Client list - Manager column
Under the 'client' page, we really need more column options. The 13 options that are available aren't all that helpful. Why can't we have a column for address, partner, manager, group?
Struggling to see how industry classification would be helpful when searching for clients...52 votesThanks so much for sharing this idea. We’re seeing that this suggestion is gaining support from other partners in the community, which helps us understand its overall importance. While we can’t promise any changes or share timelines, ideas that attract growing support are regularly reviewed by our product team when planning future improvements⭐.

XPH | Client list - Match partial or similar name in search
When you search for a client with client name, old xpm it used to search for anyone with similar name, now it has to be exact eg John James Jones, if you searched John Jones, it would come up, now it won't and you have to type John James Jones for it to appear. If you type John it will come up but what happens when you have 50 Johns to scroll through??? Please fix.
74 votesThanks for feeding back on the Client search, Carey. The way that search works for the new client list experience is a little different to the older experience, and partial matching is not a feature with this new search.
While it's not in our roadmap atm, our team are keen to stay close the support this idea receives and will consider in future planning. I'll share if there are any updates here.

Clients – Improve XPM client edit screen (whitespace & layout)
The new client information page has too much white space but the layout with the headings bigger and the line helping you to track from the heading to the actual data is OK. However when you click 'edit details' that all changes.
• the 'old' version only showed the headings and you could expand each heading to find the places you wanted to update. Much easier to scroll through.
• The new layout has too much white space, there is no clear difference between the headings and the titles – too much wasted time scrolling up and down trying to…
57 votesHi team, it’s been interesting to read through all the comments in this thread. We appreciate the ask and the detail you’ve shared around how these changes could make the client edit screen easier to work with when you’re moving quickly between clients.

XPH | Homepage - Ability to resize widgets
would be good to be able to resize the widgets to show more of what is important to us individually ie: I would like to be able to make the job widget bigger to show more jobs and shrink the time summary which is not important for my particular role
30 votesHi team, thanks for sharing this! We can see how resizable widgets would make the Partner Hub feel more tailored to each practice. Some teams might want a big view of their Alerts, while others prefer a compact Time Summary—being able to adjust widget sizes would make the dashboard feel more like your own workspace.
Currently, fixed-size widgets can make key information feel crowded or require extra clicks to see more rows of data.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so our product teams can understand the demand for a more flexible dashboard. We’d love to hear from you—which widgets would you most like to expand or resize?

Jobs - Reduce whitespace
The new beta job creation doesn't do anything the old one didn't do, everything is just either bigger or surrounded by more white space so there's less information on screen at once. It feels great on a touchscreen on an iPad, but I would assume most users are on a desktop where the experience is now just worse.
55 votesThanks for your feedback on our updates to Jobs within the practice experiences beta. Our team are following and considering all feedback we receive through this forum very closely and I'll be sure to let you know if there are any updates.

XPH | Homepage - Ability to Filter Jobs
It would be helpful to add additional filters to the jobs on the dashboard so that you could filter out certain job states and see true workflow for jobs that are due at that point in time.
29 votesAppreciate you letting us know how filters on the Jobs widget in the new XPH homepage would be useful.
We're keen to get a better idea of the number of users that'd also find this helpful. Feel free to share the link to this idea with other colleagues that'd find this useful too!
We'll share if there are any updates for you here.

XPH - Ability to merge jobs
Ability to merge jobs rather than moving timesheets.
16 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.

Xero HQ - Display 'Start Date' column in Client and Group job lists
The list of jobs at a client level and Group level no longer displays the start date. Only due date is showing.
This functionality was available before. I am not sure why it was omitted. Helps team members to review and prioritise jobs for a Group based on the start date when the job was received or has been scheduled to start.17 votesThank you for sharing your idea and highlighting the changes that are most important to you.
Your idea has been reviewed and is now open for community support. We encourage you to share it with colleagues who may benefit, so they can add their vote.

Jobs - View jobs on the side of screen
Job Page Hogs entire screen
- I'd assume majority are not blind and old. Old interface is so much better.
- I still want to see my jobs on the side.
- Change it, it's embarrassing.
23 votesAppreciate the feedback, Arnie. Our product team are staying close to the feedback we're receiving about updates in Jobs. It'd be good to see if there are others in the new experience that feel the same way.
I'll let you know if we have any further enhancements around the layout for you here.

XPH | Tax Manager - Column showing outcome
In Tax Manager, Option to multiselect tax forms and lodge button. Similar to the Old tax returns window. It will be nice to have a column showing outcome for the form such as $$$ payable or Refundable. This will be more efficient.

Practice Manager | Invoices - Invoices of all status in once screen with a Paid indicator
Having the paid invoices in a separate archive folder is annoying. I used to be able to see the jobs and invoices in one screen, so having them separate is too many mouse clicks away and not immediately visible. Should be one screen for invoices, with a paid indicator next to it.
27 votesWe appreciate you sharing feedback on the beta experience, Carol. We'll begin to get feedback and support for this through your idea. Our product teams are keeping a close eye on this forum and I'll be sure to share if there's any change planned

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…
6 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 - 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.
15 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?

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.
9 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!

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…
9 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 - Clients etc should be clickable in all areas of XPM
Clients, jobs, contacts etc should be clickable in all areas of XPM. Im in a job, and the client is displayed to the right, I can't click it to go to the client record. Likewise, on timesheets, clients and jobs should be clickable. This saves a large amount of time.
13 votesThank you for sharing your idea about making client, job, and contact names clickable in all areas of XPM/XPH. We’ve heard consistent feedback from our partners and users that this would improve efficiency, and workflows.
We want to acknowledge that this feedback and we recognize the value of this suggestion and are keen to see how much support it receives from the wider community. If this is a feature that would make a difference for you and your team, please add your vote and share your specific use cases in the comments. Your input helps us prioritize what matters most to our customers as we continue to evolve XPM and XPH🌟

Practice | Homepage - View if a clients feed needs refreshing
Being able to see which clients have feeds that need refreshing would help with taking actions quickly to ensure client data stays updated
4 votesHi team, we recognise that staying on top of disconnected or expiring bank feeds is important for keeping workflows running smoothly.
We hear that having a dedicated view or alert on the Practice Homepage would make it easier to manage bank feed refresh across clients, rather than only picking up issues when working in a specific file.
This is now in Gaining Support so we can gather interest and share how this could make day-to-day practice management easier.

XPH | Jobs - Add contrast to the new job creation design
The new beta job creation doesn't do anything the old one didn't do, everything is just either bigger or surrounded by more white space so there's less information on screen at once. It feels great on a touchscreen on an iPad, but I would assume most users are on a desktop where the experience is now just worse.
17 votesThanks for your feedback on the new layout of Jobs, Chris! It's really good to hear how this is landing with beta participants and where you see we could further improve this for you.

Job Status - Change colour of Save button
job status Save button should be Green or Blue like other Save buttons please - alerts your eye to it.

Tax Manager - Dedicated "Overdue" tab for late lodgements
Can we have Late or Overdue Lodgements in a Separate Tab so they dobn't get buried with the others.
6 votesHi everyone, thanks for the suggestion. A dedicated Overdue tab in Tax Manager would make it easier to quickly see filings that have passed their due date, rather than relying on filters or scanning for overdue indicators.
At the moment, you can use status filters or sort by date due in the returns list, but we can see the value in having a clearer, dedicated view.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and share it with our product teams for consideration.
