Update Background Images on the Sign-In PageWith this release, images on the sign-in page will be updated to a new quarterly selection of images.
Users by Browser Report Available in CSV OnlyThe Users by Browser report is available to all admins working with the Expense, Request, Invoice, and/or Travel offerings in both the Professional and Standard product editions.
With this release, the report is available only in CSV format.
This CSV file contains the following fields: Login Name, Email, First Name, Last Name, Last Login Date, IP Address, Login Count, Browser, and Browser version.
Business Purpose/Client Benefit: The report shows admins if users have outdated or unsupported browsers. CSV is the most widely used data format.
Upload Images Link Now Goes Directly to Available ReceiptsOn the Concur home page, the existing link (for those who have the 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.
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 reorganized 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** In-Product Messaging for EuropeThe messaging that is presented to each US user is based on data provided by a well-known US-based "recommendation" engine. That engine, however, is not the best fit for the stricter laws in the European Union (EU). So, in an effort to comply with the EU laws, Concur developed its own recommendation engine for its In-Product Messaging System.
Early Access customers in the EU will be contacted by a Concur representative before enabling this feature. After 60 days, this feature could be enabled for all other customers in EU. Also, since the new system will provide a better all-around IPM experience for Concur customers, US customers will soon use the new system, too.
Just like today for US users – the content, timing, location, and frequency of a message are all defined by each message campaign and by the characteristics of each company and each user.
