wasted space, colours and column widths

Is anyone else having issues with masses of wasted space, colour similarities and column widths in the online version of MYOB?  Basically the visual layout of MYOB online sucks!

White space - as an architect I get the use of white space when presenting a design to clients.  As a bookkeeper I want to see data, data and more data.  I don't need pretty spaces and acres of white space.  I'm losing 1/3 of valuable screen real estate to wasted white space.  How do we get back to the core of our business which is data?

Colours are my next bug bear.  I have to continuously switch contrast on in Chrome, and even that's not great.  For instance when I'm manually entering a bill and want to arrow down to an account to select I can't freaking tell which account is the one highlighted, and it only displays 3 at a time.  Whatever happend to the selected option being obvious?

While I'm griping about the screen layouts can the developers please spend a few moments and allow us to set column widths ourselves.  If we look at Bank Transactions as an example.  I do not need 1/4 of the screen to be allocated to the column 'Method', most of the time it's displaying 1 word, and a word I don't need to see.  What I do need is a lot more space allocated to the 'Account' column so I can see which account the transaction is for.  Yes, I can set it to only show one account at a time, but that is inefficient.  30 characters in the 'Account' column would save me masses of time.

    Hi VenesserO

     

    Thanks for sharing this feedback. I can understand your thoughts about that, when you're working in a data-heavy area and need to see more information on screen at once.

     

    What you've raised here sounds more like feedback on the product's layout and usability rather than a specific account issue we can troubleshoot from support. If there are changes you'd like to suggest around spacing, colours, or column widths, the best place to post them is our Ideas Board so they can be reviewed by the product team for future consideration. After posting there, other users can vote on it so the development team can gauge interest on that suggestion.
