Review Every Record Without Losing Your List
Open Formview Next To Listview keeps the list on screen and loads the selected record into an editable form pane right beside it — so accountants, buyers, and sales reps can review dozens of records without a single list-to-form-to-list round trip.
The problem
Reviewing records one by one means opening a full-page form, reading or editing a few fields, then clicking back to the list to do it again — over and over, for every invoice, quotation, or task in the queue. Each click loses your scroll position and breaks your concentration, and long records force you to scroll past status, contact, and chatter just to find what you need.
The solution
Open Formview Next To Listview adds a form pane right next to the list. Click a row — or step through with the arrow keys — and the record loads for editing beside the list that never disappears. Drag the divider to resize the panes, pin a record open while you browse, and save changes without ever opening a separate page.
Everything you need to review records faster
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Split List And Form
The list and the selected record's form appear side by side on one screen, so switching records never means switching pages.
One-Click Record Preview
Selecting a row loads that record straight into the form pane while the list stays exactly where it was — no page reload, no lost scroll position.
Inline Editing In The Pane
Edit and save fields directly in the form pane, the same as a full-page form, without ever leaving the split view.
Keyboard Record Stepping
Use the up and down arrow keys to move through the list and the form pane updates instantly, turning record-by-record review into one continuous flow.
Drag-To-Resize Panes
Drag the divider between the list and the form to rebalance the two panes for the record type and screen you are working on; your preferred width is remembered.
Pin The Form Open
Lock the form pane on the current record with one click so you can scroll and compare other rows in the list without losing your place.
Works On Any List-Backed Model
The split view is a reusable list view class, not a feature bolted onto one app, so it can be wired onto any standard Odoo list and form.
Chatter And Activities Beside The List
The form pane includes the full chatter — messages, logged notes, and activities — positioned vertically next to the list instead of buried at the bottom of a long page.
Responsive And Onboarded
Clickable rows are visually distinct with clear loading feedback, panes stack automatically on narrower screens, and a first-run banner explains the split view the first time you open it.
How it works
Open the list
Open any view using the split list, and the first record loads automatically into the form pane beside it.
Pick a record
Click a row or use the arrow keys to step through the list; the form pane updates with the selected record.
Read, edit, or pin
Review fields, edit and save inline, check the chatter, or pin the form open while you keep scrolling the list.
Resize as needed
Drag the divider to rebalance the list and form widths, or let the layout stack automatically on smaller screens.
Frequently asked
No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.
The split view is built as a reusable list view class (js_class="side_form_list"). The module ships one fully wired example model with demo data so you can see it working immediately; wiring it onto your own list views means assigning the same js_class.
