Wasted space in the ui

Is there a way to condense the information on the screen. There is so much wasted space! It is difficult to get things done on a laptop.

Wasted space in the ui

Thanks for checking in with us, germana-paterlin.

Are you trying to customize the view of your Dashboard? Do you need to adjust the screen preference and display on your QuickBooks Online? We would appreciate any information or screenshots you can give us to help us locate the problem.

Update me in the comments section below. I'm hoping to hear from you as soon as I can. Take care always!

Wasted space in the ui

For example, the P&L report screen has 5 menu bars and white space in between. By the time I get to the income line, I can only see 10 lines, at the most. I have to keep scrolling. All the applications in QB require a lot of scrolling to see what I need. 

2/3 of the screen is used for menu bars, search, etc. etc. separated by a lot of white space. 

I don't need a pretty user interface. I need an efficient interface. This is even more a problem with the "beta" reports. They are prettier, not more useful.

For example, the P&L report screen has 5 menu bars (!!) and white space in between. By the time I get to the income line, I can only see only 10 lines, at the most. I have to keep scrolling and scrolling.

All the applications in QB require a lot of scrolling to see what I need. 

Half to 2/3 of the screen is always used for menu bars, search, etc. etc. separated by a lot of white space.

Wasted space in the ui

I AGREE! The distribution of screen space in the UI is ridiculous. When I navigate to the https://app.qbo.intuit.com/app/banking screen to review my bank transaction, less than 5% of the page is actually dedicated to showing me the information that is the sole purpose of the page!! Huge blocks of wasted white space. It makes me hate QuickBooks. I want to see what I'm working on ... not ads or gaping white spaces. I cannot understand how all this white space in the design passed even the most rudimentary UI review. #astounded

 

The ONE thing I want to see (a list of transactions) IS NOT VISIBLE AT ALL WITHOUT SCROLLING.
