How could Xero improve navigation or homepage?

Navigation - Freeze bar at the top of the page to save scrolling

Can the main pull down bar (Dashboard, Business, Accounting, Projects, Contacts) be fixed at the top of the page? When viewing a screen that has 100 or more lines, it would be a lot more convenient to have immediate access to this than having to scroll all the way back up.

Hi team, we appreciate all the feedback this idea has received over time. With our reimagined navigation this is something our product teams considered closely, however there is a bit of work involved to achieve what's being asked and we want to be open it's not in the roadmap right now. However, we're keeping a pulse on the feedback here and will be sure to share if there's any progress. Thanks

    Commented on this some time back and still see it as important. The home button on the keyboard helps in the interim.

    the blue ribbon on top should be frozen to have quick access to different activities (blocks) like ribbon & headings in Excel. scrolling up and down with mouse is annoying, takes a lot of time.

    Can you freeze the blue banner at the top of the screen. This helps when bank reconciling or looking through large reports and you need to navigate to another part of Xero

    I can't believe that with the amount of users Xero has, that this is not a priority and has not just been fixed or implemented from the beginning.

    Please just have a fix implemented, this is a big efficiency issue which in the end creates a cost.

    Is there a way to escalate this? As the only reason I knew this was an idea was due to customer support saying they know it is an issue, but you can vote here as a handball. The problem with ideas, is that for me to find and idea like this one, I have to use the same wording, which would never find this as it was "Is there a way to make the menu pinned, always on top or sticky to the top of the page all the time for quick access?"

    Xero is a platform with the intention to help business save time, so please Xero work as a team with your subscribers to better the system for all of us.

    This seems like such a basic thing and, as an interface idea, development of this idea should not affect any database functionality. Thank you @Kelly Munro for giving some idea on how to work around it, but it really should be implemented in the software interface. Thank you

    Can we please have the top blue header menu (i.e. the one with Dashboard, Business, Accounting etc) fixed at the top of the screen so that when I scroll down it stays at the top of the screen - especially on the reconciliation screen?

    It is a lot of scrolling every client, every day.

    Fix the top 2 ribbons (Client -blue & account- white) in Xero, so that you don't have to scroll back to the top to open another screen. Or have the ability to fix them. It is a lot of scrolling every client.

  • Anna Ferris commented  ·   ·  Report

    Could the main blue Xero bar at the top of the page with all the options on stay fixed at the top so even if you are at the bottom of the page you can choose where to go next rather than having to scroll back to the top of the page each time?

  • Amanda Knowles commented  ·   ·  Report

    A pretty rudimentary software feature.....I wonder sometimes if the developers even use the software.

  • Lundi Koen commented  ·   ·  Report

    Make the blue header at the top (ie blue row showing company name and menu items) a sticky header.

  • Joanne B Coker commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please freeze the top two banners so that we can navigate the file without scrolling or tabbing to the top everytime. This would be useful when searching, looking through a large list of AP or AR or reconciling, payroll reports and to go to another client file - and to remind us which client file we are in on a busy day !!

    Now that we can have 50 transactions in a bank account, it would be nice if you could pin the top of the screen so we can click on the Dashboard, Business, Accounting, Contacts, etc. tabs even if we're at the bottom of the page so we don't have to scroll all the way back up.

  • Terri Scott commented  ·   ·  Report

    What about freezing the Bank Account name under the blue bar ... so while reconciling you can easily see which bank account you are working on without losing your place, especially when you are reconciling transfers between accounts and you have multiple tabs open, one for each bank account.

    1. The ability to pin/unpin or the permanent pinning of the Xero Menu (the blue bar at the top of the Xero page) in all pages of Xero. This will help us to easily navigate and use the Search bar at the upper right of the Xero Menu. Easier navigation, meaning opening links from the Menu in another tab for easier multi tasking.

    This will make bank reconciliation and reporting easier, and we do not need to scroll up for longer time just to go back to the Xero Menu or use the Search Bar.

    2. You can also have an icon called (Back to Top of the Page) added at the bottom right of the page whenever user are scrolling down which will enable users to reach the top of the page quickly. This is in the new bank reconciliation page.

    Realizing that the upgraded bank reconciliation (in which we are not subjected to 10 pages per transaction anymore and contains up to 50 items now) had us scrolling longer time to reach the top of the page. A link at the bottom can ease access to the Menu and Search Bar

  • Sue Packer commented  ·   ·  Report

    The blue menu bar at the top of each tab. Can this be frozen at the top of each tab. This will then be easily accessible. For example, the bank reconciliation now has 50 lines to a page. When want to create a bill, invoice, search contact you have too scroll to the top of the page.
