Next Gen UI - Report Header fields

In the old UI, the report fields "Report Key" and "Employee Name" are visible.  In the new UI they are not there.  Is there a way we can configure this ourselves, or if not, please treat this discussion as a request for Concur to enable that data to be visible in Report Header.

 

Report Key - It is important for our users to be able to easily locate the Report Key for identification of the report, any issues etc.

Employee Name - is important for our assistants who can be delegates for up to 100 travellers.  They regularly switch between different profiles and when looking at the Report Header they can’t see the user profile that they are acting as.  It just makes it difficult to be efficient.

 

Our Request: Please add Employee Name and Report Key fields to Report Header screen.

@EdwinaM I received information regarding the Report Key field. In the NextGen UI, the Report Key has been deprecated. Here is the explanation:

"As part of our ongoing updates to enhance security of data and adhere to SW development industry best practices, the Report Key field is deprecated for the NextGen Expense UI, as published as a 'coming change' for multiple months in the NextGen Expense release notes. The Report Key field is a database record key, and as such will be completely phased out over time. This field was made available to the Processor as a tool in reconciliation of errors that may transpire in the data sent to the financial systems (SAE).The Report Key field will not be restored to the Expense User UI, and customers are recommended to use the Report ID as the unique identifier for an expense report."

@EdwinaM hello again. You can submit a help ticket to SAP Concur Support to get those fields turned on and visible. For those acting as others, they can also easily see who they are acting for in the upper right corner highlighted green.
