See the list. Edit the record — never lose your place.

A resizable master-detail split turns any Odoo list into a click-through queue: open a row's form right beside the list, edit in place, and jump to the next record with a keystroke — no page switch, no lost scroll position.

The problem

Odoo's default list-to-form navigation replaces the whole screen every time you open a record. Sales reps qualifying leads, accountants reconciling entries, and support agents triaging tickets lose their scroll position, their filters, and their mental place in the queue on every single click — a small tax that adds up fast across dozens of records a day.

The solution

Split View adds a resizable master-detail pane directly to the list: click a row and its form opens beside the list, not over it. Keyboard shortcuts move you through the queue, the active row stays highlighted, and every user's preferred layout is remembered per model — so the queue moves as fast as you can work it.

Capabilities

Everything a queue-driven team needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Side-by-side master-detail

Click any row and its form opens in an adjacent pane, in place, with in-context inline editing — the list never leaves the screen.

02

Active-row highlighting

The currently-open record's row stays visibly highlighted in the list, so you always know exactly where you are in the queue.

03

Keyboard-first navigation

Move through the loaded queue with Alt+N / Alt+P, or use the matching on-screen previous/next buttons in the form pane.

04

Resizable, visible divider

A draggable divider with a clear grip handle plus one-click 50/60/70 ratio presets — resizing is easy to find and easy to use.

05

Horizontal or vertical layout

Toggle between a horizontal split and a stacked vertical split so the layout fits your screen and your data.

06

Transparent, resettable persistence

Every user's layout is saved per model and listed in "My Layouts" — open, review, and reset any saved preference with one click.

07

Stale-state warning

If an admin bumps the layout defaults, saved preferences are flagged stale with a clear banner and a one-click reset — nothing goes silently out of date.

08

Per-model admin allowlist

Administrators choose exactly which models offer split view from an "Enabled Models" screen, so it appears only where it adds value.

09

Zero-config defaults

Works out of the box with sensible global defaults set in General Settings, plus mark-outdated and reset-all maintenance actions for admins.

Workflow

How it works

1

Open an enabled list

A Split toggle appears automatically on any list an admin has enabled — no setup required.

2

Click a row

The record opens instantly in the adjacent form pane, right beside the list.

3

Work the queue

Edit in place, jump records with Alt+N / Alt+P or the on-screen buttons, resize or reorient as needed.

4

Layout remembered

Your ratio, direction, and enabled state save per user, per model, ready the next time you open the list.
