Homepage - Bank balance widget chart
The new homepage layout removed the 6-month historic bank account balance chart, so now we're only left with a 1-month view in the bank accounts tab.
Can you consider having an option to display the balance history chart on the home page widget once again, or make the chart on the bank accounts tab configurable to display the previous 1/3/6/12 months? It might also be worth considering an option to project the next 1 month balance based upon known income and expenses.
136 votesHi there!
Thanks for sharing such detailed feedback on the bank balance charts.
I’ve categorized this as Gaining Support. While we don't roll back to previous versions of the homepage, I’ve refined your idea to focus on making the balance charts configurable (1, 3, 6, or 12 months).
This covers your need for historical data while allowing for future flexibility.
Since our forum works best with one idea per post, I've focused on the chart visibility first. I’d recommend raising the "balance projection" as a separate suggestion so it can be voted on individually!

Homepage - Add the ability to group widgets together
With many accounts on the homepage (for example multiple currency accounts), it would be great to be able to drop the widgets into a group. Almost like the iPhones home screen. The difference would be that I could have the ability to resize the group to display the widgets in the group so they could be seen all at one (if desired). e.g. A collapsable view. e.g. All my EUR accounts grouped together.
Rather than making the group resizable to any size, it would be limited to a 3x1 or a 1x3 arrangement, Or some other practical variation
61 votesHi everyone, it makes a lot of sense to want a cleaner way to organise dashboard widgets. When related items like bank accounts or invoice summaries are grouped together, it’s easier to find what you need without much scrolling..
For now, you can use the Edit dashboard button at the bottom of the page to reorder widgets—move your most-used ones to the top and hide the rest.
This idea is now Gaining Support, so we can see how many others would like more control over dashboard layout. We’d love to hear how you’d group your widgets—keep the votes and comments coming!

Navigation - Add 'Statements' to Sales drop down menu

Homepage - Ability to control what messages and adverts appear
The Dashboard has been used as an advertising medium lately as well as a messaging medium informing users about Xero's latest acquisition or some new feature they want users to know about.
The dashboard is a useful feature but distractions on the dashboard kill my productivity. Also, Xero have existing ways to communicate with users (email, xero messages/notifications, community forum, Xero blog etc etc) - they should leave the Dashboard for business use.
They should also leave support messages for business support use only - have a look next time you contact support - they avoid answering the question but…

Homepage - Ability to customize
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.

Navigation - Sub menus on Purchases drop down for different statuses
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,…
107 votesWe appreciate you sharing feedback on the changes we could make to further enhance the new navigation for you, here!
Understanding that sub menus or more levelled drop downs could be helpful in some places, this is an idea our product team have a close eye on.
If there is any news I'll share an update with you all on this, here.

Homepage - Search for bank accounts widgets
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.
123 votesThanks 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. 🙂

Homepage - Administrative control to manage widget layouts for other users
We have various users from accounts administrator to operations managers and the new home screen will automatically show them extra information they don't necessarily need, as in, the operations managers should ideally have the bills and invoices front and centre and not really each other's credit cards. Also, the profit and loss widget is extremely annoying being there as our management is presented with monthly accrual basis accounts and use a custom P+L that require a large number of journals done so the profit and loss widget is wrong until the journals get done. At the moment, the only way…
29 votesHi Debbie, thanks for sharing this idea! Giving a Subscriber control over the team’s homepage layout would be really useful—helping everyone focus on the right tasks while keeping sensitive information private.
Right now, each user customises their own dashboard, so it can be tricky for admins to know exactly what’s visible. For now, User Roles can limit access to certain data, or you can share a simple SOP with a screenshot of your preferred layout for staff to match.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can see how many in the community would find this helpful. Your feedback really helps guide what we look at next.

Navigation - Add Custom reports access to Reports menu
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.

Homepage - Display the Current Lock Date
Add an optional setting to display the current lock date clearly on the Xero home page so it is visible at all times.
This would help reduce simple processing errors, especially as automation becomes more widely used.7 votesThanks for sharing in Xero Product Ideas, Scott. Can appreciate how more visibility of this setting for some user roles maybe helpful.
This isn't something we have in our pipeline atm, but we'll get a wider sense of interest from others in the community here and I'll share if there are any plans made.
For now, share this with any colleagues that'd also find this helpful so they can add their vote.

Homepage/Navigation - Softer non-high contrast bright blue colour used for banner and action buttons.
Change the high contract blue colour back to the softer on the eye colur before the recent update.
Recent update changed the font and blue background on menu banners and buttons in the desktop interface
* The new blue color is too bright, causing fonts to appear blurry and creating harsh contrast that is difficult to read.
* Request to restore the previous blue color due to readability and eye strain concernsThe old blue and new blue can be seen together in the hep chat.
4 votesHi community, we appreciate your feedback on the recent colour changes across Xero, this has been shared back with our teams and they are keeping a close watch on the feedback here, however I want to be upfront that we don't have any plans to change this further at this stage.
We will let you know if here if there are any further updates planned for this.

Invoice Editor - Registered Business Name in Footer
"Doing Business As" is an important aspect of doing business because it allows separation of business and organizational administration as well as important banking, tax and branding functions. Something as mundane as cashing a check at the bank can be done in the name of your registered brand or dba but not if the check is written out to an LLC or Inc. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to make this distinction officially in the Xero software. As an example, my company is X-Ray and Digital Services, LLC but I do business and all my branding is…
6 votesThanks for sharing this idea with us Joseph, we understand that having the registered business name and address in the footer of the invoice is something you would like see returned to the invoice settings options. This Ides is now open for others to vote and comment on so we can gauge interest from the wider community. I can see that you have raised this wiht our Support team and they have suggested using the DOCX invoice option, however you can also add the registered business name and address to the bottom left of the standard invoice by utilising the Payment Notes section as seen in the screenshot Below. Any updates to this idea will be posted here.

Homepage - Ability to search unreconciled transactions within the homepage
Allow searching for unreconciled transactions from the home page.
82 votesAppreciate 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.

Homepage - Allow custom or extended timeframes (12+ months) for Cash In and Out widget
Can we be allowed to change the time selection on the cash in and out view (eg to 12/13 or even 18 months?) seems to be stuck on 6 months for me. I think to see trends you really need to see at least a year
26 votesHi there, thanks for the suggestion!
You're right that the current 'Total Cash In and Out' widget is fixed to a 6-month view.
While you can see longer periods by running a Cash Summary report, I understand that having that 12 or 18-month trend visible immediately on your dashboard would be much more powerful for spotting seasonal patterns.
I’ve classified this as 'Gaining Support' to see how many others would like more flexibility with this widget's timeframe

User - Customizable Viewer permissions by feature and tracking category
Viewer permissions - Ability to customize Viewer permission for users. Eg If I want to provide viewing access to only Bills but not for Bank accounts. Also, ability to provide access to users based on Reporting tracking category, this is very useful for not-for-profit organization, where many staff are volunteer and we would like to assign user based on reporting category.
9 votesThanks for raising this, Reshma. We understand the request for more flexible View Only permissions, so access could be limited to specific areas.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. What would you want to be able to include or exclude when setting up Viewer access?

Financial Settings - Hyper link to Lock Date from other areas
Lock Date Message - link directly to financial settings
Adding a hyperlink when you get the lock date error message to take you directly to the financial settings to update this instead of having to navigate there manually.8 votesThanks for bringing this to us Kory, we appreciate the time taken to let us know that having a hyperlink to the lock date section in the Financial Settings would be desirable.
