Alphabet Search Filter for Odoo 18
Instantly filter records A-Z across any model, in list and kanban views.
Introduction
Alphabet Search Filter adds a sleek A-Z navigation bar directly below the control panel in Odoo's list and kanban views. With a single click, users can narrow down records to those starting with a chosen letter - or select multiple letters at once for broader results. The filter is fully configurable: choose which models and fields it applies to, and toggle configurations on or off without any code changes.
Key Features
- Universal model support - configure the A-Z bar for any Odoo model (Customers, Products, Employees, etc.).
- Multi-model per configuration - a single configuration record can activate the filter on several models simultaneously.
- Multi-field filtering - map one or more fields (e.g. Name + Reference) per model; the filter returns records that start with the chosen letter in any of the configured fields.
- Multi-letter selection - click multiple letters to toggle them on/off; all selected letters are combined in a single OR-based domain query.
- Case-insensitive matching - uses
=ilikeinternally so "a" and "A" always return the same records. - List & Kanban view support - the bar is automatically shown only in supported view types and hidden everywhere else.
- Responsive design - horizontally scrollable with a fade effect on small screens; wraps into a full grid on medium/large screens.
- Session-level injection - configurations are embedded in the browser session on login; no extra RPC calls are made when navigating between views.
- Active / Inactive toggle - disable a configuration record to hide the filter without deleting it.
- Field validation - the system prevents selecting fields that do not belong to the chosen models, keeping configurations consistent.
- System-admin access only - the configuration menu is restricted to users in the Settings / Technical group.
- No extra dependencies - relies only on Odoo's
baseandwebmodules.
