GroupBy Expand/Collapse — One-click group navigation in Odoo list views

What is GroupBy Expand/Collapse?

GroupBy Expand/Collapse is an Odoo productivity module that adds one-click expand and collapse controls to grouped list views. Instead of manually opening each group header individually — a tedious process when working with dozens of categories — this module lets you expand one, many, or all groups instantly, and collapse them all back with a single action. It works universally across every list view in Odoo where GroupBy filtering is applied, from Sales Orders and Invoices to CRM records and Contacts.

Problem

Zehntech GroupBy Solution

Opening each group requires individual clicks on every group header

Expand all groups simultaneously with one click

Reviewing data across multiple groups means constant repetitive clicking

Open multiple groups at once to see all underlying records

Collapsing groups back requires closing each one individually

Collapse every open group in a single action

Working with large datasets grouped by category is slow

Bulk expand/collapse regardless of dataset size

No native way to toggle all groups open or closed in standard Odoo

Adds the missing controls directly into list view interface

Teams waste cumulative hours per week clicking through grouped views

One-click group management recovers that time

Expand Single Group

Open any individual data group in your list view with a single click to reveal the records underneath.

Why it matters: When you only need to inspect one specific category, you can open it instantly without disturbing other groups — keeping your view focused and organized.

Expand Multiple Groups Simultaneously

Open multiple groups at the same time rather than clicking each group header individually.

Why it matters: When analyzing data across several categories — such as comparing sales by region or invoices by status — expanding multiple groups eliminates repetitive clicking.

Collapse All Open Groups at Once

Close every expanded group in your list view with a single action, returning to a clean summary view instantly.

Why it matters: After reviewing detailed records across multiple groups, collapsing everything at once lets you reset your view without clicking through each group individually.
