QuickBooks (Mac) Chart of Accounts has an empty column with a blue ball heading

Question

QuickBooks 2014 (Mac)

I'm simply looking for an explanation of an empty column in my Chart of Accounts. Its header is nothing but a blue ball. Hovering and clicking this column heading reveals nothing. Googling leads nowhere except extreme frustration.

Please explain what this empty column is supposed to represent. Thank-you.

Answer 1

According to the Intuit user forum, this column would indicate which account(s) are setup for online banking.

IMO, a good GUI would automatically hide this column when no accounts are setup with online banking, or at the very least, show a tooltip when hovering over the heading.

EDIT: After activating the "guide me" function, and waiting a bit of time, a tooltip eventually shows up and explains this column. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to remove the empty column.
