Enter your idea

For the love of God, please let me get rid of that entity. It drives me nuts!

Indeed 10 years! This new format did not import all of the comments and requests from the original forum version.

This has to be one of the easiest fixes and yet for some reason Xero just ignores the obvious. Who needs Demo company after setup?!

Please sort this out, it is very annoying!

For a time I was posting a link to this thread in everything they put on their Xero Facebook posts, but that was ignored. Perhaps there is an invisibility cloak configured?

I suspect the Meme idea is highly likely "can we make it to 10 YEARS of ignoring this request".

It's truly perplexing that Xero staff haven't posted a comment.

I think this post has already become a MEME in their office, and they simply want to see how far can they push it in ******* all the people commenting here which I believe they are laughing their ***** off at.

At this point, you can write anything you want in here, or add any memes. This thread is a mess :)) I don't care.

Whilst this is not "mission critical" it's very bloody annoying that after almost 10yrs of people ASKING YOU TO DO THIS that here we are -- same old same old and all of us as frustrated as ever by the complete disregard of this simple request.

Just do it and show that you actually care about us subscribers 🫤

Please come up with a way to delete the Demo company. It is extremely annoying

I believe it's slated for implementation in 2034, it will be awesome to see this idea come to fruition after 2 decades.

Dear Xero team,

You shared this so-called 'idea', 9 years ago!

What is the purpose of voting on this "product-ideas-to-be-ignored" page?

Having a Demo company on your customers' portals and not giving them the control to delete or hide it, is an Information Security risk and a serious system design flaw for any Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application.

It is an attack surface that is unmonitored and unadministrable from your customers' IT, Finance and Information Security teams.

It should not be dismissed by putting up for a vote by your customers and then simply ignoring their annoyance, frustration and patience.

This is not merely a product feature request idea. This is a User Interface and Information Security design flaw that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

All of your customers have a responsibility to demonstrate due care and diligence has been taken. On a demo system, there may well be live data, that has not been anonymized. Without proper governance of these demo systems, there's a good chance they will be non-compliant with GDPR regulations, and consequently at risk of heavy fines.

In this state of affairs, Xero will not be trusted. Implementing the SOC 2 framework for information security controls for service organizations would be a good start for Xero to gain that trust.

Please provide feature to remove demo company for Xero Mobile App as annoying when switching between 2 companies with Xero

This is a really simple and easy feature to fix. It is so frustrating having it in the list of my companies. Please just make this feature live.

Please remove!!

Crazy that this is still an issue after all these years. And so simple to fix!

It's probably time Xero listened to its users. I have never used anything else since we started our business 10 years ago. The demo company is irrelevant and doesn't need to be there anymore.

Can't believe its still not a thing

Yes yes please remove or have the ability to hide.

It's annoying to see, at least let us hide it from the menu and access it from settings or something logical please..

I wouldn't mind if it was treated like all other organizations and went to the bottom of the list if not used. But it stays in the top five for no reason at all.

Please remove!
