Browser tabs, finally done right in Odoo

Open every action, list, and record as its own tab, reuse them intelligently, and never rebuild lost context again — built for the sales, accounting, inventory, and admin teams who juggle dozens of screens a day.

The problem

Every new record or list you open in Odoo replaces the one you were just looking at, forcing back-office teams to navigate away, lose their place, and click back through breadcrumbs to rebuild context — dozens of times a day. Native browser tabs are not a fix: each one loads a full, separate Odoo session, multiplying memory use and login overhead without keeping the specific list or filter you came from.

The solution

Multi Tabs adds a browser-style tab bar to the Odoo backend itself. Every action, list, or record you open becomes its own tab with smart reuse, so reopening a record focuses its existing tab instead of piling up duplicates. Tabs persist across refresh, restart, and re-login, and an unexpected crash offers to restore your previous workspace — so context is never lost.

Capabilities

Everything a tab bar should do

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Record-Level Tabs

Every action, list, or record becomes its own tab, so multiple records stay open and in context at once — not just menus.

02

Smart Tab Reuse

Reopening an already-open record focuses the existing tab instead of creating a duplicate, so the bar never fills up with clutter.

03

Session Persistence

Open tabs are saved on your user account and survive a page refresh, browser restart, or re-login.

04

Crash Recovery

After an unexpected browser close, your previous set of tabs is offered back for one-click restoration.

05

Overflow Handling

Scroll controls and an overflow dropdown keep every tab reachable, however many you have open.

06

Drag-and-Drop Reordering

Drag tabs into the order that fits your workflow, and switch between them instantly with no page reload.

07

Per-Tab Controls

Close a single tab with its (x), or right-click for Close Others, so a cluttered bar is always one click from clean.

08

Keyboard & Click Shortcuts

Ctrl+Click opens a link in a background tab, Shift+Click opens it in a new tab, and Alt+Arrows switch between tabs — just like a real browser.

09

Per-User Enablement

Each user can switch the tab bar on or off for themselves, while admins set the default and a maximum tab count.

Workflow

How it works

1

Open a tab

Navigate to any menu, list, or record and it becomes a tab in the bar automatically, with no setup.

2

Work across records

Switch instantly between open tabs; reopening an already-open record focuses its tab instead of duplicating it.

3

Arrange and clean up

Drag tabs into the order you want, close one with its (x), or close all others from the right-click menu.

4

Pick up where you left off

Refresh, restart, or come back after a crash — your tabs are saved per user account and offered back for restoration.

No. It adds a tab bar inside a single Odoo browser tab so switching between records and views never leaves the app or opens a new, separate Odoo session.
