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.
79 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.
44 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.
35 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 - 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.
23 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!

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 - Improve Jobs Widget to show more information
Hi Team
I have been trialling the new Partner Hub for awhile now and keep reverting back to the old version simply because of the Jobs Widget. In the old version I could see the state of all my jobs at a glance on the left hand side. I have a GST job state set up so that I just click on that job to complete and file their GST returns. The new widget does not display enough jobs so I have to click into the jobs module, then click into filters and select GST filter then click on the…
5 votesThanks Sarah for sharing your feedback here. We understand the request for a more dense Jobs widget that displays more items at a glance. Having greater visibility from the dashboard could make it easier to keep track of work without needing to open the full Job Manager.
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.

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.19 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.

Homepage - Default filter preference and full scrolling on Partner Hub Jobs widget
In the new partner hub, when I filter the jobs widget to just show my jobs I would like that setting to remain. It seems to go back to all jobs if I go out and come back in. Also it would be useful if I could scroll down to see all my jobs directly in the widget.
2 votesThanks for highlighting this improvement, Kimberly. A persistent filter and scrollable job list could make the Partner Hub Jobs widget more efficient for keeping track of assigned work.

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.

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 | 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.
13 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 | 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.
22 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.

XPH - Fix the settings of client's job list
As I want to check the jobs frequently, may I know how to fixed the setting of display under 100?

Xero Partner Hub | Homepage - Add in a Work in Progress Widget
Next to monitoring Debtors, Work In Progress is one of the most important areas of a Practice to monitor. If this figure is not not regularly evaluated, then Cash Flow is directly affected, which will be of concern particularly over the next 2 years.
Again this is directly tied in with Client Jobs and their various DeadlinesAlso I have seen quite a number of Practices sold, with a large WIP that should have been completed and converted into Debtors.
4 votesHi Michael. We understand the ask in having a quick, at-a-glance view of Work in Progress (WIP) to help with billing and cash flow visibility. At the moment, this information is available through existing Work in Progress Reports.
We’ll track the demand on this idea, and keep this updated if there’s any progress to share.

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.

Jobs - Keyboard shortcut for editing jobs
I have to edit jobs quite often and it would be amazing if there was a shortcut key to edit the job. Xero Blue has a short cut key of Alt + Shift +D to edit an invoice. I think it would really streamline some processes if there were shortcut key options for XPM.
1 voteHi Emily, thanks for bringing this to the community. We understand the request for keyboard shortcut to edit job details in XPH. I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest. If this would be useful, add your vote and share how you’d like the shortcut to work.

Jobs - Upload document attachments directly to Job Costs
The Job Cost tab, can you add an upload function for document attachment - we want to add the invoice that you are on charging on to the client
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request to upload documents directly to Job Costs within a job.
Having the supporting invoice or other document attached to the specific cost could make it easier to reference source information when reviewing or charging expenses.
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 use the attachment.

Ability when filtering for "is not"
When a firm has multiple managers, partners, job categories, Job Status it would be good to tick an option at the top of the filter to say "is not" or "exclude" then you can apply less filters to get your result.
Eg show me all jobs for me as partner, except for one (or two) job managers, with all status (except for one or two)1 voteThanks for highlighting this improvement, Kimberly. A persistent filter and scrollable job list could make the Partner Hub Jobs widget more efficient for keeping track of assigned work.

Clients | Jobs - Ability to search
Please add "Search Function" under the client Jobs - same as in the job manager in order to search for specific "current" and "archived" jobs, the sort function is not sufficient.
