  1. Dashboard - Ability to change the columns from the standard two to three or four.

    This would give me more flexibility to see all the data in one place without having to scroll down to see all our accounts.

    Hi all, we appreciate feedback we've received about improvements we could make to the Dashboard that'd better serve your needs. You may've heard that we have a new Homepage that'll replace the Dashboard and will be released to all customers over the next few months.

    With updated technology the new Homepage is much more responsive and will adapt based on your device, screen size and zoom functions to show a maximum of 4 widgets side-by-side. 😊

    I'll keep you looped in on when this is available to everyone, but in the meantime if you'd like to try it out jump into the demo company!

  2. As an Xero customer, I would like to be able to add Instagram as a contact field within organisation details, so that I can easily direct customers to my Instagram page.

    Instagram is becoming more popular than facebook, twitter and websites for certain industries.

  3. Invoice only user role that allows you to pick and choose either or both Sales and Purchase orders. quotes and invoices. At the moment you can only have Sales or Purchase IO otherwise you have to make standard user which is not helpful.

  5. Even though the above feature in XERO has great potential for add on value services to clients, example, 90 days cash flow projections, I am very surprised that no one asked, why cant we produce a report in PDF or Excel??? Isn't this an essential part of a report?

    Thank you all for your engagement with this idea to enable export options for the Short-Term Cash Flow projection in Xero Analytics Plus. We recognise that the STCF report is a useful tool for many of you and that exporting would allow you to share this report which is important in a number of different scenarios.

    It is worth noting that for users accessing Xero Analytics powered by Syft, the cash flow report can be exported in a variety of formats. If you haven’t checked this out yet, you can find more information here - Xero Analytics powered by Syft

    After carefully reviewing the current development roadmap, we have determined that this request will not be addressed in the immediate future. Therefore, we are changing the status of this idea to Not in the pipeline. However, the idea will remain open for votes so we can continue to monitor community…

  6. Would love to see the option to assign an expense approver to multiple expense submitters or even an 'Approvalmax' approver matrix function added to Xero Expenses. Currently using Xero Expenses to administer over 100 employees expenses and need stronger controls than central finance approving all. Happy to help design/ test!

    Hi everyone, we appreciate the number of users that'd like to see more mechanisms to assign and control who approves specific employee's claims.

    Our product teams have a close eye on this idea, and while this feature is not in the roadmap atm, they'll keep reviewing this as they continue to plan and prioritise work for Expenses. So, if there us any shift in status we'll share an update to keep you all informed on the idea, here.

  7. Being able to invite users to the demo company so that we can see how the system we are setting up works.

  8. It could be helpful to have the functionality to be able to copy and existing company in Xero in order to create a new one with the same details. This would make setup of the new one much faster particularly when companies have multiple entities that do the same thing just in different states / Emirates / countries even. You can pretty much copy anything else within Xero so it would be beneficial to be able to just clone the company itself.

  9. It would be great if it is possible to make a contact private in order to limited the users who has access to a contact, especially when the contact contains private information that should not be accessible by all users.

  10. To be able to export the graphs from the dashboard into excel or PDF, the same as you can reports from the reports page. There are no graphs that I can extract and those on the dashboard would be useful in adding to reports I send to board members who are not on Xero.

  12. Currently, it’s not possible to assign a invoice only-Purchases (orders and bills) user permission and not be able to see bills paid or to have the Invoice Only create drafts user role and see purchase orders approved by other users. Can you include this option in Xero?

  13. When raising client invoices, it would be good to be able to submit the invoice to a Manager for approval.
    When processing supplier bills, it would be good to be able to submit the bill to a Manager for approval of payment of that expense.
    In both cases, this would mean that approval details of "who" and "when" would be noted in the History of the invoice/bill without needing to attach a file showing the approval or tracking this outside of the system.
    Ideally keeping the Approval role completely separate to the ability to edit the invoice/bill as well as…

  14. There is currently no record of changes to User registrations in the xero file. This is a failure of audit processes.
    A description for each user would be handy to identify the role of each person within the Organisation.
    A start and End date would allow for Temporary access arrangements.

    Hi team, we appreciate the interest in this idea and how having a record of changes to a users permissions would be helpful as an audit in your Xero organisation.

    While this history event isn't in our immediate plans, we are closely considering how and what changes we record history for as we continue to develop parts of Xero.

    For the time being we are continuing to keep a watchful eye on the support in this here, and I will make sure to share if there is any news of this for you all here.

  15. 1) Limit which users can use this payment system (for security reasons)
    2) Limit how much they can pay out at any one time (for security reasons)

    Hi all, while we removed the Pay with Wise, as a follow on from our last update we wanted to confirm that we have released UK bill payments in Xero.

    Customers in the UK can set up direct bank transfer as a payment method for GBP bills to quickly and securely pay bills. Funds are transferred from your bank account by Crezco using open banking. The availability of open banking in the UK has enabled us to offer this on-platform. 🙂- Read more on our Blog

  16. Users that can create draft invoices should also be able to print off pdf's and packing slips of approved invoices

  17. We need to give a user the 'Invoice only (sales)' permissions but do not want them to view invoices created by other users or ANY sales figures such as 'total awaiting payment' or 'total overdue'.

    It would be incredibly useful to have tick box options for main permissions when setting up a new Invoice Only user. These permissions should include:
    - View sales totals
    - Approve invoices
    - View invoices created by other users
    - View Invoices awaiting payment tab

  18. It would be really useful if you could give a user permission to be able to reconcile and post bank transactions, but not see the bank balance.

    Hi community, your ongoing interest in giving users the ability to reconcile without viewing account balances is welcomed.

    We understand why this level of bank permission control matters. As recently mentioned in my updates on this idea, while we do have current work for user roles underway there is more complexities to developing permissions within the banking space and this isn't on the immediate roadmap.

    As we continue our journey to evolving roles within Xero we'll be sure to share any progress for permissions in bank accounts with you all, here.

  19. When posting conversion balances, you have to post balances at the end of the month. If you could select a day, i.e. 5th of April, it would make posting conversion balances a lot easier

  20. As the title suggests. A "view all" option throughout the product would be great. Or even view a year. Far batter than having to click load more over and over again. Especially when if you click off of the page you then have to laboriously keep clicking load more again and again.

    Also to have dates next to (Or instead of) page numbers in the various scrolling pages; cash coding, reconcile, etc.
    Having to select a page and another and another to try and guess where the date of the transaction is is ver laborious. Having the date range alongside…

    Hi all, we appreciate the feedback on how we could improve pagination for customers across different areas of Xero. A couple of updates here that may help with this;

    • We have added the ability to search and filter no the Reconcile page. Meaning you can quickly navigate to a Date range of statement lines you'd like to reconcile
    • As we update areas of Xero you'll find the selection for how many items to view is now held (examples are in Products and services, Invoices and Bills). So, if you navigate away from a page when you return you should still see that same selection e.g 25, 50, 100 items. The only caveat to this is using incognito mode, or switching browsers

    I want to be open that we don't have plans for rolling out a blanket change across all areas of Xero at once, if there are specific pages in…
