Ask no more, @bjc31166.

 

You can open multiple QuickBooks Online windows by right-clicking the report, page, or tab you'd like to see and selecting Open link in new tab. Keep in mind that working in the same module (Payroll, Banking, Taxes) on more than one tab simultaneously may lead to one of the tabs being signed out.

 

To avoid this issue, consider checking out our QuickBooks Online Windows app at the link here. The app offers a multi-window mode that will allow you to multi-task in QBO without being repeatedly signed out. You can learn more about this functionality in our article on the matter here.

 

Please touch base with me here should you need any further assistance, I'm always happy to lend a hand. Thanks for bringing us your question, wishing you a safe and productive rest of your week.

Also here just to emphasize how painful it is not being able to right click and open a new window when already inside reports. If you forget to duplicate the tab before you do it, then you have to reset all your parameters on the report and it wastes a ton of time.

This is an area that Xero is WAY better at, so should be something that QBO prioritizes for us users!

I was having problems with opening multiple windows without getting signed out of QuickBooks each time. However, I was able to fix the problem by first creating a "tab group." Using Google Chrome,

  • Right-Click on the tab that you have QuickBooks open in (at the top of the web page)
  • Choose "Add tab to group" and give your group a name such as "QuickBooks"
  • Right-Click on whichever section tab (Sales, Expenses, or Banking that you wish to open in a new window) located on your QB's page on the left-hand side.
  • In the pop-up menu, Click  "Open Link in" and choose the group you just created (such as QuickBooks).  

This will open the selected section in a new window. 

I hope this helps. It seems to work for me in Google Chrome. Please let me know how things go. Best of luck.

I'm using google chrome and there is no option for 'open link ion group', only 'open link in new tab'.
