Your QuickBooks Coach: September 2012

Improved, Modern Navigation makes QuickBooks easier

Get to the information faster and easier with a simplified, more intuitive navigation
We took the best of QuickBooks design and modernized the look and feel, but all of your everyday tasks are still there. No relearning required
Bigger fonts, taller row heights on forms and registers, and updated colors dramatically improves readability so clients can focus on task at hand
New icon bar on the left of the screen gives easy access to open windows and most common tasks, such as viewing account balances and favorite reports
Easier on the eye with all the same powerful tools and shortcuts still there — we didn't remove anything, just made it all easier to find and use

Ribbon layout instantly shows your options

Save time with the new menu ribbon by getting instant access to the most commonly used functions on invoices, estimates, sales orders and other forms
See all the actions available at a glance without searching through drop-down menus
Actions are consistently placed and grouped so it's faster and easier to accomplish key tasks
Easily hide the menu ribbon to stay focused on tasks
Customer, Employee & Vendor Centers put more information at the fingertips
- See more of what's important with expanded contact information fields in the Employee, Customer and Vendor Centers
- Customize up to 8 contact fields to include more phone numbers, emails, web addresses and more
- Include multiple notes for each contact to keep important info in one place
- New tab functionality shows "transactions", "contacts", "to dos" and "notes" on the same page — no need to launch new windows
Additional improvements you've been asking for that make managing your books easier than ever
Reports: Add favorite, recent and memorized reports to the home page
Print Bill: Print a bill to route for approval or file for record keeping
Billable Time and Expense Preference: When entering time or expenses, you now have the option to control whether QuickBooks automatically bills for them. Separate controls for time and for expenses

Get apps with a few clicks

Take advantage of apps that integrate with QuickBooks and let you do more
Shop for apps right from QuickBooks (additional purchase may be required) — no need to visit multiple websites to learn more
Streamlined app setup, install and free trials — it's now one stop shopping with fewer steps
