Idea Name: Add Preview option to Print/Email Statements Screen


Idea Text: Please add a Preview option to the Print/Email Statements screen, so that I can view a statement on the computer without printing it

 

"Add preview option to the print/email statements screen"

Current Status: Open
Last Changed: December 2013

Thanks for the great idea SimonNZ. Being able to view the statement before it's printed or emailed could certainly help with checking data entry and data validation before submitting to your client. We would love to hear what others think about this.

Hello,

I imagine this would be very frustrating. I have downloaded cutePDF writer programe that would solve this problem for you. I got this off the website...

"CutePDF Writer allows you to save documents to your hard drive as a pdf. CutePDF works just like having a printer connected to your computer: From your “Print” dialog box, select “CutePDF Writer” instead of your usual printer, and a .pdf file will be saved in the folder you choose." this is where you could rename the documants in dividually and would be much easier than the process you use at the moment. To download this, go to http://www.downuload.com/cutepdf-writer/?utm_source=adwords&utm_content=CutePDF-Writer&gclid=CKGO9cW...

 

Hope this help get around you problem for now!! Smiley Happy

Thanks for sharing the excellent work around @Bellejayne.  A third party PDF printer like CutePDF would certainly allow you to save a PDF copy of statements in the meantime.

Hello @Shield-King1 

Thank you for your feedback in regards to preview before sending statements, however this has not been implemented yet. We will update the forum when we get an update from the development team. 

 

In the meantime any other users that want to see this function implemented please do vote and comment on the idea

To me it is an obvious necessity to be able to preview statements before they are sent if you need to .  An obvious option which should be standard not having to vote and then maybe get it implicated.

Hi @Shield-King1 

Thank you for your feedback.

As mentioned previously the AccountRight Idea's Exchange is a way in which we can get client feedback and ideas as to what they would like implemented in the program. The ideas may be some new ideas/features the development team can look at adding into the program or some ideas that have been clients believe should be standard in the program. All ideas and investigated by the program development team. We encourage clients to vote for an idea to gage the level of need by the Community to look at implementing a particular idea ahead of others.

Once again thank you for your feedback. I have shared it with the team.

Hello @Steven_M 

 

What MYOB seem to be not taking into account is that out of the reported 95,000 customers only a very small portion actually use the community website and idea exchange therefore it is a very poor way of guaging customer demand.

 

Thanks.

Hi @Kelly81 

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that not all MYOB customers are aware of or use this Community Forum. We are certainly working on changing that, as we think its a great resource. In the meantime, we currently have just over 73,000 registered users. Which we think is a considerable number. Therefore the votes by the members of this forum does help us gauge the percentages/ratio of the number of clients in the larger MYOB community that would like a particular feature / function.

 

Having said that, as we've mentioned in the past, the number of votes is just one of the measures we use when considering an idea and its potential implementation. We still look into the impact it will have and the feasibility of implementing it in our decision making process.

Similarly to invoices and purchase orders, it would be really helpful if we could quickly and easily view customer statements to screen before sending.
From talking to the helpdesk this evening, it appears the only current option is to 'print' the statement via Microsoft XPS document writier - which actually saves the document down, so you need to locate it to then open and view it.
