  2. I think it would be great to have a screen to manage notifications settings.
    This could present a long list of notifications for different things (e.g. for me the important ones are activity statement due soon, STP filing overdue).
    For each item, the user could select if they want it active, how they want to be notified (e.g. header line, or in a widget), and whether to be emailed (very helpful for people like me who only log in once or twice a week and do a days work).

    As a side note, the first of my important ones was…

  4. Custom reports as an option the Report drop down. I know we can favourite them, but if we have a lot of custom reports it's quicker just to go to the custom report page immediately and work from there.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on the new navigation experience, Hilary.It's great to hear our customers are familiarising themselves with the new layout.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Our product team are paying close attention to the ideas and feedback we are receiving on this, and we'll continue to track the interest closely.

  5. Hi Kelly, concerning projects, I have a thought or idea in seeing HOT Projects or URGENT or PRIORITY Projects in the Projects drop down just like the drop down on the Reporting button that you have Favorite Reports when you create custom reports or when you favorite some of the standard ones. Thank you, John

    Thanks for sharing how you can see us developing the new navigation experience to further enhance this for you.

    Our product teams are taking all feedback we're receiving through the forums here into careful consideration as they keep planning their roadmaps.

    We understand our customers have different needs when it comes to menu options and will share if there are any updates on this with you here.

  6. Great Change
    Upcoming changes are very useful. However, a small suggestion re. the home page menu: As an Accountant in practice would like the following order.

    Home
    Accounting
    Sales
    Purchases
    Payroll
    Reporting
    Tax and
    Contacts.

    Interesting to hear the differing views in terms of the ordering here. Thanks for your feedback.

    We're paying close attention to everything our community is sharing about the new navigation here and if there are any plans made around the ordering we will let you know.

  7. completing a cert IV in accounting and bookkeeping you have to become a user for approximately 10 different companies. Therefore once you have finished your course they sit in your My Xero, the only way to remove yourself as a user it to do each one, can you have an option to remove yourself as a user for multiple companies in one step.

  9. For the 'approve and pay' user the remittance function is limited. They should have the functionality to send remittances on a batch payment and also be able to access the remittance button at a later date. An admin member of staff needs access to the full remittance capability in order to complete their duties fully.

  10. Please add the ability to dismiss/hide the setup guide without the need to have clicked through and used all options in the guide. Some do not apply to my organization and so there is no way to get the blue setup guide button to disappear and it gets in the way of other things on the screen.

  11. I understand the ATO requires you to enter 2FA daily, but that doesn't mean the tickbox should uncheck itself every day.

    If I tick trust this device on Monday and login using 2FA, I can then login without 2FA for 24 hours.

    After that 24 hours, I need to login using 2FA again AND I have to tick the trust this device box again to get another 24 hour reprieve.

    Let us tick the box or another box that will remember our choice ongoing. So each day I only have to login using 2FA again but my choice to trust…

    Thanks for sharing this idea about remembering the 'Trust this device' checkbox if you previously ticked it.


    We've reviewed this idea, and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes and comments too!

  12. Get rid of this stupid MFA on EVERY sign in.
    It used to be monthly which was bad enough, now it is a constant pain having to use an authentication device just to get access to Xero. MFA is a complete waste of user time. My bank doesn't use it and I trust them not to lose my money, so why does accounting software need it?
    If the ATO insists on it with their stupid STP, then link it to STP and nothing else.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate your feedback about multi-factor authentication, and this has been shared with our teams internally. Security and protecting your data is highly important to us and we want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for removing the requirements for logging into Xero with multi-factor authentication.

    That said, we're continuing to improve the experience and offering more ways to verify your identity when logging into Xero.

  13. It's very hard to tell multiple organizations apart, particularly if they have the same initials. Currently, Xero simply displays the organizations' initials. It also assigns a random color to each organization. It would help distinguish these greatly if the organization settings allowed me to upload an avatar for each organization. Xero's Demo Company already illustrates how this feature would look. Also, it would help edit the color Xero assigns so that the color could match each organization's branding.

  14. Require functionality that allows quotes to be sent to management for approval before they can be sent out to customers.
    Purpose: to reduce business risk and ensure prices / vendor terms are agreed and approved.

  17. I’d love to see a feature added that helps prevent accidental data loss when entering conversion balances. Currently, if you leave the page without saving, there’s no warning and it’s easy to lose your work. I’d really appreciate a dialogue window that pops up when you try to navigate away with unsaved changes.

    Hi Karlee, thanks for sharing this idea.

    We've now reviewed your idea and it's up to the community to get behind and support it.

    Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that could benefit from the warning/ pop up notification on unsaved conversion balances before they navigate away so they can add their vote too!

    Other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  18. Please could you add a 'Back to the top' button, especially on the reconcile and report pages, but every page would be useful.
    After scrolling down many line items, it would be far quicker to have this function implemented for ease.

    Hi team, thanks for showing interest in this idea.

    While we don't have any plans for adding this within Xero atm, as mentioned in my last update if you're working on a desktop you can use the 'Home' button on a Windows, or on a Mac you can press the 'Command' key + Left arrow.

    This should help when navigating a long lists or pages like reports.

    We will continue to track the appetite through this idea.

  19. List prepayments separately from "Awaiting payment" report in Dashboard.
    At the moment, prepayments are lumped together with "Awaiting payment" reports in Dashboard. This gives a wrong view of the actual number of invoices that are awaiting payment. Please list prepayments separately on a different line.

  20. I have the a tablet and use a cover with a keyboard, it would be so much easier to use the app if the screen didn't default to portrait mode and activating the screen keyboard. Please allow the Xero app to rotate to landscape so that I can use the cover keyboard.
