Web - Merge Notebook Tabs

Beta License: AGPL-3 OCA/web Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runboat

This module extend the Odoo Community Edition web module to improve display of Form views that contains notebooks.

Odoo is very modular, that is great, but for some Forms, Odoo designs the view with a lot of tabs in a notebook, one per functional topic.

If many modules are installed, it generates a lot of tabs. Consequently:

  • it force users to click a lot of time in all the tabs, to configure all the data.
  • it is not possible for a user to see quickly, if an item is correctly configured.

It is specially problematic for product or partner form views.

This module allows to ‘merge’ many tabs into a single tab, to avoid such UX troubles.

Demo exemple with the form view of the product.template model:
