History & Notes - Expand User access History, time tracking duration, and date filtering
Improve User History.
Allow History to show more than current number of entries (at least a month)
Even better - make it like reports where to can select option like Day/Month(s) etc
Also include the time of duration the user is in the account.This would allow owners to keep track of user's access account, including time duration for invoicing purposes. This would allow to go back to past accesses if there was any dispute etc regarding access.
1 voteThanks for sharing your feedback here. We appreciate the request for a more comprehensive way to review user activity across an organisation.
At present, History & Notes report can show recorded actions and timestamps, with the ability to search for specific date. However, this report does not show duration of when a user is active in Xero.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this would be useful for your organisation, add your vote and tell us what information or filters you’d expect from an improved User Access History view.

Make the Overall cash balance widget available in the web version
We have quite a few bank accounts and it currently quite difficult to see at a glance the total balance across all of them on my dashboard. Frustratingly the exact widget for this is available in the Mobile version but not in the web version. Can you please add it to the web version?

Homepage | Cash in and Cash out - Split by Business and Owner drawings
Allow 2 categories of Cash Out since i am a sole trader and my drawings are included in cash out so the widget is useless if i cant either exclude drawings or split cash out between Busienss Cash Out and Owner Drawings Cash out. Just keep the Cash out bar but split into two colours so that you can see Cash out Business and Cash out Drawings.
4 votesAppreciate you sharing the need in this split of the cash in and out widget here. We're tracking the ideas we receive on the homepage closely and I'll be sure to share if there are any updates planned for this, here.

Users - Login history only shows 60 days extend to longer period
I used to be able to sort by login history to see who has been working on which client account. This feature no longer is available it seems. Also, there used to be the ability to see a year's worth of logins, now it's only a few months. Why the change? This doesn't help when we are doing a year's worth of book-keeping for previous periods and I would like the functionality back to what we had in Classic. When using something New, please add and not remove well used and helpful reports and options. Thank you.
BTW, why did…
12 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. Currently the History and notes Assurance dashboard shows the date and time for the year.

Organisation Settings - Allow customisation of company name abbreviations (initials)
The 3 letters that are by the company name are automatically chosen by Xero, we should be allowed to change this to something relevant, for example, my company is called ACR Fabrications Ltd, common sense would dictate those 3 letters should be ACR yet xero has chosen AFL which is obviously the first letter of each part but that's not relevant to my company

Improve User Permissions for Bookkeeping Clients and Restore Published Report Downloads
The new Xero user permissions do not work well for accounting and bookkeeping firms that manage Xero on behalf of business owners.
There are two issues I would like Xero to address:
Issue One: Restore published report downloads for the “Manage Client” role
For existing organizations, the user permissions screen may look the same as it did previously, but the actual permissions associated with those roles have changed.
For example, users assigned the Manage Client role were previously able to view and download published reports. Those users can now view published reports but can no longer download them.
Please restore…

Homepage - Show Gross Profit
Gross Profit Widget pls ASAP.
This was always the first thing I looked at on my old homepage. I love the addition of Net Profit - Thanks4 votesGreat to hear you find the Net profit or loss widget useful! We're continuing to stay close to the pulse of feedback on the homepage here, so I'll be sure to let you know if there are any plans made for adding Gross profit or loss.

Homepage | Bank account - Make Refresh bank feed button stand out
Make the 'renew bank feed' button/message clearer, it doesn't stand out very well on the new layout.
5 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this, and for calling out how the renew / refresh bank feed experience on the new homepage.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining support. This means it’s not currently scheduled on our roadmap, but we agree it could improve key banking workflows, so we’re now watching community votes and comments to help us prioritise it alongside other homepage and bank feeds work.
Please keep adding any extra details about your workflow (for example, how often you’re refreshing and how many bank accounts you manage) and encourage others who’d benefit to add their vote — that will help us understand the impact when we’re reviewing future changes to the homepage bank accounts widget.

Dashboard - Add 'Financial Year' option to the Profit and Loss widget
Like others, I think the options listed for profit and loss on the hompage are too restrictive. The app has better options. I want to know where I stand financially including upcoming payments (to distribute profits) so I tend to use the "Finincial year" P&L rather than "year to date". The app has this but the homepage doesn't.
7 votesHi there,
Thanks for your feedback! It makes complete sense that you’d want the same visibility on your desktop as you have on your mobile app, especially when you're trying to track your financial position for the full year.
I’ve classified this as Gaining Support. While you can see this data by clicking through to your full Profit and Loss report, I agree that having a "Financial Year" toggle directly on the Dashboard widget would be a great efficiency win.
I've updated the title of your idea to "Dashboard - Add 'Financial Year' option to the Profit and Loss widget" to help other users find and vote for it.

Homepage - Widget List format neurodiverse friendly
It would be great to have the option to display the widgets in list form, like the old display.
As a neurodiverse person, I work in lists. With the old version every time i logged in, i would work my way down the list of accounts, ensuring i would finish before moving onto the next. This is particularly important as we have over 10 accounts.
Currently the page feels cluttered and has no flow. I can speak for the neurodiverse community, that it is a struggle to go into the homepage and not feel overstimulated. I can see 6 blue…5 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this. I really appreciate how clearly you’ve explained the impact the new homepage is having for you, especially around feeling overstimulated and losing the clear flow the previous list-style layout gave you.
I can absolutely see why having a list view would make the experience feel more manageable, particularly when you’re working across so many accounts. Your feedback is thoughtful and specific, and it helps show how important flexibility and accessibility are in this space.
We’re moving this feedback into gaining support internally so it can help build visibility around the need for a list-style option and a less overwhelming homepage experience.

Homepage - Widget for a customer/supplier watchlist
Watched Clients/suppliers widget
Summarise the invoices and Bills for a given contact
It would be nice to have an overview of specific (perhaps problematic) clients.
It would be good to be able to see at a glance:
- average payment timeframe (i.e. usually 5 days late etc.)
- current credit/debt value
- scheduled invoices/bills4 votesHi everyone, I can see how having a watchlist for key customers or suppliers would be really useful. Whether it’s keeping an eye on a major account’s balance or making sure a supplier hasn’t overbilled you, having those names front and center would save a lot of manual searching.
Right now, important accounts can sometimes slip through the cracks, since you have to remember to check on them individually. A dedicated watchlist would mean Xero could flag the status of these contacts the moment you log in, helping you stay on top of your business relationships.
For now, you can use the Account Watchlist to track overall categories, and for individual contacts, you can bookmark their Activity page in your browser. This lets you jump directly to their transactions and balances with a single click, saving time navigating through multiple screens.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so our…

Homepage - Negative values in brackets and coloured RED thoughout Xero, not just the Homepage
The only option is for the Homepage - but my suggestion is for the whole system.
Having negative values in brackets and coloured RED - easier to see at a glance. To me that should be a basic feature. Extending that to reports also so there is less filtering etc.
6 votesThanks for sharing your idea about showing negatives in red and brackets throughout the whole of Xero.

Navigation - Ability to change ordering of menus
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

New Homepage - Widget refresh button disappearing
If you're going to make us refresh every widget manually, don't remove the refresh button when we do. Let's leave it there in case we need to refresh again! We now have to refresh the whole page in order to have the widget refresh buttons return. How ridiculous
2 votesThanks for taking the time to share with us, here.
Refreshing of widgets in the new Homepage is only relevant to organisations with higher volumes of data. You can read more about this and recurrence of updates in our update on this idea.
When you click the refresh option the button will disappear as data's up to date at that point in time. However, to bring through latest changes (after an hour) or the option to manually refresh the widget the homepage does need to be refreshed.
Though we don't have any plans for changing the behaviour here in the short term, as shared on the other idea - we're always evolving our experience and will continue to evaluate how we can better serve high volume customers. Thanks

Homepage | Invoice owed to you widget - Increase font of 'Drafts'
Please make Draft Invoices in a much larger font and at the top of the widget. The widget is ridiculously large and Draft Invoice link is in microscopic font, lost at the bottom. You have to actively hunt for it. Please don't tell me I can rearrange my home page. I've done that. It makes no difference. This is another unhelpful change forced upon us.
3 votesHi Lou, a little round about to what you're asking here but our teams are working on an improvement to the sizing of some widgets that I believe will help with the feedback you've shared.
We're building smaller size of the Invoices owed to you widget which will feature the drafts option beside the graph so it's more visible. 🙂 I'll come back and let you know once this is released.

Global search - ability to search for amount including comma for thousand separator
This seems like an absolute no-brainer.
When looking for an invoice or payment, I often copy the amount from a remittance or similar, and it is a frustrating waste of time to have to manually remove the comma.
This should be easy to implement, and would make the user experience smoother seamlessly.

Homepage - Include items to review and drafts in the tasks widget.
Please can bills to review, invoices to review, expenses to review be included on the tasks widget. This was really clear in the old homepage design and now the things to do are hidden among all the bank accounts, which were previously grouped together nicely.
6 votesAppreciate hearing your feedback on this here. I can assure you our teams did a lot of testing with all aspects of the homepage prior to it's rollout however we totally understand there are different views of what information would be most valuable, where. This is exactly the type of thing we're keen to hear and understand the appetite of through product ideas.
Just to confirm, while slightly changed in terms of placement it's possible to view Drafts for Invoices and Bills in their related Invoices owed to you, or Bills to pay widgets.
This is now found beneath the graph where you can click the 'x' drafts text to go straight to the list of draft invoices (or bills).
We don't have any immediate plans for changing the placement of the Drafts link within the Invoices owed to you, or Bills to pay widgets however we'll begin to get…

Homepage - Projects widget with time and amount visuals
Hi,
My first thought is that the home page is overly busy. The graphs are great but there is A LOT going on. We have more than one bank account so that would make the homepage even busier. The task widget is a great idea but the recent invoice payments and chart of accounts aren't really useful for us. We would want to remove widgets that aren't used.It would be great to have a projects widget showing project time use and amount on the homepage.
Love the improved navigation at the top especially the reporting and tax tabs. This…
14 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts on the new navigation and homepage, Louise! I've just updated the title of your idea to help other members find and we can track the interest in a Projects widget.
We also have a couple of ideas related to simplifying the layout like you mentioned, and another for bolding of the navigation headings that you may like to vote for.

Homepage - Ability to add attachments to the task widget
A widget or chatbox where you can leave comments for accountant or business owner?
Ability to strikeoff and clear the comments/tasks. Ability to add attachments like screenshots or even videos will be a great feature for this widget.
This widget can sit on dashboard.
18 votesHearing the different ways our customers would find tasks on the new homepage experience most useful is really valuable. Thanks for sharing your interest in being able to attach files with us here.
Right now, our product teams are considering all the feedback we're receiving from our customers on this new experience, and we will share if there are any updates for this with you.

Homepage | COA watchlist - view all selected accounts
Please put back the full Watchlist view. The idea of a watchlist is to be able to see at a glance what accounts we need to keep a watch on. It's not 'at a glance' if the list isn't in full view and we have to scroll down.
Also, please remove the advertising and banners that clutter the homepage.4 votesAppreciate the feedback, Carol. Can see how if you've selected a large list of accounts to keep on your watchlist how scrolling the widget could be frustrating.
I want to be honest that we don't have any plans for extending out this widget further atm, however we'll start to get a sense of the interest from your idea here and I'll share if there are any updates.
