Navigation | Search - auto close and remove entry
I have seen the new Xero update, and the search bar has changed (only looks and complaints)
1. The search bar stays open, so you manually have to close it, which is slightly annoying.
2. Your search stays in the bar when it is closed. So when you open the bar again to search for something else, you have to delete the original search. If it has been a while since you last searched, you forget, and it can be so frustrating.If the search bar were fixed (actually finding things I were searching for), I wouldn't mind. But this…
1 voteInteresting to get your feedback on this, Jodie-May. It'll be good to get a sense of the wider community appetite in this too. Our teams are paying close attention to the feedback on the new experience and I'll share if there are any updates for you here. Thanks

Homepage - Widget for overall cash balance
Overall Cash Balance widget for Xero Dashboard. I actually love the Overall Cash Balance widget for the app. Can we have that as an option for the Xero Dashboard for the web version as well? It's handy to be able to log in and instantly see the total cash for my business.
59 votesHi team, it's great to hear the use you find in this widget on the app. With the new homepage experience our product teams are listening closely to feedback and I've made sure to pass this on. We'll let you know if there are any plans to add this on the web version, here.

New invoicing - Don't allow Invoice Only Draft Only user to select Create new item
When I am logged-in to Xero as a user with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions, it is my understanding that this user should not be able to create new invoice items or see menu options for creating new items. However, it appears this user can see this menu option when adding a line item to an invoice and attempt to create a new item, leading to an ambiguous error message.
Expected Behavior:
User with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions does not see and cannot select any menu options for creating a new item that can be…8 votes -
Multicurrency - Different exchange rates per bank account
Multiple bank account with similar currency but to apply individual exchange rates for accounts with the same currency.

Dashboard - List prepayments separately from "Awaiting payment" list
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.11 votes -
Notifications - Turn off all pop up notifications/errors in Xero for all users
Option to turn off error messages and pop up notifications for the entire organisation.

Dashboard - Remove the "Loading your transactions" message
Right now, the dashboard shows "Loading your transactions" for bank accounts far too often and for far too long. The dashboard should always show the current state of the user's accounts, not what is essentially an indeterminate progress bar. It would be more user-friendly to remove the message entirely because it doesn't give users any actionable information. If new transactions come in while the user is doing things, simply update the dashboard to indicate that there are new transactions to reconcile, even if the user just finished reconciling what was there before.

User permissions - Ability to bulk delete users
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.
18 votesHi team, thank you for sharing back with us on how providing a bulk tools to remove users from an organisation would be helpful.
Being upfront this isn't something we have plans for developing right now but are continuing to watch interest in this idea grow. We will share if there are any updates.

Notifications - Screen to maintain settings for notifications
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…
15 votesHi everyone, I know it's some time on since our last update and I wanted to confirm here that at this time we still don't have any plans around for a org wide notifications settings page.
However, as noted in my last update you can set a reminder for Activity Statement lodgments.
And a little over a month go we introduced settings within Expenses so you can control the type of notifications you receive when an expenses is submitted, approved and declined. 🙂
We'll continue to keep considering how we can incorporate more controls for notifications as we continue to develop parts of Xero. I'll share if there are further updates around this here. Thanks

Organisations - Indication/Warning/Flag when changing organisation
It is too easy currently to click back/undo one too many times and end up inadvertently posting into a different organisation from the one you were working on.
I was showing a colleague how to do something in the Demo company, but I clicked back too many times and ended up making my dummy postings into a client's organisation instead.
For accountants and bookkeepers who have multiple clients and multiple transactions to post, this could create a lot of unnecessary work that can easily be avoided by some kind of indication that you are changing organisation.4 votesHi team, we understand wanting more of an indicator when you're entering data in the demo org, and with our new navigation experience you'll now have a banner at the top of the screen to let you know that you're in the demo company to avoid wasting time of data entry that should be in your actual org.
We want to be upfront that this banner is only applicable for the demo company, so not exactly what is being asked in this idea but hope it goes some way to helping in scenarios like has been shared here.🙏

My Xero
It would be nice if My Xero could allow sorting by the number of unreconciled transactions. Being able to sort by the number of comments would be nice too
3 votesHi Christine, just making sure I understand what you'd like to see here. Would this be to sort all organisations you have access to from your My Xero page ordered by the # of unreconciled items ?

Logout now option on the timeout screen
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.
10 votesAppreciate 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.

Notifications - Ability to create custom notifications
CUSTOM STAFF / BUSINESS NOTIFICATIONS
This page states I can set up custom notifications in the business section under features and notifications but this is not available in my xero, only 'practice organizations' have these features.
I want to be able to set up notifications or reminders for my staff. For example to follow up a sent quote or other tasks.
Also, I think quotes should have the same reminder system as invoices as I think this will assist with getting quotes accepted.

MFA | Role that can enable another user to reset multi factor authentication
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…

Demo Company - Clear ALL, don't reset, optional data reload and cloning
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 organisationWe need to be able to test imports, features etc. and be able to return the "demo company" to EMPTY and if required to restore…
21 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea and engaging with us on this in Xero Product Ideas.
We can see the value in making the demo company more practical for testing, especially in being able to have greater control over clearing data, managing resets, and using a more relevant set of information to validate changes with confidence.
We have intentions of developing this area, and while this specific idea's not been roadmapped at this time, it's been highlighted and will be carried forward for thoughtful consideration in product planning.
If there are any updates we'll be sure to share with you all here.

Navigation | Tab headings - Remove the word Xero, leave title of tab
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.1 voteThank you for sharing your idea and highlighting the changes that are most important to you.
We have reviewed your suggestion, and it is now available for community review and support. Please share it with your colleagues who would benefit so they can add their vote and detailed comments on how this improvement would enhance their experience with Xero.

Xero Accounting app | Reconciliation - Show tax for suggestions
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
1 voteHi 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.

History & Notes - Login - Timestamps for login history
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
29 votesHi 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.

Global Search - Enter terms/phrases and show similar results (not just exact matches)
Update the search box to allow for search phrases to rank within the search box...not just exact matches. it's not particularly beneficial for a search query to result ONLY the exact match if you're searching for a match and probably don't know the exact phrase for a contact/business/customer.
For example,
"Jack Jones" produces no results when the contact is actually "John Jones".
Searching "Jack Jones" should produce a result with all contacts that include either "jack" or "jones". Producing no results is not an accurate representation of the total database.
29 votesHi everyone,
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback and explain how this would improve your experience with Global Search.
We’ve reviewed this idea and are moving it to Gaining Support so we can continue building a clearer picture of how valuable this would be for customers.
The suggestions and examples shared here have absolutely been noted. They help highlight where the current search experience can feel limiting, and they give our team useful context about the types of improvements customers would most like to see. The feedback shared so far is thoughtful, constructive, and well worth capturing.
If this idea would help you, please keep voting and add any comments or examples of how you’d like this to work in practice. Real examples of what you’re searching for, what results you expect, and where the current experience falls short are especially helpful as we continue…
