  1. It would be great for those that have various type of color blindness to be able to change the color, say the user has an issue with the color red or green, being able to change the color would be beneficial.

    Thanks for letting us know changes that could improve your experience with the new homepage. It's great to have your feedback on Product ideas here.

    We're keeping an eye on what our customers are sharing back here and if there are any updates to share we will let you know, here.

  2. I would suggest adding "Drafts" to sales and purchases menu.

    Great to be getting this feedback and see the input from our community that are getting a gauge of the new navigation experience. Thank you.

    Our product teams are very close to the different needs being shared from our customers in the forum here and we will keep you updated if there are any plans made around the menu options for Sales.

  3. Allow searching for unreconciled transactions from the home page.

    Appreciate the interest this idea is receiving about the new homepage experience. Thanks for your input!

    It would be good to clarify here - when you say you'd like to search Unreconciled transactions, would you be wanting to do this across all banks at once, or within each bank widget?

    We don't have any plans around this right now, but are continuing to track the interest here.

  4. Where there are headings in the columns of the widget, being able to SORT by that heading..

    For eg, "expenses to review" can be sorted by any of the columns: "submitted by", "expenses to review" or "Amount".

    This would be helpful also in CoA watchlist, Recent Invoice payments or any other unseen widgets which have a list with column headings.

    It's interesting to hear the differences in views that would be most impactful for our customers. We appreciate you taking your time to feedback on the new experience.

    Our Product team are staying close to what our customers are sharing through the forum here, and if there is any update on this I'll be sure to let you know, here.

  5. I'd prefer to see the Tax Menu consolidated into either the Reporting or Accounting menu. Having more options just adds clutter and unnecessarily overwhelms users.

    Hi team, we appreciate the interest from you all on the new navigation experience.

    We're keen to continue tracking where our customers would find features the most useful in terms of navigation and if there are any changes for the location of Tax I will share with you here.

  6. Include a widget showing the running total for GST on the period so far

    Good to hear the value you'd see in having more visibility of GST from your homepage. Thanks for sharing with us here.

    Our product teams are paying close attention to the feedback we're receiving through this forum, and I'll let you know if there are any updates surrounding this, here.

  7. Adding 'statements' to the Sales drop down navigation. Simple addition, rather than having to go through the full Invoice page to send statements at EOM.

    Hi everyone, thanks for your engagement and sharing how we can further improve the new navigation experience for you here.

    Our product team are paying close attention to your feedback on the drop down options, and we're continuing to monitor the interest this idea receives.

    We'll let you know if there are any updates, here.

  8. Widget for planned supplier bill payments - either a summary of total by planned date, or detailed view of the next planned date payments by supplier (e.g. flexes to show planned payments in current week). Helpful for review prior to batch payment runs.

    Appreciate the insight around why a view of planned bill payments would be helpful - Thanks for feeding back on the new Homepage 😊

    Our product team are closely monitoring feedback we receive on this experience here, and we'll share if there is any update for this with you all.

  9. Unpaid invoices summary or ability to have a customer 'watchlist' on the homepage.

    Recent invoice payments is useful, but I care less about the detail of invoices that have already been paid - that money is in my account. I want to know the detail of what remains unpaid so I can follow up with those customers. It would be great to have a watchlist of customers, their total overdue balance, & average payment days, to be able to monitor on the dashboard. This could be enabled via a simple check button in the customer profile, similar to the CoA…

    Thanks everyone, we appreciate the appetite in being able to view outstanding or a summary of unpaid invoices from the homepage.

    Being closely engaged and feeding back with our product teams I can confirm your feedback's been taken onboard, however at this time there are no plans for developing a widget of this nature.

    We will keep assessing the votes this idea continues to receive overtime and should there be an opportunity that this is picked up I will be happy to share an update with you all. Thanks

  10. I would like to customise the columns that appear in the chart of accounts watchlist. I would like have yesterday's closing balance, last month's closing balance, and the change.

    I use the watchlist to monitor clearing accounts, such as daily takings clearing accounts, and being able to spot when a balance has gone awry would be very helpful not only for me but for our team who reconcile these clearing accounts.

    Would be even better if we could add more than one instance of the watchlist then we could have one for clearing accounts with the columns described above, and…

    Really appreciate hearing the detail of why this idea would be useful and how you use the Watchlist on the Homepage.

    We value all the feedback we're receiving on this new experience from our customers here and will share if there are any changes for this planned, here.

  11. On the Sales menu, I would like a sub-menu/fly-out to the right of Invoices with links to the Draft, Awaiting Approval, Awaiting Payment, Paid, and Repeating tabs on the Invoices page. This would enable me to go directly to the tab I want, saving a click or two, and reduce page load time instead of always landing on the default tab then having to click the one I actually want. Clicking Invoices should still go to the All tab. Same could be done on the Purchases menu for Bills.

    Alternatively, instead of a sub-menu/fly-out, add Draft, Awaiting Approval, Awaiting Payment,…

    Hi team, we appreciate your valuable feedback on how we could keep improving the new navigation experience for our customers.

    We appreciate hearing how and why sub menus could be helpful in some sections of the navigation and this is something our product team are monitoring closely.

    I will share if there are any plans or progress to share on this, here.

  12. I like the new look. Can the Business overview heading be removed and the customise button be moved up to where it is in the old homepage, next to last login? Screen real estate is very precious, especially when the client has a lot of bank accounts/credit cards that fall off the bottom of the screen and can get easily missed.

    Understand wanting to make the most important information visible. Thanks for sharing your feedback on our new homepage here.

    We're watching the forums here closely and will share if there is any updates that would help with what you're asking.

  13. Have a few options so a basic user can cut down on the noise and just have bank accounts and the profit graph, for a new user this would be overwelming.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate the attention this idea has been getting. It's really good to hear how we can continue to improve the Homepage for our differing customers needs. We understand not all the widgets maybe useful to every user, and the 'Edit homepage' button will let you add or remove widgets to reduce what you see on the Homepage.

    Taking on board feedback we're looking at the sizing of widgets and you'll find the 'Chart of Accounts' and 'Cash in and out' widgets are now smaller by default with an option to 'Make larger' - You can follow further updates for this on the idea here.

    We have plans to dig deeper into possible 'view' options (like the different levels of views being asked here) in the new year and I'll share further updates here when this gets picked up. 🙂

  14. Tasks. We would love to be able to manually add a task or reminder so that the next time we logged into a clients Xero we can see the reminder to check or do something.

    Hi team, as you may have seen from our Designer Jen's message this idea is in discovery with the team now doing some testing on early concepts.

    We'd love to have your input as part of this and if you'd like to take part we invite you to fill in this quick survey. 📝

    While we may not be able to invite everyone into these sessions our team will be in touch over the next few weeks.

    I'll be sure to share any further updates on tyhis with you all here. Thanks!

  15. Connected apps and recommendations - I would like to be able to recommend for clients on this page.

    We're grateful for sharing your experience with the beta for our new navigation.

    Our Community have reviewed and shared your feedback with our product team. Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  16. Fewer clicks - Help banner on each page. I would like to be able to disable this permanently for established clients.

  17. To have the search function look up bank accounts by name or number. As we have approx 80 bank accounts in one Xero dashboard scrolling to find the correct one is very time consuming, so a search function would be very handy.

    Thanks for your idea, Simone. Gosh that is a lot of bank accounts I can see why a search would help. No immediate changes planned for this but I'll share your feedback with our product team and we'll get a sense of others that'd find this useful from your idea, here. 🙂

  18. Would be great to customise the Homepage across all your 450 clients at once via a global setting. Then deal with outliers individually on their own homepage.

    Not sure why it's designed for single org users only. Need a way to do this on scale please!

    Awesome to hear you're getting a feel of the homepage, Charles. Thanks for taking your time to feedback on what changes would make the most impact for you.

    I'll make sure to share your feedback with our product teams. For now we'll get a sense of interest from others in the beta here, and I'll keep you updated if any plans for a global setting are made.

  19. The beta version of the new Xero layout. updated interface feels overly busy and cluttered, which makes navigation more difficult—particularly for clients who manage multiple bank accounts.

    I believe users should have the choice to switch to the new layout when they’re ready, rather than being automatically transitioned.
    Additionally, clients pay for Xero to streamline their financial management, not to have advertising pushed at them.

    The current design detracts from the user experience and makes it harder to find and complete tasks efficiently.

    Hi everyone, thanks for your continued feedback and we appreciate you sharing your sentiment here. We’re continuing to evolve the Homepage experience to better meet more of our customers’ needs, and your input is a big part of shaping those improvements.

    One of the strongest themes in the feedback has been widget sizing. We’ve now released resize options for the Tasks, Invoices owed to you, Bills to pay, and Net profit and loss widgets, in addition to the Chart of accounts watchlist and Cash in and out widgets.

    For the small size Invoices owed to you and Bills to pay widgets, once you’ve saved your Homepage, you’ll also see an option to toggle the chart on or off if you’d prefer to focus just on the figures.

    There’s more updates in the works, and I’ll keep sharing further updates with you here.

  20. The ability to access the setting for each menu item is great.
    The ability to create a sales invoice for billable expenses from the billable expense is outstanding.
    The button to View transactions on each bank account on the home page is excellent but I would like this button for accounts that have items to reconcile as well. Fewer clicksHelp banner on each page. I would like to be able to disable this permanently for established clients.Sales tab.
    Love the "Billable Expenses", Needs to be aboveQuotes. Need to be able to not bill them where I have a project invoice. Just assign the customer.
    Purchases Tab:…

    Hi Michele, connecting with our product team I understand you directly caught up with them on some of these points too. We really value the time you've taken to connect and feedback about these beta experiences.

    I've split your feedback here to multiple ideas so we can track interest in each change separately.

    I've updated the title of this idea to reflect the request to add the Account transactions' button to the bank account widget and you'll find the other idea's I've created on your behalf listed below. 🙂
