How To: Choose Whether the Edit Panel Opens Automatically

Choose whether the edit screen opens straight away when you open a Receipt Capture work item.

Written by Sunniva Andersen

Why change this setting?

When you open a Receipt Capture work item, XBert opens the edit screen for you straight away, so you can check and correct the receipt without an extra click. This is on by default.

Turn it off if you'd rather look at the work item first, for example to read comments before you start editing.

💡 This only changes things for you

Your choice is saved to your own login, so it doesn't affect anyone else in your firm.


Before you start

  • You need admin access to change this setting.

    • Team members without admin access can't open this page, so the edit screen always opens automatically for them.

  • Receipt Capture must be switched on for your firm. The Receipt Capture section only appears once it is.


Turn it on or off

  1. In the left-hand menu, click Settings.

  2. Under Integrations & Features, click Features.

  3. Find the Receipt Capture section.

    1. It has a Beta tag.

  4. Next to Open the document edit panel automatically when I select a receipt, click OFF or ON.

    1. Underneath, you'll see Saves a click on every receipt - best for high-volume sessions.


When the edit screen won't open by itself

Even with the setting on, the edit screen won't open automatically when:

  • the receipt has already been published, or is being published

  • you opened the work item straight to another tab, for example from a Client Chat message or a comment you were mentioned in

  • you've already closed it for that work item. It opens once each time you open the work item, so it won't keep popping back up.
