New Homepage

1. Homepage - Set up multiple views (Basic, Intermediate and Advanced)

   Have a few options so a basic user can cut down on the noise and just have bank accounts and the profit graph, for a new user this would be overwelming.

   Hi everyone, we appreciate the attention this idea has been getting. It's really good to hear how we can continue to improve the Homepage for our differing customers needs. We understand not all the widgets maybe useful to every user, and the 'Customise' button will let you add or remove widgets to reduce what you see on the Homepage.

   Taking on board feedback we're looking at the sizing of widgets and you'll find the 'Chart of Accounts' and 'Cash in and out' widgets are now smaller by default with an option to 'Make larger' - You can follow further updates for this on the idea here.

   We have plans to dig deeper into possible 'view' options (like the different levels of views being asked here) in the new year and I'll share further updates here when this gets picked up. 🙂

2. 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 of the columns as they are). This would add half a widget's width to either side of the widgets area and make the space feel more focused.

   The option could be a switch that appears when the user clicks customise.

   Ultimately, I'd just like to be able to pull the content in from the screen edges.

   Hi 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 provide more clarity on how it works - I'll update you here when these changes are made.

   We appreciate this process is different to how it worked with the Dashboard. We really value hearing your feedback about changes we make in Xero.
