See the full column header, every time
List View Full Header Name reveals complete column labels in every Odoo tree and list view, auto-fitting header width to the label and falling back to a fast hover tooltip so wide tables never turn into a guessing game.
The problem
Long column headers in Odoo's list views get clipped with an ellipsis, forcing accountants, warehouse clerks, and sales operations staff to hover and wait or manually widen columns one at a time, every session, in every dense view.
The solution
List View Full Header Name auto-fits each header to its label, capped at a configurable max width, and falls back to a fast hover tooltip when a name genuinely cannot fit — so headers stay readable without pushing the table into unwanted horizontal scroll.
Everything you need for readable list headers
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Auto-fit header width
Each column header grows only as much as its label needs, so long names become readable without artificially widening every column in the table.
Configurable max width
Set a maximum header width in General Settings so even the longest labels cannot push a wide table into unnecessary horizontal scroll.
Full expand mode
Switch to Always Show Full Header Name to force every header open, matching the classic behaviour some teams prefer.
Tooltip only mode
Keep native header truncation untouched and rely purely on a faster hover tooltip when you do not want columns resized at all.
Fast hover tooltip fallback
Configure the tooltip reveal delay so a still-clipped header shows its complete name the moment a user hovers, in any mode.
Works across every list view
Applies automatically to native and custom list views alike — Accounting journals, Inventory moves, Sales order lines, and Studio-built models — with no per-view setup.
Responsive on smaller screens
Header sizing adapts gracefully on narrower and laptop-sized screens, reasserting native truncation with the tooltip as a fallback so tables stay usable.
One scoped setting screen
A dedicated List View Headers block in General Settings lets an administrator choose the header behaviour and thresholds in one place, install-and-forget.
