    Huge productivity benefit if Find & Recode can search on descriptions, not
    just contact

  • Elin Bark commented  ·   ·  Report

    Would be great to be able to search by description and using things like "contains" like in excel so that when clients use descriptors with placeholders that change you could search for part of the description and it looked at it across all contacts etc.

    Since there is a Description field, we should be able to use it to filter information to find and recode.

  • Tyler Barker commented  ·   ·  Report

    It actually seems silly that you can sort by every other field EXCEPT for the most useful one. Seems like it's been done on purpose.

  • Brendan Lim commented  ·   ·  Report

    Being able to Find and Recode by Description (as opposed to Reference) is more useful as bank feeds and bank reconcilitation more often uses the Description field per line item rather than the Reference field per transaction

  • Cameron McPherson commented  ·   ·  Report

    Surely this is as simple as ticking a box to allow one more field in the list that's already included! Would save a lot of time given the bank rec feature often adds into to the description field.

    To be able to Find by description would be amazing

  • Dave Turnbull commented  ·   ·  Report

    Find and recode by description would be really useful. We have updated our chart of accounts and need to recode, but going to be a long job without ability to do this.

    I completely agree, especially for someone like me who needs to recode different transaction lines.

  • David Forster commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be such a great addition to the find & recode option. I can filter in say Account Transactions using description with a contains option. Why is this not included as am option in Find & Recode? I understand that there is likely to be a big impact on performance BUT..... In short, this would be a real help in our business!

    Every year I need to tidy up my accounts and every year I can't believe this still hasn't been implemented.

    These Xero developers need to learn from LimeBooks

  • Tyler Barker commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's mad to think that the sorting option actually greys out the option to sort by description. Xero have actually thought about it and instead of allowing to sort by all columns, they purposefully STOP us from doing this. It's ludicrous, don't they know how people work or are they being daft on purpose?

    I wish they would stop coming out with new unfinished features, and instead focus on making the existing software work better.
