QuickBooks logoIntuit has scaled-back the in-product marketing communications features in QuickBooks 2010 after it heard from users that there were simply too many messages hitting them while using the popular low-cost accounting software package. Intuit said it had made a series of changes in response to the complaints in a patch for 2010 issued this week.

 

Changes were listed on Intuit's Small Business United Blog by Laura Messerschmitt, a member of the QuickBooks product team. Messerschmitt wrote in yesterday's post that  "You’ve told us loud and clear that our marketing communications in QuickBooks 2010 have become a distraction to getting your work done, so we’ve made some changes."

As a result, users can now turn off the "Recommended for You” widget in the Snapshot via one click. The same is true with the “Accept Payments” sidebar on the Receive Payments and Sales Receipts screen.  The “turn-off pop-ups” preference can be used to turn off newly added pop-ups in QuickBooks and the Payment Interview can be shut down permanently.
