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!
11 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.

Client - Add a dedicated field for former names or historical aliases
Would it be possible to add a field under Client for Former name/s? As ASIC agent there are multiple scenarios of where we need to enter any former names for a client. It would be great to see a field under the client where we could add their maiden name etc.
10 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion.
We understand why having a dedicated place to record previous client names or aliases would be useful, especially for businesses and practices that manage long-term client relationships where details can change over time.
This idea is suggesting the ability to store historical names directly on a client record, so teams can keep a clearer record of changes without losing access to previous details.
We’ll continue to track feedback and interest from the community around this. Please keep sharing your workflows and use cases here, as this helps us understand where improvements could provide the most value.

Use of Timer for Timesheet Entry
The Timer doesn't allow you to scroll to the bottom to see the next time entry unless you are on the home page.
10 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on the new Partner Hub timer experience. This is essential for the Product team to glean what is working and what is not. We have moved this to Gaining Support so others can comment and vote on this idea and if there are any updates we will mention them here.

XPH - Split Milestone Date and Description into separate, sortable report fields
Please could the Milestones on Reports not be consolidated into a single text field.
It would be much more useful if Reports had separate fields for:
Milestone Date
Milestone Text/NameAt the moment, the Milestone Date and Name are combined into one text field. Because of this, the field is treated as text rather than a true date field, which means sorting by date does not work properly. For example, milestones can appear in an incorrect order such as 1 May, 2 June, then 3 April.
Having the date and milestone description available as separate report fields would make reporting…
9 votesHi James, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.
We hear you that splitting these into separate, sortable fields would make it simpler to view upcoming deadlines and group milestones in a way that supports day-to-day planning.
This is now in Gaining Support so we can track interest and share with our product team how more structured milestone data could improve timeline and workload management.

XPH - Add a "WIP Value ($)" column to the Jobs list
Can a column be added to see the WIP value in $dollars rather than a percent, this makes it a lot clearer to see time spent on a job.
9 votesHi Amy, thanks for taking the time to share this idea.
It sounds like being able to see the dollar value of Work in Progress (WIP) directly within the Jobs list would give much better visibility over workload and billing readiness. Having unbilled time and costs displayed at a glance, without needing to open each job or run a separate report, would make it easier to quickly spot what’s ready to invoice.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams understand how adding a WIP value column could support a smoother billing workflow and clearer visibility across jobs.

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.
9 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.

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.
9 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.

Tax Manager - Add Signed Status
Add a signed Status to the Left Hand Navigation so that signed returns can be quickly selected and lodged
9 votesAppreciate you sharing your feedback on the Tax Manager beta, Serge. Our product team are paying close attention to the feedback we're receiving on this to understand how we can keep developing this experience. I'll be sure to share if there are any plans for providing this visibility of the status of a return.

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
9 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.

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.
9 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.

XPH Homepage | NZ Tax - IRD's Live Filing Statistics as a Widget
With the XPM link to MyIR START, is it possible to have IRD's live filing statistics for the agency as a widget.
9 votesHi team, we appreciate your engagement on this idea.
We’re just circling back to share a quick update as it’s been a little while. We’ve checked in with our product teams, and this isn’t data that IRD currently provides access to. Because of that, it’s not something we’re able to support right now.
If this changes in the future, it may be something we can revisit, but we want to set the right expectation here for now. Thanks.

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 | Homepage - Option to add comparative tax return filing progress graphs
It's good that we can customise the dashboard - move things around and remove things we don't need or want to see.
But can we please still have the tax return graphs (as per original dashboard) as an option, so we can see progress of returns filed compared to total returns to file?
The new tax returns graph only gives us information we can already see in the Returns tab.
Thank you.
8 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request to bring a comparative tax return filing progress graphs as an option for widget.
Having a visual comparison of returns filed against the total number to file could help practices monitor progress and remaining workload at a glance.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you’d like the progress graphs to be displayed.

Tax Manager - Allow suspended tax returns to be progressed to Signed status without removing suspension
In the old return manager, it is possible to push suspended tax returns from approved through to the signed stage and this is where they would lock. In the new tax manager, when the return is approved then suspended, it is not possible to push through to signed.
Can the new tax manager adopt the old previous ability so there is no back and forth or suspended / removing suspension then adding it back?8 votesAppreciate you raising this suggestion, Britney. Having the ability to move a suspended return directly to Signed could remove the need to temporarily change its suspension status.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this would be useful for your practice, add your vote and let us know how you currently manage these returns.

Tax Manager - Suspended Returns ability to Save Filter
Suspended Returns Filter - so we can filter these and see as a whole which returns are suspended also showing the date suspended / reason etc. Saving this filter along with all filter options to be saved for future quick reference.
8 votesThanks for the feedback, Jo. It's good to hear how more filter and save options within Tax Manager would be useful for your practice.
We'll share if there are any plans made to enable this here.

Jobs - Navigate back to job when you cancel editing
When editing jobs if you click on cancel rather than save. It does not bring you back to the job you are editing, it brings you to the full jobs list. It should bring you back to that job.
8 votesThanks for your feedback, Karen. Can see the logic in being straight back to the job you were in rather than to the full jobs list.
While we'll get a wider sense of interest around this here , I'll be sure to update if there are any changes planned for this behaviour.

XPH - Add two-week calendar widget for Jobs and Milestones
In the middle of the old XPM home page we had a clear visual of a two week calendar showing assigned jobs and upcoming milestones.
This was very useful and was good quick visual reminder to action any of days jobs or milestones as well as any forth coming jobs and milestones.
Although there is an assigned jobs summary on the homepage of the new XPM there is no milestone reminder visual and as a practice which uses job milestones heavily it is very much missed.
Can it be reinstated please, Im sure there is room on the new home…
8 votesThanks for feeding back to us here. We understand for practices that do use schedules that this view can be quite useful. To be transparent this widget had relatively low usage in Xero Practice Manager and we don't have plans for developing a specific widget for this in Xero Partner Hub.
That said, you can still get to this view from within Jobs under Job schedule, and it's possible to add a custom link to the homepage in the Quick Actions widget to make navigating here more efficient🙂

Clients - Dashboard to view, search and audit all clients notes
Currently you have to go into a client to see notes relating to that client. It would be useful to have an option to see all notes, by client.
7 votesHi Cormac, thanks for bringing this idea to the community.
We can see how a centralised view of client notes could make it easier to keep track of updates across your client base and help teams stay aligned without needing to open individual client records.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue monitoring interest and gathering feedback on how this could support your practice workflows.

XPH - Ability to minimise Timesheet Entry from any page
The Timesheet Entry pop up on the right side of the page, Cannot be minimised outside of the Home page screen. So if you toggle to a client or to correct a job and happen to have not closed it, you can't then close it without returning to the main home screen. Despite the Cross in the corner, this appears not to work.
7 votesThanks for the feedback, Francisca - By chance have you raised this with our Xero Support team to take a closer look into as sounds more like a bug if the option is not working, and they have tools to be able to investigate.
Either way I've shared this back with our product team and will let you know if there are any updates on this here.

XPH - Edit date range on Time Summary Widget
It would be good to be able to edit the date range on the Homepage Time Summary widget so it reflects the same as our pay week.
6 votesThanks for bringing this idea to the community, Casey.
Having the option to choose the date range shown in the Time Summary widget could make it easier to review time over the periods that matter most to your team, without needing to switch to other areas of Xero Partner Hub.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If you'd like to see this added, please continue to vote and share how you'd use custom date ranges in your day-to-day workflow.
