Feature Ideas
Submit IdeaMobile App view for accountant/bookkeeper
The client portal app is great, but it would also be nice to have an app on the bookkeeper/accountant side. This would help be able to respond to client questions, etc on the fly. Logging in to Xenett on the mobile web browser works, but is sometimes difficult to see everything.

Automators
It would be nice to have automators that will be triggered when certain tasks are completed. So if a task is completed it can add a due date automatically and show under the task list for the next user or task that needs to be completed.

Color the field that requires clients feedback
Hi guys, It seems that lots of my clients don't actually READ the question I pose, and always think that I am asking for support docs. Would it be possible at all, that when I ask them to update the Customer, or the Class etc, that a coloured box appears around the dropdown for the information I am requesting? Something like this: This would also be really great when there are transactions where I need a lot of info - frequently I need the account, the customer, the class, and the support documentation. If each of these could be highlighted in a different colour, at least they would see all of the spots that I need them to fill in the blanks! Is anything like this possible?

Desktop version for xenett with real-time pop up notifications
Sometimes email notifications have delay, We noticed that when someone messages us through the portal we won't get notified until 30 mins - 1 hr later. Also, there is no sound when notification comes through. Sometimes we open lots of windows that it's hard to find the xenett website. I suggest there is an option to download desktop app for windows/mac so we can easily pin the xenett app in the taskbar and will also have option to get notification with sound like a ding or something and there is also an option to mute it. It would also be helpful to see the number of notifications if notification is enabled in the desktop app something like slack, please see attached screenshot. Thanks!

Ability to set auto reminders with a due date
I mentioned this is last month's call but figured I'd put it here also. I'm currently using Content Snare for statement requests because it allows me to set a due date for the client to respond by. It also has a series of emails that sends out on a schedule that says things like: Your accountant needs some info to finish your previous month's bookkeeping. This is due in 7 daysYour due date is approaching in 2 daysYour due date is hereYour information request is late This allows me to send the request and know the reminders will be set at a predetermined interval. I'd like to get rid of Content Snare and have all my requests in one spot (Xenett)

Push notifications for the app when client questions are emailed or a way to send notifications through the app.
It would be beneficial for those clients that use the app to know when a question is posted. Otherwise they just have to think to check the app or see the email. One of our clients prefers to use the app exclusively instead of checking her email.

Allow project assignment separate from task assignment
I am not sure why this feature was changed. But we used to be able to bulk assign tasks but now the project assignment is tied to task assignment. This is not very efficient when building a team. There is often a project accounting lead or perhaps a manager and then bookkeeping or other support is assigned to individual tasks in the project. Can we move back to this feature?

Client Users
When adding new client users, I would like a field to assign a role. For example: Owner, Admin, Coach, CPA, etc.

The ability for clients to split totals between accounts and classes
Many times, clients require a transaction total to be split across a couple of accounts and classes, and right now can only use comments to indicate that. Having the split option available would make their process more efficient and accurate, and increase their satisfaction with the Portal.

AR/AP Report Linked to QBO
When viewing the AR/AP reports in Xenett, you can only see what the amounts are. To research further you have to go to QBO, it would be nice if the report allowed you the option to "View in QuickBooks" once you click on the amount past due/over due. This would connect you to the QuickBooks account and pull up the outstanding bills/invoices in Quickbooks that you clicked on so you can research further.

Summary of All Comments
I'd like to be able to run a report of all comments, include which task / client the comment related to, who made the comment and when, who resolved the comment and the actual detail of the comment.

Client portal improvements
It would be great to make the following improvements in client portal: Have an upload file tab where they can drag and drop files to share with the accountant. Enable/disable the "private" question option at the client level instead of every transaction so that routing credit card questions to specific users is more efficient and to avoid tagging the wrong person each time. Have an option to hide client response and resolved questions on client portal. Make the name of who posted the question just initials and move below the "assigned to" box so that it doesn't take so much space. For Non-transactional questions move the box to the same row as the question so it doesn't take so much space.

Cash Flow / Planner
Create a cash flow / planner that shows daily bank cash balance, upcoming daily expenses based on past history or input. The purpose is to see how much cash is needed to cover upcoming expenses, will there be enough cash or which day the cash will run out.

Monthly Reports Video
I would love to be able to embed a Loom or Vimeo video as an opening to the published reports. So title page, then video overview, then reports.

Clear off findings in Financials Review tab
Currently if Xenett suggest findings in Financials Review tab there isn't a way to clear off the findings if the suggestion is not correct. Maybe a check mark similar to the review points tab to tell it that the findings are okay as is.
