Mileage calculator - is there a way to force user to use? for standard edition

[JulieL]

Despite, asking  users to use the mileage calculator to claim mileage, i am realizing that some still don't. Its not obvious for the processor to notice it. So i am wondering if there is a way to force the user to use the mileage calculator?

@JulieL Absolutely you can. There is a configuration option to require the Mileage Calculator. You will need to navigate to the Mileage setup screen (see first screenshot). Once there, take a look at the second screenshot I provided below. You'll see a red arrow pointing at the word Yes. When you click Yes, it will give you a little drop down list where you can choose Required. You can do this for all the car configurations you have set up.

Oh boy, you just made my day, I was expecting that it might be a feature only available in the professional vers. Just turned it on. 

Thanks Kevin

@JulieL I think I should Mic drop and call it a day. :-). Glad I could help.

We are looking into giving our users the option of using Concur Drive or the mileage calculator. Will setting the Allow Maps Integration to Required stop a report from being submitted if the user used Drive and not the calculator?

@tknight84 I looked this up and our knowledge base article says requiring the mileage calculator does not conflict with Concur Drive.
