How can I change the default behaviour of reports screens so that it doesn't hide the period etc. boxes? I never want to run a trial balance for this month to date!

Hi there, @dave19.

You got me here to share some insights about how the report period works on the reports in QuickBooks Online.

The This Month-to-date is the default Report period for the Trial Balance report. Know that each report in the system has a different default period. To view the details your desired transactions, you'll need to manually select the date range from the drop-down menu.
