Homepage - Remove animations
Provide an option to eliminate animations. The growing bars is a distraction, I find myself waiting for the movement to stop before proceeding. I'm here to work, I want the information - I'm not here for entertainment.
3 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share how the moving graphs on the homepage feel for you – I’m really sorry they’re causing frustration and distraction.
We introduced the animations to help bring key information (like money in and out, or what’s owed and due) to life and make it easier to see changes at a glance when the page first loads, rather than having everything appear as a static block of numbers. The bars “rising” from the baseline are there to show the most up-to-date figures and make comparisons a bit clearer, not to get in the way of your work.
That said, we completely understand that movement on screen doesn’t work well for everyone, and it’s important you can focus on your tasks without visual noise. At the moment there isn’t a way to turn these homepage graphs off, or to disable the animation just for…

Homepage - Timesheet Summary widget
Would love a widget that shows the leave requests sorted by closest leave date to later leave dates with a filter option to adjust to be able to show just pending approval, just approved or all.
Another widget that would be helpful is a summary of timesheets submitted for the current pay period/ next due pay run.
2 votesHi Tamara, thanks for sharing this suggestion. Having a Timesheet Summary widget available directly on the dashboard sounds like it could make it much easier to keep an eye on submitted hours and stay on top of approvals without needing to navigate into Payroll.
To make sure we can track interest clearly for each request, we keep ideas to one feature per post. Since you also mentioned employee leave requests, I’ve located an existing idea for a Leave Request widget and added your support there so it can continue to gather votes and feedback.
I’ve moved this post to Gaining Support so we can focus on the Timesheet Summary idea here and track how helpful others would find having this visibility on their dashboard.

Homepage | Bills Awaiting payment - Filter out expense claims
Filter out expense claims from Bills Awaiting Payment
I input my own money occasionally into the business & don't require paying back, so the expense claim is left "open" & shows up on Bills awaiting payment - thus confusing the amount owing to Bills I have outstanding.

Homepage - Add shortcut to create repeating invoice
Shortcut to add recurring invoice via a simple UX - just add a drop down next to the 'New invoice' button. Similar to what you already have in the Sales overview page.
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea! We can see how having a “Create Repeating Invoice” shortcut right on the dashboard would make managing recurring invoicing faster and more seamless.
Currently, you navigate through the Invoices menu to reach the Repeating tab, which adds extra steps. I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so our product teams can track interest and understand how much this shortcut could help streamline regular invoicing.

Homepage - Include the number of billable expenses outstanding in the tasks list
It would be great if the number of billable expenses - outstanding (as per the report of the same name) could be included in the tasks widget - ie expenses to be oncharged. Currently I have to run the report to check if there are any oncharges to complete, but it would be great if I could just see the number on the list. We use this feature for almost all of the organisations we look after (20+) and it would save time and ensure we are oncharging more promptly.
2 votesThanks for your feedback on this and sharing how this would be useful to your flows, Lisa. We're taking feedback about this widget on board and considering what additional items would be most useful to customers. I'll be sure to share any updates if there is progress for adding billable expenses to this view.

Homepage - Adaptive layout & zoom to fit for monitors with different aspect ratios
VISUAL: Adaptive layout & zoom to fit?
I use my widescreen monitor to use two windows side-by-side, but then the Xero window has a lot of negative space around the tabs (see image) and the only way I can find to make this larger is to zoom in the browser, but that makes all the browser items zoomed, which I don't want. If I enlarge the Xero tab, the layout adjusts to a sweet spot, but that also doesn't fit nicely on full screen, and I end up clicking between things more than is efficient, so it should ideally sit…

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.

Homepage | Widget for recently paid bills
Could we have more widgets to add - recently paid bills would be great
2 votesThanks for your feedback, Paul. Good to hear the different details that our customers would find most helpful at a glance. While we don't have plans for adding a recently paid bills widget like the invoices one just at this time we'll start to track interest in this here and I'll update you if there's any news.

Users & Setup - Automatically redirect to the previous page after a session timeout and re-login
At the moment if not all tasks have been completed in a work day, opening up the browser window again from where you left off will log you out. When you log in again, you are diverted to the homepage with no way of clicking back to go back to the page you were on. This is a massive waste of time, please allow us to restore our tabs which had things like custom reports and other things we started working on.
2 votesHi everyone, we understand that being sent back to the homepage after a session timeout can interrupt your workflow, especially when you’re in the middle of a specific report or transaction. It can be a bit inconvenient to lose your place and have to navigate back, and we completely get how that affects your productivity.
Some community members have mentioned ways to work around this, like keeping an eye on the session timeout or using browser bookmarks for deep links. At the same time, we agree that a smoother experience that automatically returns you to your last page would be really helpful.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and show our product teams how this “return to page” functionality could save you time and make your workflow easier.

Homepage - Outstanding invoices view if emailed or printed

Homepage - Reduce Motion for accessibility
Looking at the new interface at https://www.xero-reimagined-nav-hp.com/ the widgets fly in from the side, and the charts all animate from zero to their full value. I have an accessibility requirement to have reduced motion, and have selected this option on my computer which the new Xero website is ignoring. Websites can use this selection as shown in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-motion and https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Techniques/css/C39. Can you please implement the best practice for accessibility, and ensure all users can comfortably use your updated website by removing unnecessary animation when requested with the reduce motion option? Many other websites include this accessibility feature which is…

Homepage – Show Chart of Accounts Quarterly Budget on the Widget
Like many business' we operate more on qrtly budgets than monthly due to month to month volatility.
I love the chart of accounts widget but for us it would ideally be able to show this quarter as well as this month2 votesHi there, thanks for sharing this! it’s clear that having a quarterly budget figure on the Chart of Accounts watchlist widget would make managing your finances even easier. We can see how having that data live on the dashboard would give you a quick, clear snapshot for proactive planning without needing to switch to the full Budget Manager report.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and show our product teams how much this extra flexibility could help you stay on top of your long-term goals.

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.
2 votesHi 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.

Xero Tax (UK) - MTD for IT running total on homepage
Include MTD running total for self-employed and landlords.
Tracking tax payable can help inform decisions about, for example, pension contributions, investing in property upgrades or paying off mortgages that affect tax bills.1 voteThanks for sharing this idea about MTD running totals for self-employed individuals and landlords.

Homepage - Bills to pay/Awaiting Payment screen to group by date range
TASKS Tab - Make the Hyperlink to "Overdue Invoices" filterable by date range - or more simply add 'several' system generated date ranges ie: (1) 0-30 days Overdue; (2) 31-90 days; (3) 90+ days. This would make instant "Aged Receivables Reviews" a breeze - as smaller businesses have more tolerance for mild customer payment delays - but need to focus on those debtors with invoices that aged beyond several months.
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea about filtering overdue invoices by date ranges on the homepage. We appreciate you explaining how this could help with aged receivables reviews.

Homepage - Show recent payments received from customer
Widget - Recent Invoice Payments.
Show payment value from customer rather than individual invoices. Recent Payment Received would be more helpful than 5 x £10 from Bloggs & Co
2 votesHi Sharon, thanks for sharing this suggestion! We understand that seeing payments received from customers, rather than individual invoices, would make it much easier to track cash flow and acknowledge payments at a glance
At the moment, you can use the Bank Reconciliation summary or check invoice History and Notes, but a dedicated homepage widget with aggregated payment values would be more convenient. We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and share with our product teams.
