Feature Ideas
Submit IdeaMake single sign on option so users can log in using their Microsoft or Xero credentials
Now delivered! Single sign-on with Azure and Xero - this means when you go to sign in with AA, you can use the same login as Azure or Xero. This is a a firm decision - under security - which logins can you allow - user name & password, or Xero login, or Azure. You can turn things on or off depending on what the firm wants.You would want to link AA account within Azure. So you do it once, then can log in with each user. So from an administrative perspective, it is very simple. It makes things very centralised and can be administratively managed. Is this something that would be useful?

Mark some attachments as 'permanent'
A user suggested that "permanent" attachments be possible i.e. automatically flag as permanent so they are brought forward without having to tick - for key documents such as trust deeds or constitutions. It would be good to be able to view all these from one tab also.

A way to extend substantive testing to test more items without deleting the existing sample
Raised during training. If a sample is made based on performance materiality of say 20 items, and the sample reveals errors such that it is decided to extend testing to test say another 20 items, how is this possible without deleting the original sample and starting again (which will get rid of all that testing work)?

Multi Year journals
I was wondering whether we could look into a feature that allows for journals to be implemented through prior years? This would make things particularly more effective when it comes to multi year audits

Add Engagement Letter into Z14 - Finalization Checklist
I wanted to suggest that in Z14 - Finalization Checklist, we should have a box to attached the final signed Letter of Engagement. This would be helpful as it ensures that all the final documentations are in one place and that the Letter of Engagement does not get forgotten to be re-uploaded at the end of the audit or buried elsewhere at the end of the audit.

Requests auto follow-up
Some clients are particularly bad at responding to requests. An auto follow-up of requests would be useful. If not responded to after the initial follow-up then a more urgently worded follow-up could be sent.

More levels of subtotal in Trial Balance
A number of users have suggested that it would be great to have general subtotals (say "administration expenses") that tie the trial balance into the financial statements, but also the ability to group items at other levels within that - say all the depreciation codes into one totals. We're not sure the best way to do this but we will make sure this is part of our new version trial balance feature

Click and drag/move comments in workpapers
Hello When adding comments in a workpaper, it would be useful to be able to click and drag comments and/or attachments to change the order i.e. similar to being able to move minutes into the correct date order. Thanks

Edit workpapers on AA
This is now in testing - Please let us know if you wish to have early access When we attach excel workpapers on AA, and say during review want to update the workpaper, it would be good to have the ability to edit the excel/word/PDF document within AA and have it auto saved. This can save enormous amount of time rather then replacing the document.

Add the ability to sort tables by column (such as sorting minutes by date)
So the functionality to click on a column heading on a table and the system can automatically sort it. This can be used to sort things alphabetically, numerically or by date. Feedback for being able to sort the minutes page: "it will make reviews more efficient if the audit director could sequence them after the fact newest to oldest" "some clients are dreadful at supplying a complete set of minutes and there is usually a set that gets entered out of sequence"
