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 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!

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