Question

How do I turn off pop up alerts on QB online? I don't need to assign a class for every transaction I don't need to see the alert after every transaction I input.

    Welcome to the Community, @sdowell.

     

    We can turn off those pop-up alerts by updating by going to your Account & Settings page. Let me guide you how.

     

    1. On the Gear icon, click Accounts and Settings.
    2. Click on Advanced and choose Categories.
    3. Under Track classes, untick "Warn me when a transaction isn’t assigned a class."
    4. Click on Save.

    This solution is INVALID.  That check box is NOT available.

    Hello there, @MRusty.

     

    We can enable the Track classes feature in QuickBooks Online (QBO) to view the Warn me when a transaction isn't assigned a class checkbox.

     

    Here's how:

    1. Go to the Gear icon.
    2. Under Your Company, click Account and settings.
    3. Click Advanced, then select the Edit pencil icon under Categories.
    4. Turn on Track classes.
    5. Untick the Warn me when a transaction isn't assigned a class.
    6. Click Save, and then Done.

     

    You can check these articles to know more about class tracking and how to assign transactions by class: 

     

     

    Please let me know if you need further help turning off the pop-up alerts. Enjoy your day.

    When you decide to use Class Tracking, yes, you should be using it All the Time. That way, anything Unclassified is easily detected as an input error. Leaving "unclassified = general" means you have no way to confirm if that is the true condition or there were overlooked entry details.
