for TLS v 1.0 Encryption Protocol to End – COMPLETEUPDATE: Please note these dates:

Several months ago, Concur announced an End of Support cycle for version 1.0 of the TLS encryption protocol, continuing support for the more secure 1.1 and 1.2 versions of TLS. As background, the TLS protocol allows secure back and forth communications between a phone or computer and a cloud-based service.
Profile
Accessibility Setting in ProfileRecently, we stated that the accessibility feature will no longer be optional and that the feature will be defaulted to ON for all Concur sites.
This change has been delayed. Additional detail will be provided in the August release notes.
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 is Getting a New Look and Improved NavigationThe current Setup navigation links that appear on each of the Setup pages will be reorganised into a central Settings page containing tiles that provide access to each setup page. The tiles will be grouped by business purpose and will contain a brief description of the associated Setup feature to help administrators understand the purpose of the feature. On clicking a tile, for example Users, you would go to the existing Users page that you use today. A navigation breadcrumb provides a path back to the central Settings page.
Concur is aiming to release this update in the August release.
In future releases, Concur will be making additional improvements to some of the Setup features. Additional information will be available in future release notes.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This enhancement will help improve the Setup navigation, and make it easier for new administrators to understand the Setup features and complete the Setup tasks.
**Planned Changes** Quick Tips Section To Be Removed from Concur Solutions PageThe Quick Tips section of the Concur Solutions home page (concursolutions.com) is targeted to be removed in the August service release.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This update simplifies the home page, making it easier to view and access the information on the page.
**Planned Changes** Microsoft IE v.10 Browser Support Ends 18 August 2017Support for Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) version 10 browsers under Concur products will end on 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.
Users still using IE v.10 will see a banner.
