**Planned Changes** Check In Location and Request Assistance Safety Feature UpdatesThe new Check In Location and Request Assistance screens were described last month.
Starting with the August release, these options will be available only for iPhone/iPad users whose company uses Concur Risk Messaging.
Expense Swipe OptionsThe Concur mobile app has added new simple swipe actions for existing expenses. This new option simplifies the reporting experience by making actions on expense entries more accessible to users.
Users can now swipe from the right to left to perform the following actions on existing expenses:
- For a receipt item, delete or create an expense entry
- For a credit card charge, e-receipt or an expense, delete or move to a claim
- For analysing receipts, delete or stop the analysis process
- For failed analysis, delete or retake the image or create an expense
For a credit card charge, e-receipt or expense, the user can delete or move it to an expense claim. To do so, the user swipes the charge/e-receipt/expense. When the user taps Move, the Select Claim screen appears. The user can create a new claim or select an existing claim.
For a receipt, the user can delete the receipt or use the receipt to create a mobile expense. To do so, the user swipes the receipt. When the user taps Expense, the receipt appears on the Expense screen. The user completes the fields and taps Save.
