Homepage - Ability to remove graphs for invoices and bills
Please include the option to turn off the graphs for the 'invoices owed to you' and 'bills to pay'. I know people might like seeing the visual, but I just want to see the dollar value, and the graph just makes the widget too big so I can't see the other things I want to see at a glance. Thanks.
30 votesHi team, we appreciate our customers differing needs and while we don't have any immediate plans to add an option to remove graphs this is an idea that we'll keep a close watch on here. If you have colleagues that'd like the same please make sure to share this idea so they can vote too.
We'll be sure to let you know if there are any updates.

Invoicing – Integrated Job Planning and Approval
Create a buisness planner to plan your work force to a job site with costings for the job all on the app , when the job is marked as finished the invoice gets marked as ready to send requiring approval without the extra admin of retyping everything out its all there and nothing is lost track off. You could plan lorrys from it too would be a huge competetive edge.
1 voteHi Mark, we hear you—having work and invoicing more connected could make things feel smoother and help reduce the chance of missing items.
Some people use Xero Projects to track time and expenses against a job and bring those details into invoices. Another approach is the Quote to Invoice flow: you can raise a quote when a customer requests a job, mark it as accepted once they agree to the price, and then, when the job is complete, copy the quote to an invoice. This automatically populates invoice fields with the information from the quote, helping save time and reduce manual entry.
You can try these approaches in the Demo Organisation to see how they might work for your workflow.
This idea has been moved to Gaining Support, and we’d love to hear from others about which parts of your workflow you’d most like to see more connected.

Bank Reconciliation - Show number of lines 'Auto-reconciled' since last login
Add the number of transactions that have been auto reconciled (since last login) for each bank account so that we need to check the auto reconciled transactions rather than think that there is nothing to reconcile. Now we have to drill down into each account to check if there was anything and this takes longer than reconciling the transactions in the first place, making it easier to turn off the auto reconcilie functionality.
1 voteHi Kathy, a quick “recap” of what’s happened while you were away could be really useful—especially when automation is handling a lot of the work, it’s reassuring to have that confirmation without having to dig through transactions.
For now, you can review all reconciled statement lines via “View all reconciled” from the last date you previously checked. It does take manual effort to remember the exact date, but it’s a practical workaround for now.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support, and it’d be great to hear from you and others about how you’d use a summary feature—your examples really help the team understand its potential impact.

Homepage - Independent accounting basis toggle for Account Watchlist
We use cash basis for reporting, but utilize the COA watchlist in the accrual basis.
Having the ability to choose your accounting basis on the Chart of Account watchlist would allow users to take full advantage of the COA watchlist without having to change their reporting basis to one basis to utilize the watchlist and back to the other for reporting.
11 votesHi there,
Thanks for sharing this idea!
I can see how frustrating it is to have to jump back and forth into your Advanced Settings just to get the view you need on your dashboard.
The Account Watchlist is meant to give you a quick "at-a-glance" look at your numbers, and having to change your global reporting basis to make it useful definitely adds extra steps to your day.
I’ve assessed this and moved it to Gaining Support. This will allow our product team to see how many other users are running their operations on a different basis than their compliance reporting.
I’ve also updated your title to: Dashboard - Independent accounting basis toggle for Account Watchlist to make it easier for others to find and vote on.
In the meantime, while the dashboard widget is tied to your global settings, you can save a custom version of the…

Homepage - Option to hide notifications (Payment services, switch back to old version, etc)
An option to get rid of the message across the top of the Home page telling us that we can switch back to the old Homepage for a short time. All it does is take up valuable realestate.
16 votesThanks for sharing this, where you'd like an option to hide notifications like this one from the menu banner, and free up some space on the screen.
We've reviewed this. and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. You might like to share this idea with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes and comments about how they'd like this too!

Homepage - Remove app recommendations
How do I remove the ads from the Homepage? If I wanted extra widgets I would go looking.
If the product is missing features then Xero should be implementing them as part of the base package if I am paying a subscription.
15 votesWe appreciate your feedback, Scott. This is something we'll start to get a sense of the feeling around from community here, however I want to be upfront that this isn't something we have plans to remove atm. Thanks

Homepage - Bank balance widget chart
The new homepage layout removed the 6-month historic bank account balance chart, so now we're only left with a 1-month view in the bank accounts tab.
Can you consider having an option to display the balance history chart on the home page widget once again, or make the chart on the bank accounts tab configurable to display the previous 1/3/6/12 months? It might also be worth considering an option to project the next 1 month balance based upon known income and expenses.
38 votesHi there!
Thanks for sharing such detailed feedback on the bank balance charts.
I’ve categorized this as Gaining Support. While we don't roll back to previous versions of the homepage, I’ve refined your idea to focus on making the balance charts configurable (1, 3, 6, or 12 months).
This covers your need for historical data while allowing for future flexibility.
Since our forum works best with one idea per post, I've focused on the chart visibility first. I’d recommend raising the "balance projection" as a separate suggestion so it can be voted on individually!

Dashboard - Ability to set default dashboard for all users within the organisation
When customising the homepage view, it would be helpful to have the option to set that customised layout as the default view for all users.
This would make sure everyone logging into the file sees the same key information and widgets to keep everyone aligned
10 votesThanks for sharing this here. Currently the reason for this functionality to not exist is because the home page for all users may not appear the same. In particular, the users with the same permission roles will get the same view.
We've moved this idea to gain more support from the community. You can share this with your peers and colleagues so they can add their vote onto it as well!

Homepage | Widget for next Payroll
Next Payroll Wiget for Homepage
When the new homepage was launched, I was hoping for a widget that had the link to the next scheduled payroll, the draft amount, the due date, leave to approve, timesheets to approve, last payroll (perhaps), super payments, etc. Layout could be like the 'Bills to pay' widget without the chart. Given that in Australia, SGC will need to be paid each payroll, that draft amount could also be added in the widget, linking to the Super payments module.16 votesThanks for your idea and feedback here in the forums, Michael. Our product teams are still working on enhancements to the homepage and we'll keep a watchful eye on the interest in a payroll widget like you've described here.
I'll let you know if there are any updates to share around this.

Homepage | Bank accounts - Toggle/option to conceal bank balances
On the Dashboard and Bank Accounts pages, the bank balance could be greyed out for better privacy. There could be a simple toggle control to hide and show the numbers on the screen.
3 votesGood to hear your feedback on what improvements you'd like to see in the new homepage, Pete.
We'll start to gauge interest in this from community here and I'll share if there are any plans made.

Homepage | Profit & Loss - Common date selections (like report)
Why don't I have the same Time period options in the 'Net Profit and Loss' widget as I do on the actual report page?
I want to be able to see CURRENT month, quarter, etc on my home page and not just previous.
Inconvenient to have to click on the report and then change the time period manually every time I want to see how the month is tracking instead of just having the option directly on the homepage.14 votesAppreciate the feedback, Andreas. Good to hear the different sections that would be handy to you from the homepage.
This isn't somethign we have plans for right now, but will start to gather interest in from the community here.
I'll share if there are any updates.

Homepage - Add Draft Bills
Ability to have a widget that lists Draft Bills. We leverage the Xero API to load expenses but they sit in Draft until coded. This would provide a 'To Do list'
5 votesHi Uri, from the Bills to pay widget you'll see there is a summary of Draft bills which if you click will take you directly to your list of Draft bills to review.
Does this meet the needs of what you're after here?

Homepage | Invoices owed to you widget - Move new invoice button to top
The "Invoices owed to you" widget NEEDS to have the "new invoice" button on top as before. What do we do with XERO besides accounting? Create invoices, and having to scroll down this widget is useless as ...... (fill in the blank). It's a very simple display change.
4 votesAppreciate you raising this with us here, Fred.
This is something we're monitoring feedback of and would be good to hear from others on your idea here that'd also appreciate this option further up the widget.
As another simple way of creating an invoice there's the keyboard shortcut '/i' that'll open Search with an option to create 'New invoice'.

Homepage | NZ Tax - IRD's Live Filing Statistics as a Widget
With the XPM link to MyIR START, is it possible to have IRD's live filing statistics for the agency as a widget.
6 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.
Did you know you can join our Xero Research panel to be involved in early testing and research? Find out more and sign up through our website 🙂

Homepage | Bills to pay - Ability to drag & drop files for bills
Provide a widget where you can drop any bill, expense or invoice, right on the homepage for Xero to analyse.
7 votesHi Tom and John, not a direct drag & drop to a widget on the homepage, however from the 'Bills to pay' widget you can click Add bill > Upload bills which will direct you to Bills and pre-open the upload modal. 🙂
This isn't something we have direct plans of right now, but will get a feel of the interest from the community for the idea here.
It'd be good to track interest in this feature for Bills and Expenses separately as widget enhancements would typically be reviewed individually. I've created a new idea for this in Expenses and added you both to this for any updates.

Homepage - View total cash in banks (like on the app)
There is a widget to show our 3 bank accounts and their balances, but there is nothing that shows the total cash in bank amount?
When I log on in the app the first thing I see is the total amount of money in all our bank accounts combined. Why is it not the same when using windows?
22 votesGood to hear that you find this feature in the app useful, Shaun. These experiences differ as our Xero Accounting apps teams have a focus on the most valuable features our customers would find when doing work 'on-the-go'.
We'll get a sense of the interest in community for this here, and I'll share if there is any progress.

Homepage - Ability to cap / fix the number of columns
I have a wide screen (normal width for a monitor, but wide compared to a tablet or laptop) which facilitates 4 widgets horizontally (the limit, after some testing).
The widgets take up the entire space horizontally, leaving no space either side, and feels cramped as a result. This is a break from a pretty long-standing web-design principle to which even the page I'm typing this suggestion into adheres (having about 10-15% margin/padding either side of your main content where space allows).
I'd love the option to cap the number of widget colums to 3 instead of 4 (keeping the width…
91 votesHi everyone, we appreciate and want to thank everyone for feedback on the responsiveness of the new Homepage. This has been shared back with our product teams as they continue to develop this experience.
At this stage, there are no plans to fix the number of columns when using the Homepage. However, our team will continue to monitor usage on this closely.
One recent change we’ve introduced is that the Homepage layout can be saved at each screen size.
For example, if you set up and save the Homepage layout for your laptop and then move to a larger monitor you’ll see this adapt. However, if you ‘edit’ the Homepage and save the layout separately from your monitor Xero will remember the layout for each screen size. You should only need to do this once for each screen you use.
We’re looking at enhancing the edit layout experience soon to…

Homepage - Projects widget with time and amount visuals
Hi,
My first thought is that the home page is overly busy. The graphs are great but there is A LOT going on. We have more than one bank account so that would make the homepage even busier. The task widget is a great idea but the recent invoice payments and chart of accounts aren't really useful for us. We would want to remove widgets that aren't used.It would be great to have a projects widget showing project time use and amount on the homepage.
Love the improved navigation at the top especially the reporting and tax tabs. This…
11 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts on the new navigation and homepage, Louise! I've just updated the title of your idea to help other members find and we can track the interest in a Projects widget.
We also have a couple of ideas related to simplifying the layout like you mentioned, and another for bolding of the navigation headings that you may like to vote for.

Homepage - Inventory widget that shows when stock is low
Have the graph for the home screen with the inventory stock and flagging items with low stock.
7 votesThanks for your idea here, Sergii. Really good to hear what our customers would find most useful to get a visual of from the homepage.
We're beginning to track the interest for an Inventory widget that'd show low stocks from your idea here and I'll share if there are any updates.
