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.

    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.

      Here is an example of waisted vertical space.  I need to be able to see more accounts on this screen rather that is wasted real estate indicated here in red.

      I’m here to help you view more accounts on your Chart of Accounts screen in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @Chris2710.

       

      You can compress the account's list by modifying the settings of the Chart of accounts page.

       

      1. Go to Transactions and select Chart of accounts.
      2. Click the Gear icon and choose Compact in the Table Density section.

       

      Moreover, please note that adjustments to the Chart of Accounts layout are fixed by design. That said, I recommend submitting your feedback about its layout to our product engineering team for them to analyze and consider adding this for future updates.

       

      1. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
      2. Enter your comments or product suggestions.
      3. Tap Next to submit.

       

      Additionally, ensure to reconcile your accounts to make them accurate and up-to-date.

       

      Let us know if you have other concerns with the display of your Chart of accounts in QBO. We're here to help you in any way we can.
