I'm not sure why, but my entire message didn't get posted. So here it is. Hope someone sees it and helps!

 

On open estimates, almost completed, almost everything entered gets deleted & all of the columns are shrinking their widths for no reason. Any idea why? Can you help, please? Thanks!

Welcome to QuickBooks Community! I'm here to clear things out for you, @selfservicesucks.

 

You can pull up the list of open estimates you entered by Customer report in QuickBooks Online and filter it by status.

 

Follow these steps: 

  1. Go to the Reports tab, and then select Estimates by Customer.
  2. Click the Customize button and set the right reporting date, columns, and Filter it also.
  3. From the Filter section, find the Estimate Status drop-down any of the options.
  4. Select Run Report

 I've added a link as your reference: Run reports in QuickBooks Online. It covers the links to do more with reports.

 

 

If you have additional questions, please place a comment below. I'd be happy to help anytime. Take care, as always!

Hello, @MaryLandT.

 

Thanks for your message, but it doesn't answer my question at all. I know that I can adjust the columns. That's not the point. Again:

Why do I have to adjust them??? Why can't the columns stay the way they are by default? Why, sometimes, as I try to save an estimate, Quickbooks doesn't save anything and shrinks the widths of the columns at the same time???

And yes, I am using supported browsers. 

 

 

 


Thank you for providing us more details about the concern you're having, @selfservicesucks.

 

If you’ve already tried clearing your browser’s cache and using other supported browsers and still your columns are shrinking, then I suggest reaching out to our Customer Support. They can check your account in a secure environment and verify why you’re encountering this and help you resolve it.
