    We recognize you prefer to use the classic view in QuickBooks Online, ebarauskas. 

     

    The option of defaulting to the classic view is unavailable. When pulling up the report, you'll have the alternative to click the Switch to the classic view to get back to the old interface.

     

    The recent QuickBooks updates have an unfavorable effect on your account-related work. Consider sending feedback to our product developers about this option. They might consider adding a possibility to default it to the classic view functionality. 

     

    Here's how:

    2. Select Feedback under Profile.
    3. Share your feedback.

    Yes I already am forced to using the switch to "classic view".  It's just a real pain.  There's an old saying "don't fix what isn't broken".  If Intuit is really responsive to users, it would offer the default option of modern or classic views.

    Hopefully you can pass this on to your product development people.

     

    Thank you,

      Please keep the classic view option for those who rely upon it for reporting purpose. Mordern view is not user friendly at all.  How can we default to classic view? QB, please kindly address the matter.  Some formation of reporting is not available in modern view and will cause great deal of problems for many organisation.

      I appreciate you for this feedback FP11.

       

      We understand the value of the classic view in your business operations. However, reverting to this view for certain reports is currently unavailable. 

       

      Please know that QuickBooks Online has acknowledged the need for enhanced reporting capabilities. Due to limitations with the legacy platform, we have transitioned to a new, more capable platform to better meet the needs of all our customers. This change has enabled us to introduce advanced features, such as the Custom Report Builder, ultimately leading to the creation of Modern Reports.

       

      Additionally, it's important to note that a list of standard reports in QuickBooks is still accessible in both Classic and Modern views. For more information, please read the Frequently asked questions about Modern Reports part of this article: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online using modern view.

      Moreover, here's an article that you can check if you want to customize your reports to focus more on your specific needs: Common custom reports in QuickBooks Online.
