Working with large amounts of records in Odoo often involves repetitive navigation between list views and form views. Users frequently open a record, make changes, return to the list, and repeat the same process again and again. This constant back-and-forth navigation slows down productivity, especially for teams managing high-volume operations in CRM, Sales, Inventory, Accounting, or HR.
The Split View in Odoo module enhances the Odoo user experience by introducing a modern dual-panel interface where list and form views can be accessed simultaneously. Instead of switching screens repeatedly, users can review records from one side while editing details on the other, creating a much faster and more efficient workflow.
Designed to feel native inside Odoo, this UI enhancement improves navigation, multitasking, and real-time record management without disrupting existing workflows. Whether your team handles sales orders, leads, stock movements, invoices, or employee records, the module helps reduce clicks, improve visibility, and speed up daily operations.
Why Businesses Need Split View in Odoo
Modern business teams work with hundreds of records daily, and traditional navigation methods can create unnecessary delays. Opening each record individually not only consumes time but also breaks workflow continuity, making it harder for users to stay focused on tasks.
The Split View module solves this usability challenge by keeping both the record list and detailed form accessible at the same time. Users can instantly switch between records, review information faster, and make updates without losing their place in the workflow.
This improvement becomes especially valuable for:
- CRM teams managing leads and opportunities
- Inventory managers validating stock operations
- Accountants reviewing financial records
- HR teams updating employee data
- Administrative teams handling bulk record operations
Key Advantages of the Split View Interface
Side-by-Side Record Management
View list and form records together in a single screen layout for faster navigation and editing.
Faster Workflow Execution
Reduce repetitive clicks and unnecessary page reloads while managing records.
Real-Time Data Updates
Changes made in the form panel instantly reflect in the list view.
Flexible Layout Options

How the Split View Improves Odoo Productivity
Traditional Odoo navigation requires users to repeatedly move between pages to review or edit records. In high-volume environments, this repetitive workflow can significantly impact productivity and increase user fatigue.
The Split View module creates a more efficient multitasking environment by enabling users to interact with records dynamically. Teams can browse through multiple entries quickly while keeping detailed information visible at all times. This leads to:
- Faster record validation
- Improved data entry speed
- Better focus during repetitive tasks
- Reduced navigation time
- Improved operational efficiency
Because the module works directly within Odoo’s interface, users can adopt it quickly without additional training or complex configuration.
