Hello there, MikeT23,

 

Are you referring to the keyboard shortcuts when creating an estimate? If so, just press Ctrl+Alt+E to open a new entry.

 

You can access the quick reference guide within QuickBooks Online. Simply hold Control + Option (Alt) + ? (for Mac). Then, you'll see your company ID and list of keyboard shortcuts.

 

The + New icon will also help you create any transaction you want.

 

There's more available features you can see in this article: Keyboard shortcuts for QuickBooks Online article for more details. 

 

Let me know if you're referring to something else. I'm always right here to help.

Hi there, @Johan van Zyl.

 

To clarify, are you referring to the transaction icons in the Dashboard menu? If so, the option to customize the page to add extra icons is unavailable. 

 

Meanwhile, you may want to utilize some keyboard shortcuts to speed up your navigation in QBO. For guidance, please see this article: Keyboard shortcuts for QuickBooks Online.

 

Also, in case you want to have a QBO shortcut icon on your desktop screen, see this link for the detailed steps: Create a desktop shortcut for QuickBooks Online.
