It would also be extremely helpful to have the input field at the top of the page rather than having to scroll all the way down to be able to change the number. I have only once been glad of the default so that I didn't have to scroll through endless pages to find what I need. I have tried to understand the logic but failed so far..... Come on Xero, great progress in other areas, just give us what we need on this!

Cannot believe this has not yet been fixed, I waste so much time. Who only has 25 journals in a period !

No brainer. Ability to change default number of items per page is a must.

This is extremely frustrating. I moved from another accounting package (that I've used for 15 years) to save time with things that Xero can automate that my old package couldn't, and it turns out I waste so much time in Xero switching from 25 items per page to 200. My old accounting package remembered my setting even after signing out and signing back in. I didn't realise how much of a time saver this actually was until I started using Xero and discovered how much of a time-waster it is....

Dear Natalie the researcher at Xero (5/9/25), improve Xero Ledgers for your Partners when we are completing our year-end compliance work by reducing the number of clicks when we process Manual Journals by retaining the 'Showing *** Items Per Page' selected by the user even after moving away from the page, just as Sharon Scales suggested back in 08/2022.

I also agree with this comment: "Also journals page allows to view only 25 items by default. In many companies there are more than 25 journals for 1 month! Need to extend to 200 each time I need to find a journal. Once you click to view a journal and go back, you see again only 25 journals. Very annoying, especially if you need to amend backdated journals. It slows down speed of work!"
It can't be that hard to increase the default number of journals viewable! It is very frustrating.

Can Xero please seriously look into this? This UI issue (whether it's viewing Aged Receivables, Bank Reconciliation, etc.) has been raised by many users for a long time, yet nothing has been done. It's very frustrating!

I like to scan large sets of transactions for outliers or incorrect postings. It's a real nuisance having to expand to 1000 items per page often.

Astounding that this has been raised years ago and nothing has been done. Any business that has larger lists (contacts, inventory etc) would probably like to option to control the number of items showing. It should be part of the set up/layout settings.

It is such a basic request that should be able to be defaulted in the background.

Too few items as default per page, also needs higher quantity 500, 1000 etc
Would be better to have option at top of page to reduce scrolling all the way down to make a selection then back to top to view lines.

I don't understand why this isn't a thing yet - it's so frustrating and time consuming to have to keep changing it every time. Please get it changed as a matter of urgency.

This suggestion was made over two years ago, with several people supporting it since then, and yet no action on it? There must be a lot more people with the same issue who don't know to comment here.

What everyone else has said.
Have to keep cancelling batch payments because it keeps going to 100.
Then change to 200 and redo.
Very frustrating.

Exactly the same as everyone else. Please default to all the items per page.

And please have some indication whether Xero is working to solve the issue or not - it is important to know if it's worth commenting or not.

PLEASE UPDATE preference/program settings so Xero remembers the selected number of items per page.

We would also love to have this option. - And the Send Invoice pop-up window back, please.

Set the Default number of journals to 50 or 100 rather than 25 on the posted tab. Every time you post a journal, it reverts back to 25 showing.

PLEASE UPDATE preference/program settings so Xero remembers selected number of items per page.

Also, it would be great if the customer email populated the Send Invoice pop up window after you click Approve & Send. This disappeared with the new update and its frustrating.

Thank you.

It is so frustrating constantly having to change the items per page every time you go back to it. PLEASE update it so we can set preferences on this or at the very least so that the program remembers our last setting.
