  1. On the "Invoices owed to you widget" please add a button to go straight to "repeating invoices." You currently have "New invoice" and "View all invoices." It looks like you have room to add "Repeating invoices." You could change the text from "View all invoices" to "All invoices" if you needed more room.

    Hi Maggie, appreciate you for sharing your idea and explaining how this would fit into your workflow. It’s helpful to understand where quicker access could make things run more smoothly day to day.

    We’ve moved this idea into Gaining Support, so it’s now open for the community to add votes and comments. Seeing how others respond will help us understand how widely this need is shared.

    As a short-term workaround, you could bookmark the Repeating Invoices page in your browser or pin that tab so it’s always within easy reach. It’s not quite the same as having a dashboard shortcut, but it can help shave off some time while we continue to gather feedback.

  2. We don't need to see this link against every bank account on the homepage. The link in the ellipsis is enough.

    Hey Jonathan., I completely understand that you personally don’t need the Import bank statement option there.


    However, we’ve chosen to keep it visible because, across all Xero organisations, it’s actually one of the most frequently used actions on the bank widget.


    Many businesses still rely on manual statement uploads at different times – for example when a bank doesn’t support feeds, there’s a gap in the data, or a feed is temporarily unavailable.


    So while it might not be something you use every day, it’s a key shortcut for a lot of other customers, which is why it still appears on the homepage.


    If your feeds are working well, you can safely ignore it – it’s simply there as a convenient backup when it’s needed.

  3. Automatically show new bank accounts on the Homepage
    When a new bank account is added in Xero, it currently defaults to being hidden until the user manually clicks “Add to homepage.” This creates an extra, unnecessary step.
    Suggestion:
    Have newly added bank accounts appear on the Homepage by default, with the option to hide them if users prefer. This would streamline the setup process and reduce friction for users who expect new accounts to be visible immediately.

    Hi team, after further discussion with our product team we're going to open this idea back up and would like to better understand the wider interest for being able to add new bank accounts as a default to the Homepage.

    As mentioned in our last update at present.

    • When you add your very first bank account to your Xero org, this automatically appears as a widget on your Homepage
    • After this, additional bank accounts you add prompt a banner so you're made aware there are new accounts, and you can Edit your Homepage to add each of them as a widget to your view and arrange where these sit on the page.

    We'd be really keen to get further insights through your feedback here on why showing every bank account by default would be most useful to your business, as opposed to being able to Edit the homepage and add…

  4. Firstly, for the price point, it would be valuable to have stronger tools for margin analysis on COGS. The underlying data is already in the system, but there’s limited ability to run flexible reports to properly evaluate performance based on how we’ve coded transactions.

    Secondly, an inventory function would add significant value. Each order entered effectively represents an inventory movement, yet there’s no simple way to load, adjust, or manage stock levels within the system. This would be particularly helpful for small businesses.

    Finally, in the new dashboard, it would be great to have clearer visibility of invoices due by…

    Hi 👋 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 🙂

  5. The only option is for the Homepage - but my suggestion is for the whole system.

    Having negative values in brackets and coloured RED - easier to see at a glance. To me that should be a basic feature. Extending that to reports also so there is less filtering etc.

    Thanks for sharing your idea about showing negatives in red and brackets throughout the whole of Xero.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes and comments about how they'd like to see this too!

  6. When I add the "expenses to review" widget to the homepage, this shows the expenses that are needing approval, and how much is to be paid.

    At the moment I have all my expenses reviewed, and some that now need payment. Why is this information also not replicated in the "Tasks" widget?

    What is the point of a "Tasks" widget if it doesn't summarise all the needed actions highlighted across all the selected/displayed widgets? At the moment the listed tasks appear to only summarise a few widgets (and even then regardless of whether those widgets are selected to be shown…

    Appreciate the feedback and how you'd find this information useful within the task widget. Our product teams are reviewing this widget to consider what additional items would be most useful for customers and your feedback here is welcomed. We'll be sure to let you know if we make plans to add expenses to this widget.

  7. Hi we really need the homepage Bills widget to display bills due for payment TODAY.

    We receive a lot of bills and we pay them on the due date.

    Currently it is not easy to find bills due today among all the bills awaiting payment.

    The widget displays overdue bills, it could easily show shows due today so we can easily display and pay them.

    Thanks

    Appreciate your feedback, and explaining how viewing bills due today from the homepage would help your business, Rick.

    Right now we're watching all feedback we're getting about the new Homepage closely. We'll get a sense of the community interest for this here and share if there are any updates. Thanks

  8. There should be a widget that shows current bank balance, that includes future payments. The current one only shows bank statement balance, and balance in Xero that only shows up to the current date. But when paying bills, it's nice to know the current balance after other future payments to have a full idea of cash flow available. This widget should then also follow through to the bills pages so I can pay bills and see my balance in real-time to make better plans of which and when bills should be paid.

  9. Please put back the full Watchlist view. The idea of a watchlist is to be able to see at a glance what accounts we need to keep a watch on. It's not 'at a glance' if the list isn't in full view and we have to scroll down.
    Also, please remove the advertising and banners that clutter the homepage.

    Appreciate the feedback, Carol. Can see how if you've selected a large list of accounts to keep on your watchlist how scrolling the widget could be frustrating.

    I want to be honest that we don't have any plans for extending out this widget further atm, however we'll start to get a sense of the interest from your idea here and I'll share if there are any updates.

  10. Ability to choose favourite apps and add them either to the top menu bar or the homepage. It will turn 2 clicks into 1 click which seems picky but when launching hubdoc often it would really speed things up

    Thanks for sharing, Andrew. Good to know the use you'd find in being able to add an app to your homepage directly for ease of access.

    Lets get a wider sense of the interest in this from community here. I'll let you know if there are any plans made.

  11. I need to maintain certain accounts at a zero balance (in & out account). When I reload the home page it does not update the Chart of Accounts Watchlist. I have to also then specifically refresh the Watchlist. This was not necessary with the old home page.

  12. It would be fantastic if across Xero (not just the Homepage) the top menu bar was sticky, so it stayed at the top of the screen as you scrolled.

    Repeat this across all pages within Xero.

  15. I've just reconciled 38 bank transactions and returned to the home screen. It still says I have 38 items to reconcile. The Homepage therefore does not reflect the correct figures for debtors and creditors. 5 minutes later I refresh and its still telling me I have 38 items to reconcile! Furthermore, the homepage is way too cluttered and busy :o(

  16. I am just trying to share basic feedback on the overall constant changes and updates to the software. Its ridiculus. I am all for needed updates but at this point it seems like changes are just being made to keep people busy. As far as employees in numerous divisions is concerned, everytime there is an update with multiple changes that doesn't seem to effect much, it takes them a few days to figure everything out. It slows production down and for what, so the dashboard can look different. We don't need to reinvent the wheel guys. I have been a…

  17. 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.

    Hi 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

    Hi 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.

  20. 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.

    Thanks 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.
