Hi there, 

 

Running reports in QuickBooks Online is made simple and hassle free. It's essential that you're able to make adjustments to reports such as the General Ledger or Journal report. I'll explain how to adjust the columns, or to rearrange and add additional columns to your report. I'll also explain how to ensure your changes stay put for the next time you run the report. 

 

To adjust the column margins on your report, simply hover your mouse over the dividing lines between columns. You'll see your cursor turn into a grabbing tool, and then you can simply click and drag to adjust column width. This will help you edit the look of the report to fit your needs.

 

If you're trying to add or remove columns on the report, click the small Gear icon on the top right-hand side of the report, and check off the boxes for the columns you'd like to include (or uncheck ones you'd like to exclude). 

 

Regardless of the types of changes made to any report, if you want to make sure your changes are saved, click Save Customization at the top of the report. Then, when you click the Reports tab to find your report next time, you'll click "Custom Reports" at the top of the page to see the reports you've previously customized and saved. 

 

I hope this helps clear things up for you so you can work with saved custom reports moving forward. If you have any other questions, or need assistance putting these steps into action, please reach out to our tech support team and an agent would be happy to help. 

 

Have a wonderful day.
