  1. When the screen locks it would be helpful to have the option just to logout. Currently if you have timed out but finished working on Xero you actually have to login just to be able to log out which is a waste of time.

    Appreciate the feedback here. While we don't have plans for adding a button to instantly logout from this inactivity setting we will keep watching interest in this idea grow and share if any changes are planned.

  2. Have a designated advisor / subscriber have the ability to remove multi factor authentication from a user so that a new method can be set up by the user.

    Purpose: For those businesses that have operators which are not tech savy, having either the subscriber or the advisor who holds a professional membership / qualification, who have passed ID verification processes, let the designated person have the ability to toggle off multi factor authentication so that the user and re set up their authentication process so that when their phone is lost or stolen and their alternative entry points don't…

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your idea, and commenting your thoughts.

    We've reviewed your 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 vote too!

    Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  3. Is there a way that we could see the names of opened Tabs so that we could see the name of what we are working on such as Balance Sheet instead of seeing Xero | Balance Sheet. When we open HST/HST returns, it shows GST/HST Returns which is great.
    We know we are with in Xero. If Xero has to show up, it could be added to the end of the Tab heading. This way, opened Tabs would be a breeze to drag in alphabetical order. This would also facilitate working with Workona resources to put Tabs in alphabetical order.

  4. This idea has been raised again and again but XERO isn't listening!!!

    The demo company is a great idea, but it makes no sense to automatically reload all the "duff" data every 30 days.

    It's VERY simple to achieve a very useful and flexible feature, by....
    1) Be able to clear all the data in the Demo Company
    2) Make the 30 day reload of useless data optional
    3) Enable cloning of an existing organisation

    We need to be able to test imports, features etc. and be able to return the "demo company" to EMPTY and if required to restore…

  5. Hi, on the mobile app, it would be really helpful, if when reconciling bank entries, when xero comes uip with its "suggestion", that is also displays the VAT line. Saves having to go into the suggeestion edit and check VAT is applied correclty

    Hi Ray, we understand how helpful it'd be to see the VAT/tax line directly on the automated reconciliation suggestion in the Xero Accounting mobile app. Currently, the mobile reconciliation suggestion card doesn’t show the tax line, which means extra taps and added steps.

    This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. Your votes and comments help us understand how important this feature is to the wider Xero community and guide our product team’s priorities.

  6. Audit trail of logins to Xero - there seems to be a series of different visual aids and short screen reports showing when a user last logged in, however from an audit perspective, it would be ideal to have a report that can be run for set periods showing when users have logged in. The information to run this type of report is there from the History and Notes report and the Assurance Dashboard. However a report that shows a time/date stamp would be ideal as evidence in cases of fraud/performance management

    Hi team, we appreciate the feedback and why you'd like to be able to look at history of logins for an organisation.

    Right now, while not a full audit trail like you're after here there is the Assurance Dashboard where you can view User Activity to see what actions users within an org have been taking.

    As many will know the History & notes report will also give you deeper insight into some of the actions made by users across your org.

    Being open this isn't something we have immediate plans for developing but will continue to keep a close pulse on this idea here and support it continues to receive. If there are any updates we will share.

  7. It would be nice to be able to give access to the History and Notes to Standard users. Right now it's only visible for Advisors while I believe this is a feature that could be useful to Standard users as well.

  8. Hi, It would be great to see customers who exceeded their credit limits on the dashboard. We push sales invoices from third-party app therefore we don't see alerts if someone has no credit limit left. If we could see a list on the dashboard we could act immediately. Thanks

  9. Our bookkeeper needs an audit file (IAF) to make our annual report. Currently downloading an IAF file is only possible for Singapore clients and not for Xero Global clients. Would be very useful if this would be available for everybody.

  10. We wish to let some of our users have access to purchase orders, raising & viewing etc.

    Currently if we give them access to purchase orders it also lets them see supplier balances and also click into the supplier and therefore into the accounts i.e invoices etc.

    We would like our staff to just see the purchase orders and raise purchase orders but not have access to anything else.

    Thanks for your feedback, Johanna. I want to be open, while we'll continue to work on improving the experience when verifying with Xero we don't have any plans to remove the Xero verification process or completely integrate this with other systems verification processes.

  12. For some reason "standard users" cannot see Manual Journals in the accounting menu.

    Please allow standard users to access Manual Journals from the Accounting menu rather than having to go to reports. Its just a time waster.

  13. 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.

    Hi Kirsty, having looped in with the team this placeholder is not something that has been developed in new invoicing and isn't on the immediate plans at present.

    For the time being, you'll be able to use the shortcut shared in classic invoicing. We'll re-open the idea to continue building traction in this here and I'll update you if there is any progress surrounding placeholders that'd help here.

  15. Dashboard - Account Watchlist to include current balance of account (not just MTD / YTD balances)

  16. Move "jax" and the new "Apps" icons into the Company Drop Down on the right hand side so they don't clutter our tool bar and you can go in there and chose to activate them or not.
    Give us some choice please - I'm not loving having the search icon so far over now, as it has to make space for these 2, which I will not be using.
    p.s. I did sign up for the Beta of jax and the first answer was wrong...

    Thanks for your feedback, Rachel. I've passed this onto our product team.

    We don't have any plans for changing the placement of the JAX icon atm, but it'll be good to get a sense from the community that also feel this way, here. We're keeping a close eye on feedback, and I'll let you know if there's any news to share with you here.

  17. Please make audible alerts to "messages", tips, etc optional.
    I wear earphones and work across multiple devices and it is quite irritating to hear "bloop" when working across multiple tabs.

    We don't need more vapid sounds in our lives!

  18. Would be nice when moving from Xero to Xero HQ and Xero Central to have it retain your login so you do not have to login to each site separately.

    Thanks for sharing your interest in single sign on across Xero's products. This is available currently across many areas or Xero. For example if you are logged in and working in Xero, then move across to Xero Central(our support hub) you may need to click the login button in the top right of the screen but if you're session hasn't ended you should find the page should refresh and automatically log you in.

    We appreciate wanting a smoother login experience that's recognised across all Xero products and will share if there are any improvements planned around this with you all, here.

  19. It would be helpful to be able to add shortcut icons on the dashboard for all of the things you use every day instead of having to go through the dropdown menus. (similar to the way the old quickbooks used).

    For example, have a way to put an "invoice" icon on the dashboard. Or add "spend money" on the dashboard. Basically have a way to add whatever shortcut icons you want as every business is different.

    Hi community - There are a few shortcuts that can help you get around and create transactions from many screens in Xero.

    The '+' icon next to Search in the blue banner enables you to create a range of different document types, similarly there are shortcuts that can be entered in Search from the blue navigation bar that will take you to different features for example entering 'r' you can quickly select and be taken to 'All reports'

    Are there other specific shortcuts you'd want to see here? 

  20. A user that has limited access but needs to be able to filter from the main screen not just start date and end date - it needs further drill down options
