Odoo Tree Columns Resize

Drag and Resize List View Columns to Any Width in Odoo

Odoo's default list view locks every column to a fixed width — useful for simple records, but frustrating when long reference numbers get cut off, product names truncate mid-word, or a narrow column forces users to open a record just to read the full content. Odoo Tree Columns Resize gives users direct control over column widths by letting them drag any column boundary to the size they need, right in the list view.

Why Does Your Team Need Resizable Columns in the Odoo List View?

Every team uses Odoo differently, and the data that matters most varies by role. A sales team scanning long product descriptions needs wider name columns; an accounting team reviewing reference codes needs more space for numbers. Without the ability to resize columns in the Odoo list view, everyone works with whatever width Odoo decided was right — which is often not what's useful. The Odoo Tree Columns Resize module gives each user the flexibility to adjust column widths to match their actual workflow without any development work.

Key Features of Odoo Tree Columns Resize

Drag-to-Resize Column Width

Users can drag any column boundary in the Odoo list view to make it wider or narrower — the same familiar resize behaviour found in spreadsheets and modern data tables.

Works Across All List Views

The Odoo tree view column resize feature is not limited to specific modules — it applies across any list view in the Odoo backend, from sales orders to inventory to HR records.

No Configuration Required

The resizable list view Odoo feature is available immediately after installation — no settings to toggle, no modules to configure per view.

Improves Data Readability

Wider columns for longer fields and narrower columns for short data reduce truncation and make list views easier to scan and work with.

Compatible With Standard Odoo Views

The Odoo column width customization works within the standard Odoo list view framework without breaking filters, grouping, or other standard list features.

Benefits of Odoo Tree Columns Resize

Fewer Clicks to Read Full Data

When column widths match the data they contain, users stop opening individual records just to read a truncated field — saving clicks and time across every list view they use.

Personalised List View Layouts

The Odoo flexible column width feature lets each user adjust their view to match what they need to see most, rather than working around a one-size-fits-all layout.

Works Instantly After Installation

No setup, no per-view configuration, no developer involvement — the Odoo list column resize feature just works, across every list view, from the moment it's installed.

Reduces Workflow Friction

Small interface frustrations compound quickly. Adjustable Odoo list view column width removes a daily irritant that slows users down without them always realising it.

Suitable for Any Team or Module

Because the Odoo tree view resizing module works across all list views, every team — sales, purchasing, HR, accounting, inventory — benefits from the same improvement.

Step 4: Drag to Adjust the Width
