Allow the SSN field to be seen and used in web view
MANY organizations have repurposed this field to be an internal ID (employee ID, students ID, etc). We cannot move any of our operations into web view until we have this field available to us there. We need it for reference and for filtering.
We use this at our organization for payroll deduct donations. This is a vital field and also ensures that when staff (we keep them in our system) are not duplicated if they have a name or address change and we try to enter them again this will prevent us from doing this. We absolutely need this feature in web view at some point.
The need for this field is vital to our organization. We use it to store student ID information that is unique to each student to avoid duplicate records when importing. We also need this ID information when communicating with the College to verify we are dealing with the right student. We do not use the same systems, so it is imparative that we have the ablilty for store information in the SS field.
We also use SSN for our college ID (students & staff). We prefer this field b/c it is one of the fields allowed for import and because it only allows a unique entry per constituent, it flags us if we try to enter a constituent who's ID is already in the system. Our IDs stay with students even if they become staff, so it's a wonderful way to confirm that a person is the same and is not a duplicate. Losing this functionality in the move to webview would not be ideal.
Julie's suggestion is exactly accurate - many of my clients use this field for importing staff payroll gifts, and other imports - ability to search and see in web view is important!
Critical to our student system integration - and the field is indexed, preventing duplicates. Very important!

Is there a timeline for this to be implemented?
It is one of the important fields to track the duplicate constituent. Highly recommended.
