   Hi everyone, some time on since my last update I wanted to give you more of an idea of the work we have going on to help reduce the number of steps and actions in new invoicing. Along with the changes mentioned in my last update, we've since released a change to the view of an invoice to shift details back into their own columns (similar to classic), while a small change we know it's improved visibility for some of our customers.

   We also have other work in development atm that’ll further help here like a new line item grid when editing your invoice - wrapped up in this we’ll be introducing changes you’ve been asking for like the ability to create a new tracking option or account code without having to navigate away from the invoice, we’re increasing the number of items that you can view from the drop down, and we’ll be bringing back the ability to view the number of stock on hand.

   As mentioned in my last post, our team is developing shortcuts for the drop down actions like Approve and Save so you have more ease of selecting the option that's best for you.

   We also have some updates coming to;

   • The Contact card, so you’ll be able to add more details without having to go to the contact record, like more address lines, ability to look up addresses, and entering an Attention to all items we’ve heard lots of feedback on
   • Issue and Due date picking where we’ll make it quicker to simply select a calendar date and we’ll be adding more keyboard shortcuts such as the ability to enter +0 for today’s date
   • Ability to drag & drop files that we’re enhancing so you’ll be able to do this anywhere on the invoice rather than a specific area

   Again, thank you all for sharing and continuing to let us know the improvements that make a difference for you when working with new invoicing. We'll update you as items I've mentioned above are released.

   I've just quickly scrolled through the 3 pages of comments from Xero users and from what I could see, no one seems to be enamoured of the new invoicing format. Surely that should tell Xero admin that they have a ton of dissatisfied customers. And dissatisfied customers have a tendency to take their business elsewhere and tell everyone they can think of about their bad experiences. That is where social media really comes into its own. You do a good job, we will tell the world; you do a bad job, we will tell the world.

   Kelly, you state you have made some changes which will be beneficial for us, (the user of your programme, us, the people that pay to keep you employed) Adding a bin icon is not new, it was on the old format.
   What would be helpful us to reduce the number of steps in processing in the new format. For instance to add a new client, I now have to enter the name, tab, enter and tab another 13 times to get where I can save. OR I can type the name, tab, enter and then go to the mouse to 'save' All of this is double if not triple handling. The old format saved the new client automatically. It would be interesting to know how many clients complained about the old invoicing format. If I was really cynical I would say that you were changing the format simply to justify your wages. After all if it is all running smoothly, the Tech Support department could probably be halved.
