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.
11 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 - Special characters especially on names
Getting people's names correct is table stakes.
My name has an accent on the e - Rémi - but it comes up on XPH as "Rémi". I would not want my staff's names, or client names, appearing amiss. Not sure if this would then flow through to invoices.
11 votesHi everyone, thanks for your engagement on this idea! We completely understand why it matters, especially for our global Partners. A person’s name is a big part of who they are, and having to simplify or change it just to fit into a software field can be frustrating and confusing.
We’ve moved this idea to ‘Gaining Support’ so our product teams can see its impact. Are there particular characters or languages where you notice this most?

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.

For now, we'll shift to in discovery and I'll give you another update as it moves along.

XPH - Ability to merge jobs
Ability to merge jobs rather than moving timesheets.
10 votesHi Sue, thanks for sharing this! A merge feature for jobs could make managing duplicates much easier and help keep your records accurate and up to date. It would ensure that notes, tasks, and time entries all stay in one place, giving you a clearer view of each job’s progress and profitability.
We’ve moved this along to Gaining Support so the product team can see how useful a merge tool could be.

XPH | Homepage - Team performance & management metrics
It would be AMAZING if we could have some useful management reports, like monthly Team Performance by staff member with KPI data (write offs $, write off %, ROI, Average charge rate, total invoiced, closing WIP) and Practice Performance over the same metrics :)
Also some dashboard widgets that show these metrics personal to the user on their home page.
10 votesAppreciate the feedback and understanding other insights that you'd find most useful. Our team are evaluating the feedback from these forums with a keen eye as they continue to explore improvements and we';ll share if there are any plans for this, here.

Tax Manager – Include ATO clients missing from XPM/Xero Tax in the Ready To Start list
The returns ready to start from the ATO list need to also contain clients on ATO list not in xero tax so that we can use this list as our master list to clean up ATO clients/add new ones that may have been missed.
8 votesHi team, we can see how having the Ready to Start list in Tax Manager to include ATO clients missing from XPM/Xero Tax could make cross checking your clients list more efficient. Using this list as a single source to clean up or add missed clients sounds like a practical way to reduce extra steps.
This idea is now in Gaining Support, so it’s open for the community to vote and comment. If this would help your day-to-day work, we encourage you to add your vote and share your perspective—hearing how it could help in different situations gives the Product team a clearer picture of its value.

XPH | Homepage time summary widget - Show 7 days
Time summary on home page. It would be great if we could have a seven day view on the main page as not all work is completed within traditional business hours.
I was sure that it showed me seven days last week but I am wondering if this updates if there are weekend entries?
Really enjoy the experience so far!
Thanks!
8 votesAppreciate your feedback, Kerry. Currently the time summary widget is based around capacity which is only Mon-Fri. However, our product team are keen to get a better sense of interest around this and will be keeping a watchful eye on the support in this idea.
I'll let you know if there are any updates.

XPH - Add My Jobs widget to the homepage
Having to navigate to the "Job Manager" tab to view a list of all my jobs is not very practical. It would make far more sense to see all your jobs in the homepage. For the people who do not want this feature, there can be an option to hide this widget.
7 votesHi Cherry, thanks for sharing this idea! It’s clear that not having “My Jobs” on the homepage adds extra clicks and makes it harder to keep on top of daily priorities.
As a workaround in the meantime, the Jobs table on the homepage does have filters — you can filter the jobs by Assigned to me as staff, Assigned to me as manager, or Assigned to me as partner to help focus on the tasks relevant to you. Still, we know a dedicated homepage widget would make this even smoother.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and see how many in the community would benefit. Your votes and comments help our product team understand the impact, so please keep them coming!

Tax Manager - Include prior year returns in Ready To Start
Prior year returns from ATO list that are not lodged need to be in the ready to start list.
7 votesHi Natalie, appreciate your idea about including prior year returns in the Ready to Start list. We can see how this could make workflows in Tax Manager a bit more straightforward.
We’ve moved this to Gaining Support, so it’s now open for the community to vote and comment. Hearing how others might use this helps us understand the broader need.
Our Product team is interested in more ideas for Tax Manager, so if you or others have thoughts on ways to improve it, feel free to share them. Thanks for getting the conversation going.

With the XPM link to MyIR START, is it possible to have IRD's live filing statistics for the agency as a widget.

XPM - Reworking visuals on Timesheets and Productivity Dashboards
Make the timesheets and productivity metrics more attractive to incentivise employees to try and increase productivity or hours worked during the day.
Currently there is no visual appeal to having a 'better timesheet', either through more hours or a higher productivity (there isn't even any green that would signify a positive).
I suggest:
Having a widget (even just a simple line graph) that changes colour based on the productivity (i.e. a higher productivity would have a brighter green, good productivity green, low productivity red etc) - With this incorporating capacity reducing time to not skew this data
Introduce a metric…
6 votesHi Kurt, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on the XPH dashboards.
The idea of making timesheets and productivity metrics more visually engaging is an interesting one. As you’ve pointed out, the way information is presented can influence behaviour — whether that’s encouraging more timely entries or helping people quickly understand how they’re tracking against capacity.
I’ve moved this idea into Gaining Support so we can track interest and keep the conversation together. If this is something you’d value in your practice, adding your vote or expanding on how you’d use it will help build the picture for our product teams.

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
6 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.

Jobs - Show current and archived jobs on one page
JOBS - keep current and archived on one page, like it previously was is PM
6 votesThanks for your feedback on viewing current and archived jobs together in XPM. We appreciate you sharing how important this unified view is to your workflow.
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 vote too!
Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

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.
6 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 | 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.
6 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.

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.
6 votesHi Glennis, Milestones aren't available from the new Xero Partner Hub homepage, however if you'd like to use this you can still switch back to the old Dashboard.
Right now our product team are watching the feedback through this forum closely, and we'd like to gauge the interest from others for this on your idea.

Tax Manager - Sort by Group
The Tax Manager would be improved if it could be sorted by Group, or at least allow us to add the Group column. This would enable a quick reference for one client with multiple entities.
5 votesAppreciate your feedback here, Kristine. With Tax Manager currently a beta feature, our product team are staying close to the feedback on this here.
Right now we'll gauge interest in your idea, and I'll be sure to update you if there is any progress around this.

XPM - Suggestion for improvement: Simplify GST registration removal workflow
In the old XPM when removing a client’s GST registration you could delete the GST registration with one tick and save. In the new XPM when you untick ‘include GST information’, the GST information greys out and it lets you save but this does not remove the GST registration information. You have to clear the other fields first, then untick ‘include GST information’ and save. Why can’t you just untick ‘include GST information’ and it be removed from view on the client information screen? Or at least be given a warning that the change you’ve made isn’t correct when you…
5 votesHi there!
Thanks for sharing this detailed feedback about the GST workflow in XPM.
I can certainly see how the extra steps of clearing fields manually feel like a step backward from the previous experience, especially when you're managing multiple client updates.
Currently, the new XPM interface requires those fields to be emptied before the section can be fully "deactivated" from the client summary. If you find the information is still showing after you've unticked the box, it’s usually because those greyed-out fields still contain data that Xero is trying to preserve.
I’ve moved your post into Gaining Support under the title: XPM - Suggestion for improvement: Simplify GST registration removal workflow
By moving this here, other XPM users can vote on the idea, which helps our product teams prioritize making this workflow more intuitive—like adding a warning or an auto-clear function when the box is unticked.
