Screen views

QBDT Pro+ 2023

Many of the screens have the primary field in a column that is very small each time it is opened, and so each time going to that screen means we spend time "organizing" that screen ... increasing some columns and not others, This seems like a waste of time each time going to a particular screen. One example would be the Chart of Accounts. The main column (number and name of the account) is very small, and to read the detail of the account # and description, we need to expand that column. Some of the other columns also need to be tweaked. Then, if a change is made, say one of the accounts is edited, the screen returns to the original view with the primary in a very small column.

 

Is there some way to freeze a screen view so that this waste of time can be eliminated? I can't be the only person concerned about spending time doing things that shouldn't be a problem to begin with.??

Thanks for your time posting in the Community, @Deadwood Al

 

I understand that being able to maintain or freeze screen views can benefit your business and can save you time upon viewing each page in QuickBooks Desktop. This would be a great time to send this suggestion to our Product Development Team so they can consider adding this recommendation for future product enhancements.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. From the top menu bar, choose Send Feedback Online.
  2. Click on Product Suggestion.
  3. Click on the drop-down for Type of Feedback and select Product Suggestion.
  4. Select the Product Area, then enter your thoughts and suggestions.
  5. Once done, select Send Feedback.

Moreover, visit our Feedback forum page to see a list of other QuickBooks users who have already suggested this feature, as well as the recent updates in QuickBooks.
