Elegant Menu Sidebar
Moves the active app's navigation out of the top-bar dropdowns and into a modern, always-visible left sidebar. Submenus open with a smooth accordion animation, the item you are on is highlighted, entries are indented by depth, and an instant filter box finds any menu as you type. It steps aside automatically on the home screen, on small screens, and in apps without submenus, and it works on both Odoo Community and Enterprise.
What This Module Does
Odoo hides an app's navigation inside top-bar dropdowns: you hover, a menu opens, you hunt through nested entries, and the moment you click it all disappears again. This module relocates the whole menu tree of the app you are in to a clean left panel that stays open, so navigation is always one glance and one click away. While the sidebar is active it becomes the single source of navigation and the duplicated top-bar sections are hidden.
How it works
Zero configuration: install it and every app with submenus gets the sidebar.
- Install the module and open any app, for example Sales or Inventory. Its full menu tree slides in as a left panel and the duplicated top-bar menu sections are hidden.
- Click a parent entry to expand its submenu with a fluid accordion motion; opening one section closes its siblings. Click any entry with an action to navigate, and it stays highlighted as the active item.
- In apps with many sections, type in the Filter menus box at the top of the panel: the tree narrows instantly and matching branches expand on their own.
- Use the home header at the top of the sidebar to jump back to the apps dashboard at any time.
