XPH - Reduce the size of the Timer screen
When you click to start the timer in Xero Partner Hub, the pop-up box fills 1/3 of the screen. It blocks access to items on the right hand side of the page underneath (for example the 'go to xero' from the insights page or the 'next page' arrow in the clients list). The only way to fix it is to scroll back up to the top of the page, minimise the timer, and scroll back down.
I would prefer to have the timer box open when I'm working, but while it fills so much of the screen it isn't practical to do so.
Hi Antonia, thanks for highlighting this. We can see how a more compact timer could make it easier to track time without taking up screen space while you work.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular workflows or pages where the timer is most disruptive, we'd love to hear more about them.

Thanks for your updates on this. Further feedback, since you have asked for it.... it is most disruptive on the 'Clients' tab of the Partner Hub. My usual workflow would be to start the timer, then use the clients tab to open the client's Xero file. However, if the client is not on page one of my client list, I can't access the 'next' button at the bottom of the page as it is covered by the timer. I have to either search for the client using the search bar, or scroll up to the top, minimise the timer, then scroll back down to the bottom to use the next button. This then means I can't immediately see which tab I used to open the timer, which is inconvenient when I want to stop it again.
