Quickbooks Layout New vs Old
Quickbooks tried to migrate me over to the new layout format and I called to beg to be switched back to the classic format, and they did... for awhile... but now I've been switched back to the new layout and it's killing me.
I'm a contractor so I need to edit my invoices constantly. My customers are always adding work or making changes throughout the course of a job and so I always need to edit the line items. I also tend to be doing most of my estimates and invoices on the mobile app version on my phone because I'm usually in the field on job sites. The new layout does allow editing, however it keeps the item descriptions fully expanded. For me, my line items are like 3-6 paragraphs long because they describe contract work and have to be very specific. Without the ability to collapse the line items in the editing window it becomes this huge long scrolling adventure that drives me nuts. It also makes it ridiculously hard for me to see the overview of the project because the line items are separated by all the descriptions.
What used to take me 5min to whip out an estimate now takes me close to 30 min. It's so inefficient I'm at a total loss as what to do. Also because all of the form fields on the estimate/invoice have become separate, the loading times to edit each and every part have become really long. Sigh... I'm not opposed to the new layout features, but they really lost some functionality when they made such major changes. They need to make the line items collapsed by default so the descriptions are hidden. It has been a long time and I'm not the only one who has complained and I still don't see the results of all the feedback the community has given.
