New Navigation & Homepage

  1. The “Favourite” feature in the Reporting section is excellent, please consider expanding this to other dropdowns or sections across the platform.

    This could help address the long-standing need for sub-menu shortcuts or easier navigation, especially for commonly used tools like Repeating Invoices or the Chart of Accounts.

    Note: historically, I’ve used browser bookmarks as a workaround for this. However, recent updates seem to have made these bookmarks unreliable, some now fail to link correctly, and this issue appears to be getting worse. I fear with this update It may no longer be viable to rely on bookmarks as quick links.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes to our new navigation that would mean the most for you.

    We know there are a range of sub menus our customers would find advantageous to have more accessible from the main menu.

    We're tracking feedback on this here, closely and will share if there are any plans made.

  2. I'd prefer to see the Tax Menu consolidated into either the Reporting or Accounting menu. Having more options just adds clutter and unnecessarily overwhelms users.

    Hi team, we appreciate the interest from you all on the new navigation experience.

    We're keen to continue tracking where our customers would find features the most useful in terms of navigation and if there are any changes for the location of Tax I will share with you here.

  3. I would like to customise the columns that appear in the chart of accounts watchlist. I would like have yesterday's closing balance, last month's closing balance, and the change.

    I use the watchlist to monitor clearing accounts, such as daily takings clearing accounts, and being able to spot when a balance has gone awry would be very helpful not only for me but for our team who reconcile these clearing accounts.

    Would be even better if we could add more than one instance of the watchlist then we could have one for clearing accounts with the columns described above, and…

    Really appreciate hearing the detail of why this idea would be useful and how you use the Watchlist on the Homepage.

    We value all the feedback we're receiving on this new experience from our customers here and will share if there are any changes for this planned, here.

  4. Add a widget for tracking categories with current and prior month expenses against each or even the top 5 of each category.

    make the hope page printable to pdf and also for the user to be able to present it to a client or board.

    Interesting thought of how the new homepage experience could be used in different ways, thanks for sharing with us here!

    Our product teams are watching the feedback in these forums with a close eye and we will share if there are any updates for you here.

  5. I would suggest adding "Drafts" to sales and purchases menu.

    Great to be getting this feedback and see the input from our community that are getting a gauge of the new navigation experience. Thank you.

    Our product teams are very close to the different needs being shared from our customers in the forum here and we will keep you updated if there are any plans made around the menu options for Sales.

  6. Watchlist figures should display as per the reporting settings.

    Currently watchlist ONLY displays as accrual accounting... which means it's useless for CASH accounting businesses.

    It would be great if all figures displayed are as per the accounting method of the business.

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing back on the new navigation experience with us here. We understand there are different options that our customers would find most useful within the menu drop downs and our product teams are paying close attention to the feedback we receive on this in Product Ideas. We will share any updates surrounding this with you all here.

  8. Add a widget for tracking categories with current and prior month expenses against each or even the top 5 of each category.

    make the hope page printable to pdf and also for the user to be able to present it to a client or board.

    Great to be getting feedback from our community on the new homepage experience - we thank you for engaging with us here.

    Our product teams are staying close to what our customers are sharing back through the forums here, and we will share if there are any updates around widgets that would getting a view of tracking assignments, here.

  9. Can we add hotkeys for frequently used functions.

    For example

    Search - Alt + S

    Invoice - Alt + I

    Dashboard - Alt + D

    Bank rec - Alt + B
    And etc

    We appreciate some of our customers find keyboard shortcuts very useful for navigating. Thank you for sharing your interest in this with us, here.

    Our product teams are aware of the interest in this here and it would be great to hear more of the specific shortcuts you'd find most useful here. We'll share any updates with you here.

  10. Have a widget for custom reports.

    Be able to access your customised reports from the home screen or at least from a button on the drop-down menu.

    Hi team, just make sure we understand the request here - would this be to purely access custom reports, or is there something you'd also want to be seeing from a visual POV on the Homepage?

    Thanks for engaging with us on this here.

  11. A widget or chatbox where you can leave comments for accountant or business owner?

    Ability to strikeoff and clear the comments/tasks. Ability to add attachments like screenshots or even videos will be a great feature for this widget.

    This widget can sit on dashboard.

  12. Add GST Return due in the tasks box
    A lot of clients miss the reminder from IRD that a GST return is due, as reminder in Tasks would reduce this risk

    Really good to understand the different needs of our customers and can understand why you'd like more visibility of the organisations GST return date.

    Our product team are tuned into the ideas here and tracking the interest this receives closely.

    We'll share if there are any updates. Thanks

    So, just to confirm when you mention a chat box here - this would be an internal mechanism for use between different users within an org? Not related to support or interactions with Xero directly?

    Appreciate your confirmation and sharing with us here.

  14. I love the new homepage and how I can customize to make it less busy. I also love the Task widget. It would be great if there was a month end review widget showing a list of bank and credit card accounts with the last reconciliation date.

    Great to hear the information that would have the most meaning to you. Thanks for sharing through Xero product Ideas.

    Our product teams are carefully reviewing the feedback we're receiving from our customers on this new experience and if there are any updates we will let you know.

  15. 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

  16. I would prefer Projects to remain with its own Menu dropdown on the Homepage, not included under the Sales menu. I like the introduction of the "Expenses to review" and "Recent Invoice payments", but I would prefer to see them as a sub-menu from the Homepage dropdowns, not on the homepage.

    Hi 👋thanks for sharing this with us here, it's great to hear you're familiarising yourself with the new navigation and homepage.

    We'll start getting a gauge of the interest from other users in this and we'll share of any changes planned.

  17. It would be great for those that have various type of color blindness to be able to change the color, say the user has an issue with the color red or green, being able to change the color would be beneficial.

    Thanks for letting us know changes that could improve your experience with the new homepage. It's great to have your feedback on Product ideas here.

    We're keeping an eye on what our customers are sharing back here and if there are any updates to share we will let you know, here.

  18. Great Change
    Upcoming changes are very useful. However, a small suggestion re. the home page menu: As an Accountant in practice would like the following order.

    Home
    Accounting
    Sales
    Purchases
    Payroll
    Reporting
    Tax and
    Contacts.

    We're paying close attention to everything our community is sharing about the new navigation here and if there are any plans made around the ordering we will let you know.

  19. Will Dark Mode be a feature you're adding?

    We've been waiting and been rebuffed for years now

    Thanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Idea's. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

    Your feedback will soon be reviewed by our Community team, and in the meantime this can begin to build support with votes from other community members.

    If you're interested to see recent releases or get a pulse on what's coming soon see The Long and Short of it. 🙂

  20. Please make it so that the user can begin typing immediately upon pressing the Search Magnifying Glass Icon. The new Search Magnifying Glass Icon button for this prototype needs to be manually clicked on twice before anything can be typed in via keyboard due to the cursor not automatically placing itself inside the search box that pops up. This is bad.
