Customize Left Bar

I'll like to share how it works in QuickBooks Online, Bmcc1200.

We're unable to customize the Menu bar on the left pane.

We can only hide and show them again by clicking on the Three-lined icon at the top of the screen.

If you have additional questions, please let us know. We'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Thanks for the update and quick reply. I'll be sure to keep an eye on this thread onevanilla

This is an unfortunate component of QBO.  It is ludacris to think all QBO users use all the functionality built into QBO and i the same way. Hiding menus is a fundamental and easy to implement programming task.

My last version QBD2012 was even able to customise the home screen.. I find it really annoying that I have to drill down to get to 'Customers' or 'Products and Services' these are things that I use 10s of times every day.

Hello bmcc1200 (and all)
What you are looking for is actually the [Business View]
By default you get entered in on the [Accountant View] (this can not be customised) where the [Business View] can be.

To switch to...
To switch to [Business view] click on the [GEAR ICON] on the [TOP RIGHT]
Then on the [BOTTOM RIGHT] you'll see [ Switch to Bisiness view] click on this
Now you can customize the left menu bar

To revert back...
To revert back to [Accountant view] simply follow the steps again and the option displayed would now be [Switch to Annountant view]


That all that's needed. Hope this help everyone and [Like] [Subscribe] and [Comment]
