by Intuit• Updated 1 month ago

To keep things less cluttered when you're looking at your reports, you can hide rows and columns with no activity or a total amount of zero. This ability is only available for some reports.

Note: This does not apply to payroll reports.

Some of your reports will look different depending on whether they're in the classic view or new enhanced experience. Learn more about the new enhanced experience.
