XPM - Staff Monitoring - Staff timesheets
I propose introducing a “Staff Dashboard” that provides a simple weekly view of each staff member’s timesheet, showing what they worked on and how many hours were recorded. For each job, it should also show the total hours spent by the individual, the total hours on the engagement, and the budgeted hours. This would allow managers to quickly understand both staff activity and whether jobs are running within budget.
In addition, there should be better reporting to compare similar jobs across periods, helping identify inefficiencies and improve pricing. Overall, timesheet reporting needs to be more practical and insightful, as time…

XPH | Jobs - Enter Time should default to last end time in your timesheet
Enter Time - you have to put in start time. It should default to your last time entry like it does under view timesheets.
11 votesThanks for sharing back on how you enter time for Jobs, Lisa. We'll start to get a gauge of others interest ion this from your idea here.
We'll keep a close watch and let you know if there are any updates planned for this here.

XPH Client record - Add a counter to the Documents tab
Please add a counter to the Documents tab in the Client window, same as the counter for Jobs, Quotes, Invoices and Notes. A counter appears only when you have opened the Documents tab.
3 votesThanks so much for sharing this idea ✨ — it’s a really helpful suggestion.
We can see how having a visible counter on the Documents tab, like you already do for Jobs, Quotes, Invoices and Notes, would make the client record easier to scan at a glance.
We’ve now opened this idea up for other community members to vote on and comment on as well, so we can better understand how much interest there is from the wider community. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

bas
Need a widget for BAS and IAS lodgements that are due for BAS Agents. Functionality seems limited in this space if you arent a tax agent.

XPH | Jobs - Display multiple allocated staff members in the 'Staff Assigned' column on the Job Manager screen
I would like to see at a glance the staff assigned to each job and there is a Staff Assigned column in Job Manager which should enable this. It should list all staff names, or at least the top three. Currently, it only shows one name which is useless, especially as that name is myself as I am first in alphabetical order and as my name is also shown in the manager and partner columns. So I can see my name in three columns and no other staff names!
There is a + sign which can be clicked on to…
3 votesThanks for starting this conversation. We understand the request to show all assigned staff in the Staff Assigned column in Job Manager, rather than only the primary staff member. Having everyone visible at a glance could make it easier to review job allocations without opening each job.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you'd use it.

Tax Manager - include BAS management
The ability to create or show BAS statements in the tax manager would be good - you used to be able to create them from the tax tab but now I have to go into the client themselves and click create. Or just some way to make this easier overall - whether you have a BAS section in the Tax Manager, or a create statement button up the top.
8 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion! We understand that including Business Activity Statements (BAS) in Tax Manager would make it much easier to track all your clients’ obligations in one place.
At the moment, activity statements are managed separately in Xero Tax, so you’ll need to navigate to that section to track and update them. We can see how bringing everything into a single view would make your workflow more efficient.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and share with our product teams.

Xero Partner Hub - Retain Visibility of Blank Tax/IRD Number Field in Client view
If the IRD number is not populated then this field disappears from the information screen when viewing a client's details. Can the field please remain on the screen even if left empty.
12 votesHi Sue, we appreciate you suggesting that the Tax/IRD Number field remain visible, even when blank - it’s a helpful idea for tracking data completeness and maintaining consistency in client records.
We’ve moved your idea to Gaining Support, so it’s now open for the community to vote and comment. Our product team is keeping a close eye on feedback coming through related to Xero Partner Hub.
We’d love to hear more from you and other community members about how this change could improve your workflow or benefit your practice. Sharing specific examples will help the team understand the value of this idea.
Thanks for getting the conversation started!

XPH | Staff - Add granular staff permission levels and client-level access controls
Problem:
Right now staff permissions in Partner Hub are too broad. I can't limit what junior staff see.Solution:
Add more detailed permission levels for staff - like view only, edit quotes only, no billing access.Benefit:
This would make our practice more secure and compliant.2 votesThanks for bringing this to the community. We understand the request for more control over staff access in Xero Partner Hub, particularly when different team members need access to different clients or practice functions.
I've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community feedback. If this would be useful for your practice, share how you currently manage staff access and which additional controls you'd like to see.

Tax Manager - Bulk update return statuses and view outstanding payment balances
Have a drop down menu on the Status to change between waiting to be filed to completed, at a visual see if there's any money owing on the clients file. Saves having multiple screens open and jumping between clients to change status and check for payment.
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback here. We understand the value of being able to manage return statuses and payment information from the main Tax Manager view.
For practices working through many returns at once, bulk status updates could make it easier to keep the list up to date, while showing outstanding balances could give you a quick reference when following up with clients.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. If you’d find this useful, add your vote and share how you currently manage these tasks.

XPH - Client Column Sorting
It would be helpful to be able to sort by all the Columns under Clients. This way the information in the columns could be more useful. Its great being able to see the connected banks but currently we cant group by this.
2 votesThanks so much for sharing your idea about sorting columns in the Xero Partner Hub client list, including grouping clients by connected banks. We understand how this could make it easier to organise and prioritise client work, and we really appreciate you helping us improve Xero. 💙
This is now open for community support, so others can vote and add context. We encourage others who would benefit from this to share their use cases and help us understand the broader need. We'll continue to monitor the feedback and update this thread if there's progress to share. Thanks again for helping shape Xero! ✨

Tax Manager - Ability to export lists
Would be helpful to be able to quickly export a list from tax manager
8 votesThanks for sharing, Rhys. It'd be good to get an understanding of other practices that'd also find this helpful.
Be sure to share your idea here with others in your practice that'd find this helpful so they can add their vote too. 🙂

XPH | Homepage - Widget for favourite Clients and direct link to Xero File for quick acess.
So when on home Practice Hub Per User- A Widget you can link your favourite Clients in a Widget for easy quick access to their Xero Files.
Similar to Favorites Clients on ATO Home Screen.13 votesThanks for raising your feedback with us here! Our product team are closing close attention, and I'm pleased to share that this is a widget that they are exploring for the Partner Hub homepage 😊

XPH - Add ability to easily move and copy/duplicate timesheet entries
Allow you to move timesheets between days for if they're entered in the wrong day (it was easier to edit the day of an entry on the old system), and copy timesheets (for when working on repetative jobs rather than having to search the job every time)
3 votesHi Alex, appreciate the suggestion. We’re hearing that working with similar timesheet entries across multiple days can take a bit of extra effort, especially when you’re moving between jobs or need to correct something quickly.
At the moment, the process can involve re-entering details or recreating entries when changes are needed, and we understand how having a quicker way to handle this could help streamline day-to-day time tracking.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and make it easier for our product teams to see how many people would benefit from improvements here. We’ll keep you updated as this progresses.

Xero Partner Hub - Milestones
Where do I find the dashboard milestones - it was my due tody, and overdue milestones. I can't find them in the new dashboard.
9 votesHi team, thanks for your input to this idea. Being upfront here, while this widget was evaluated as part of new Xero Partner Hub, with low usage we did make the decision that this wouldn't be a widget that we'd develop within the new experience.
We appreciate there are some users that do find this useful you can get to this from Job Manager in the Important dates tab. To get here more efficiently you may also like to add a custom link to the homepage in the Quick Actions widget.

XPH - Add a one-click Timesheets shortcut in the Home page
It now takes multiple menus to get to the enter timesheets page. This should be a one click access from the Home page like it was in the old XPM.
5 votesHi Catherine, thanks for sharing this suggestion.
As mentioned in the community, you can currently access this from the Home Page via the View Timesheet option in the Time Summary widget. That said, we do understand that a one-click shortcut will be more convenient and visible.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams understand how this kind of shortcut could improve day-to-day time entry.

XPH - Automatically link and sync Individual Clients with the Contact list
All individual Clients created should automatically be added as a contact and that contact should by linked to the client record. If you change the client detail that "new" contact that is linked should be auto updated. (in short an individual customer/contact is not "duplicated"). If you send mails from a job you can then use that client automaticly as a contact and do not have to create a contact
8 votesHey Louis, thanks for bringing this up! Having client info in both the Partner Hub and your practice contacts gives you flexibility, but it would be even smoother if updates could flow automatically between them.
Right now, exporting your client list from the Hub and importing it into your practice contacts is a simple way to refresh records in bulk. It’s a handy way to keep everything up to date.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so the product team can see how helpful a more connected, unified experience would be for Partners.

XPH | Homepage - Create tasks and recurring tasks to show on your homepage
A function to create tasks and recurring tasks to show on your dashboard, much like Google Tasks. A basic To-Do list that shows recurring tasks that you need to complete every month for each client. This links in with XPM as a CRM system.
11 votesAppreciate your idea here, Johnny. Great to be hearing how we could make more improvements to the new Xero Partner Hub homepage to help your practice run.
We'll start to track the support in this here. As you'll have seen our product team are highly engaged with the feedback coming in on this and I'll make sure to let you know if there are any updates for this in the works.

Tracking
Reports and charts on dashboard need to have filter/option to view based on Partner Tracking / Code rather than entire practice/business.

Homepage is too expanded.
Homepage - Too expanded. Better if we have the discretion to expand it or not. Best if we can resize the widgets and can customize colors, not everybody loves color blue. Make it more flexible to users to edit homepage. Thanks
