Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest surrounding this idea, however we want to be open that we're unable to extend our log-out time past 60 minutes. Xero hold a lot of sensitive information including bank data and we're required to be as secure as online banking.
Any session information running on a web browser can potentially be stolen. If the session does not time out. You then have an infinitely long vulnerability window to session hijacking. Our best option is to keep a tight expiration window on the session cookie, and regenerate them frequently. Even setting a long timeout doesn't help with this - too long a timeout will greatly increase the risk of invasion or potentially jeopardise your personal data and the safety and integrity of the Xero application itself. This is why we maintain control of this.
If we detect there's been no activity on a page (e.g…

Thanks for your feedback, Karen. 🙏
So others in the forum understanding what they're specifically adding their support for I've adjusted the title to reflect your first idea for filtering the Profit & Loss.
History of project activity is quite a different ask - we have an idea for recording history for all user activity that you may like to support and share in too. 🙂

This is critical for our business. In order to properly assess agency profit each month we need a breakdown by project of transactions and relative to the Chart of Accounts.
Please make this happen.

Hi all, appreciate the interest in this idea and its importance to help reduce eye strain and headaches for improved user comfort, especially during extended usage.
We understand that this has been a longstanding request, and we genuinely appreciate your patience and dedication to making Xero an even better platform for all.
While this may be a function we look to explore in the long-term, we want to be upfront that this is not something we'll be developing in the near term due to the complexities involved and the need to prioritise other impactful updates. We know that this may be disappointing but hope that this provides some clarity.
In the meantime, as some users have mentioned you may be able to use a third-party app like Google's High Contrast, which allows you to change the colour on your screen to make it easier to read.

If you are using Chrome you can force XERO and all sites for that matter to appear in Dark Mode.
While it would be preferable for XERO to implement this as an optional feature on their own. Based on my experience it's unlikely to happen anytime soon. I am hope I am wrong.

Hi community, some time passed since our last update in the thread here we do want to return and share - while our product teams explored possibilities for how we might represent Purchase Orders in Projects research has confirmed that there is underlying work needed to the platform Purchase Orders are built on before we can achieve any good outcomes of your needs here.
We have enthusiasm and a close eye remaining on the support for this, but want to be honest that this is not something that we’ll be able to focus our attentions on in the near future.
Once we have completed work first needed in the Purchase Orders space we can reassess how to integrate purchase Orders into Projects and will update you all of steps forward, here.An error occurred while saving the comment Steve Thompson

David Dunning,
I believe the “Project” column you are referring too is a Tracking Category labeled”Project”. Miss leading for sure. We’ve had to duplicate efforts in tracking all our XERO Projects into a “Project” tracking category as the existing reporting for XERO Projects is limiting to get a true P&L.

I think Xero is trying to replace the use of PO in exchange for their Estimated Expenses function in Xero Projects. That said, if that is the case. I'd really like some better documentation on this. The current functionality of Estimated Expenses + Tracked and Untracked Expenses is doing a poor job at providing this level of detail in the project reports and is incredibly confusing without knowing how it is designed to be used.

Our organization has had some success using "Estimated Expenses" as a replacement to PO's on Projects. When charges come in we can than track them to the Estimated Expense. This took some trial and error as Xero offers little documentation on "best practices" when it come to how to use the software.
However, the gap is once the expense it tracked you loose sight of its detail to what charges are applied to the Estimated expense in the Project Financial Report. They can be seen in the dashboard view of the project but once tracked all you get is the summary of Estimated vs. Actual.

I've come to recognize that XERO is not interested in building new functionality for their platform but rather would rather rely on 3rd party "partners" to fill in the gaps of their software.
I've not personally used this tool, but https://www.approvalmax.com/xero may be a good option.
