Main Menu — Centralized Odoo navigation dashboard with module tiles and bookmarks

What is Main Menu?

Main Menu is a free Odoo module that replaces scattered navigation with a centralized dashboard. It presents visual tiles for your most-used Odoo applications — Sales, CRM, Inventory, Invoicing — alongside a personal bookmark system where users save links to internal menus and external URLs for instant access. The dashboard also displays live date/time information and admin-published announcements, turning your Odoo homepage into a functional command center rather than a generic menu list.

How Main Menu Solves Odoo Navigation Complexity

Problem
Zehntech Main Menu Solution
Reaching frequently used modules requires navigating through multiple menu levels
Visual tiles on a centralized dashboard provide one-click access to core applications
No built-in way to save shortcuts to internal pages or external tools
Personal bookmark system stores links to any internal Odoo menu or external URL
Bookmarks become disorganized and difficult to find as the list grows
Built-in search and sorting functionality keeps bookmarks organized and instantly accessible
Company-wide announcements require external tools or email chains
Admin announcement widget displays notices directly on the dashboard every user sees
Users have no visible context for current date and time within Odoo
Dashboard entry displays live date and time information as a persistent widget
Navigating to a bookmarked page disrupts the current workflow
Users control whether bookmarks open in the current tab or a new browser tab
Each user has different frequently-accessed areas but shares the same default homepage
Per-user bookmark lists allow every team member to personalize their navigation shortcuts
Setting up custom navigation hubs typically requires developer involvement
Main Menu installs from the Odoo App Store with zero custom development required

A Complete Navigation Hub for Your Odoo Environment

1

Centralized Module Dashboard

Access your most-used Odoo applications — Sales, CRM, Inventory, Invoicing, and more — from visually organized tiles on a single dashboard screen. No nested menus, no memorized paths.

Why it matters: reduces the daily click-count for reaching core tools across your organization, particularly for users who work across multiple modules throughout the day.

2

Personal Bookmark System

Save links to any frequently accessed internal Odoo menu or external URL. Each bookmark stores a custom name and destination, creating a personalized quick-access panel unique to each user.

Why it matters: transforms repetitive multi-click navigation into a single-click action, compounding time savings across every session for every team member.

3

Bookmark Search and Sorting

Find any saved bookmark instantly using built-in search functionality. Sort bookmarks to organize them in the order that matches your workflow.

Why it matters: as bookmark collections grow, search and sort prevent them from becoming as cluttered as the navigation problem they were created to solve.

4

Tab Control — Current or New Window

Choose whether each bookmark opens in the current browser tab or launches in a new tab. This setting is available per bookmark, giving users precise control over their browsing behavior.

Why it matters: users working across multiple Odoo views simultaneously can open references in new tabs without losing their current context.

5

Admin Announcement Widget

Administrators create and publish announcements that appear on the Main Menu dashboard for all users. Announcements are managed through Settings and display prominently when any user opens the dashboard.

Why it matters: provides a built-in company-wide communication channel directly within Odoo — ideal for system maintenance notices, policy updates, or operational reminders.

6

Date and Time Widget

The dashboard displays the current date and time prominently upon entry, providing immediate context without requiring users to check external sources.

Why it matters: teams coordinating across time zones or tracking deadline-sensitive operations benefit from persistent time visibility integrated directly into their primary navigation screen.

7

Widget Visibility Configuration

Administrators control which dashboard widgets are visible through Settings > General Settings. Enable or disable the date/time display and announcement panel based on organizational needs.

Why it matters: keeps the dashboard relevant and uncluttered by allowing admins to show only the widgets that serve their team's actual workflow requirements.
