Move your chatter anywhere it belongs

Bottom, side, or responsive — remembered per user and per form type, resizable, collapsible, and standardized team-wide by your admin.

The problem

Odoo pins the chatter to one fixed spot, forcing constant scrolling on dense forms like sales orders, project tasks, and CRM opportunities. Every free positioning app resets on reload — no per-user memory, no admin default, and no way to standardize a layout across a team.

The solution

Flexible Chatter Pro lets each user pick bottom, side, or responsive placement from one topbar control, previews the result before it is applied, then remembers the choice per user and per form type — while admins set system-wide and per-form defaults so every new user starts with a layout that already works.

Capabilities

Everything competitors split across three price tiers

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Bottom, Side, or Responsive

Switch the chatter's position instantly from the form header — no page reload, no lost place in the record.

02

Preview Before You Commit

See a live thumbnail of Bottom, Side, and Responsive layouts in the position menu before you apply the change, so the first choice is the right one.

03

Remembers Every Choice

Your position, width, and collapsed state persist globally and per form type, so contacts can sit side-docked while sales orders stay at the bottom — automatically, every session.

04

Admin-Set Team Defaults

Administrators configure a system-wide default and a distinct default per form type, so every new user starts with a sensible layout with zero setup.

05

Resize, Collapse, Fullscreen

Drag the side chatter to the width you want, collapse it to a thin bar to reclaim space, or expand it fullscreen to focus on a busy conversation.

06

Keyboard Shortcuts

Alt+Shift+B/S/R jump between bottom, side, and responsive; Alt+Shift+C and Alt+Shift+F toggle collapse and fullscreen — all without touching the mouse.

07

Pin Important Messages

Pin any message to the top of the conversation so critical context never gets buried under a long history — visible to every follower on the record.

08

True Mobile Responsiveness

Side layouts gracefully fall back to bottom placement on tablets and phones, so the chosen layout stays usable on any screen.

09

Community and Enterprise Ready

Built on core mail and web APIs only, so it installs cleanly on both Odoo Community and Enterprise without extra dependencies.

Workflow

How it works

1

Open the position menu

Click the layout icon in any chatter topbar to open the position control.

2

Pick a layout

Preview bottom, side, or responsive, then choose the one that fits the form.

3

Fine-tune it

Resize the side panel, collapse it, or go fullscreen — your choice is remembered per form type.

4

Standardize for the team

Admins set system-wide and per-form defaults from Settings so every user starts right.
