Payroll - New justified list of employees

Hi Xero,

you are slowly converting all lists into justified (by the size of the screen) lists. Few weeks ago, the purchase orders were justified. We could not see them because the look was so unfamiliar.

This morning the list of employees got justified. It has only 5 columns. The look of this list is ridiculous and extremely difficult to read. On my screen the distance between the centres of the four columns is 13cm, and the blank spaces on the lines on average are 10 cm.

Please consider the agronomic aspects of the changes you make. Consider that we are still human beings with only one pair of eyes.

Please reformat this list as we had it in classic version of Xero. Or let us change the size of this table (and other tables/lists as well) so we can change it once to the desirable size and Xero is to remember our ‘settings’.

Hi Olga,

Thank you for sharing this detailed insight regarding the recent changes to the Employee list layout.

We understand how the increased spacing ("justified" view) on wider screens impacts readability.

As this post is providing a direct critique of a recent update and requests a return to the previous format (a rollback), we are treating this as Feedback rather than opening it as a new feature idea for voting.

Please be assured that we have shared your specific comments regarding the column spacing with the Product Design team for their review as they monitor how these new layouts are performing.

If you'd like to update your idea, you can reply to this update and we'll re-review - See more details on the qualities of a good idea on Xero Central.

    Hi Kelly,

    I can add another detail. All lists in Xero do have width limit. On the extra wide screen, it is impossible to "stretch" the list of bills or invoices to the full screen width. But the new employees list does not have that limit. On the extra wide screen this list will be justified to the full screen width. That looks weird.

    The product team is to restore that limit.
