Portal Column Toggle
Let portal users show only the columns they actually need.
📋 Overview
Portal Tables Show Everything, Always
My Orders, My Invoices, My Quotations: every portal list shows a fixed set of columns, and your customer cannot do a thing about the ones they do not care about. On a phone that means a cramped, unreadable table. This app puts a small gear above every portal list so each visitor picks the columns they want, and the portal remembers their choice the next time they log in.

Open a Portal List
Log in to the portal and open My Orders, My Invoices or any other document list under My Account. The gear appears at the top-right of the table on its own.
Click the Gear
The gear opens a tick-list of every column in that table, with Reset to default waiting at the bottom.
Pick Your Columns
Untick what you do not need. The table updates immediately, the badge counts what is hidden, and the choice is remembered for next time.

❔ FAQ
Does a customer's column choice follow them to another device or browser?
No. The choice lives in that browser's local storage, so it is per browser and per device. Logging in from a phone or a different browser starts from the default columns again, and clearing site data resets it. This is deliberate: nothing about the visitor is written to your database.
Does it work on portal pages added by other apps?
Yes. The script does not target specific models; it picks up any table with a header row and at least two columns on a /my/… page. Helpdesk tickets, subscriptions, repairs or a custom portal list all get the gear with no extra configuration, and grouped lists such as Tasks grouped by project are handled too.
Does hiding a column change the PDF, the download, or what the customer can access?
No. Hiding is display-only on the HTML table. Printed reports, downloaded documents and record access rules are untouched. This app grants and removes nothing in terms of permissions.
What happens when the module is uninstalled?
The assets stop loading and the portal returns to its standard tables immediately. No database records are created by this app, so there is nothing to clean up. The leftover keys in a visitor's browser are inert and are dropped when they clear site data.
🎧 About Us
Zenovaraa builds Odoo apps and implements Odoo for companies that want the system to fit the way they already work, rather than the other way round. We spend our days inside real Odoo databases, which is where apps like this one come from: a small friction someone hit on a Tuesday, fixed properly and packaged so nobody else has to hit it.
Every app we publish is written against a clean install of the Odoo version it targets, kept free of unnecessary dependencies, and documented so your team can read the code before trusting it. If you find a bug, tell us and we will fix it.
