  2. The new layout is harder to follow multiple bank accounts and its says "reconciled" when you still have items to reconcile which is confusing. You need to look for the green reconcile button and ignore the word reconciled.

  3. 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.

    Hearing the different ways our customers would find tasks on the new homepage experience most useful is really valuable. Thanks for sharing your interest in being able to attach files with us here.

    Right now, our product teams are considering all the feedback we're receiving from our customers on this new experience, and we will share if there are any updates for this with you.

  4. The Cash In & Cash Out tab could benefit from the ability to determine if the cash in OR cash out is from P&L items or Balance Sheet Items.

    For instance if a large cash injection occurred from the director you'd have a large cash in, which wouldnt match the profit. In contrast, a payment of liabilities for tax/gst may impact cash flow and skew the results for cash out.

    The suggestion would be for a stacked/filtered view on the IN and the OUT bars, to either display the stacked cash in (on top of each other), for P&L and…

  6. Add a net cash movement line (cash in minus cash out) overlaid on the Cash In & Out widget.

    This would let business owners instantly see whether cash is actually building or eroding over time, without running reports or exporting data.

    A net cash overlay (or toggle) would make the dashboard far more useful for real-world cashflow decision-making.

    Hi Regan, we can see how having a net cash movement line would be a real time-saver. While the bars for money coming in and going out give a good sense of activity, having that “bottom line” plotted as a trend would make it much easier to see your actual cash flow health at a glance.

    At the moment, the Cash In and Out widget already shows cash in, cash out, and the difference, where a cash in net shows as a positive difference and vice versa. For a more detailed view, head to Short-term Cash Flow under the Reporting menu to explore trends and movements beyond the main dashboard.

    I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can see how many in the community would find a net cash line useful. If this is something that would make your day-to-day easier, add your vote or share your experience—hearing…

  7. The font is too fine and hard to read. The font size of 'balance difference', 'reconciled' etc is a bit too small

    Appreciate your feedback here Mary. While we don't have immediate plans around changing of the fonts, we'll gauge a sense of this from others in the community here. We will monitor this space for any updates!

  9. 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…

  10. In the tasks, it should report on the bills that are due to be paid in x period - whether that be a week or fortnight - user should be able to set it based on frequency of using the file.

    This would act as a prompt to ensure payment is made.

    In addition, there has not been a solution to recording a credit card statement due for payment. Being able to record the amount due and due date would really help! Fixing this would also be extremely useful

    Thanks for sharing your ideas around the new homepage with us here!

    We've reviewed your idea and now will be keeping a close eye on the interest this receives from community here. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

  11. I would love the option of a list (ie long narrow tiles with the account name/number and Xero bal and statement bal; no graph/chart preview) instead of all tiles being three across.

    Two tiles across were easier to "read"/scan quickly, but three tiles across presents a lot of information at once without visual distinction, especially when compared to the old layout where the boxes generally were different sizes on the left side and right (and therefore easier to ignore one side depending on what information I needed).

    The option to maybe pick a colour for the tiles, or to resize…

  12. Both the new and old homepages/dashboards have an excess number of banners/notifications/little used sections above the real nitty gritty stuff that we use every day. It needs to be moved elsewhere.

  13. Allow 2 categories of Cash Out since i am a sole trader and my drawings are included in cash out so the widget is useless if i cant either exclude drawings or split cash out between Busienss Cash Out and Owner Drawings Cash out. Just keep the Cash out bar but split into two colours so that you can see Cash out Business and Cash out Drawings.

    Appreciate you sharing the need in this split of the cash in and out widget here. We're tracking the ideas we receive on the homepage closely and I'll be sure to share if there are any updates planned for this, here.

  14. This would give small businesses the snapshot of monies they owe in place easily.

  15. I love that there is an easy to see red link to overdue invoices on the homepage, but could this also be added to the Invoices page? I keep going through extra clicks because I click into my overdue invoices to deal with them, select an invoice, and then have the 'back to invoices' link but if I click this there is then no option to select only overdue invoices to view. Also it would be great when viewing all invoices to have some easy way (maybe an '!' symbol or similar so it's colour-blind friendly) to identify which ones…

    Hi Laura, thanks for putting this forward.

    Having a quicker way to access overdue invoices would certainly make daily credit control more efficient and help you stay on top of cash flow.

    In the meantime, you can select the “Overdue” section within the Invoices owed to you widget on the dashboard to jump straight to those invoices. If you open an invoice from that list, using your browser’s back arrow will return you to the same overdue view. Another option is to open invoices in a new tab so the overdue list remains open in the original tab.

    I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can capture interest and share with the product team how useful a dedicated shortcut would be.

  16. Like others, I think the options listed for profit and loss on the hompage are too restrictive. The app has better options. I want to know where I stand financially including upcoming payments (to distribute profits) so I tend to use the "Finincial year" P&L rather than "year to date". The app has this but the homepage doesn't.

    Hi there,


    Thanks for your feedback! It makes complete sense that you’d want the same visibility on your desktop as you have on your mobile app, especially when you're trying to track your financial position for the full year.


    I’ve classified this as Gaining Support. While you can see this data by clicking through to your full Profit and Loss report, I agree that having a "Financial Year" toggle directly on the Dashboard widget would be a great efficiency win.


    I've updated the title of your idea to "Dashboard - Add 'Financial Year' option to the Profit and Loss widget" to help other users find and vote for it.

  17. 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.

  18. Keep the line graphs in the bank account widgets from the original homepage. It is very helpful to be able to glance and know how you are doing and catch issues at a glance. Especially when using bank account as a clearing account when money in should match money out.

  19. Critically important to our business is being able to easily view 'notes' on overdue invoices next to their overdue amount in a list. No additional click thorughs with each individual invoice number as is the current system.

    Knowing when a reminder was sent and being able to view what their latest response was in a list form would massively help with managing unpaid invoices.

    We create separate spreadsheets to track overdue invoices and bad debt which is inefficient.

    This should be resolved with a quick view in the dashboard to ensure better debt management.

    Thanks for sharing how we could make the new Homepage more useful for you, Harry.

    It'll be good to understand the volumes of users that would also find this useful from your idea here - Make sure to also share your idea if you have colleagues that'd also find this useful and they can vote here too.

    Our product teams are paying close attention to the feedback we receive on this here and I'll share if there are any updates.

  20. Chart of Accounts Watchlist
    I would like it to only show some accounts if their balance does not equal 0
    Rather than reporting it when the account is 0 and just occupying space.

    This would be useful for Wages Payable, Superannuation Payable, Suspense accounts and various other accounts
