Web Utils

Name: Web Utils
Brand: ECOSIRE
SKU: web-utils

Key Features

Sticky list-view and form-view headers that keep column labels and action buttons visible while scrolling long records

Keyboard-shortcut navigation between records (next/previous, back to list) implemented via the web client's hotkey service registry

One-click 'Copy record ID' and 'Copy shareable URL' actions injected into the form cog/action menu

Per-user list-view density toggle (comfortable/compact) persisted server-side on res.users settings so it follows the user across devices

OWL component patches applied through Odoo's registry and component-inheritance extension points — no core file forks, upgrade-safe

Assets declared cleanly in __manifest__.py under web.assets_backend so nothing loads on the public website or portal

Chatter and side-panel collapse state remembered per user via ir.config_parameter or a lightweight res.users extension

Quick-focus keyboard shortcuts for the search box and breadcrumb navigation to cut mouse round-trips

Optional debug/technical helper toggles (show technical field names, model, external ID) gated behind an ir.model.access-controlled security group

Group-based visibility: every helper can be shown, hidden, or read-only by user group using record rules and access CSV — no hardcoded user checks

Server-side preference models built with proper fields and @api.depends compute methods where derived values are needed, with matching ir.model.access.csv rows

Targeted at one primary series (17.0, 18.0, or 19.0) and validated on Community and Enterprise, with Enterprise-specific web-asset differences documented

No monkey-patching of unstable internals — only documented services, registries, and OWL hooks, so the module survives minor point releases

Automated-action or server-action hooks available where a helper needs to react to record events, kept optional and clearly separated from the pure-UI layer

About this Product

Teams that live in Odoo all day hit the same small frictions dozens of times per hour: scrolling a 200-row list loses the column headers, there is no fast way to copy a record's technical ID or shareable URL, switching between the form and its list means a full reload, and dense screens waste vertical space on padding your power users don't need. Odoo core is deliberately conservative about the web client — the backend OWL interface ships one opinionated layout, and none of these quality-of-life behaviors exist out of the box. The cost is invisible but real: seconds lost per action, multiplied across every user, every day.

Web Utils is a build-to-order OWL/JavaScript layer that ECOSIRE assembles for your exact needs. We patch the web client through Odoo's supported client-side extension points — registry-based service and component patches, OWL component inheritance, and asset bundles declared in __manifest__.py under web.assets_backend — rather than forking core files, so upgrades stay clean. Typical helpers we implement include sticky list/form headers, keyboard-shortcut navigation between records, a "copy record ID / copy shareable URL" action wired into the cog menu, list-view density toggles persisted per-user via res.users settings or ir.config_parameter, chatter/panel collapse-state memory, quick-search focus shortcuts, and optional debug/technical helpers gated behind group membership. Every widget respects existing access rules — we never bypass ir.model.access.csv or record rules, and user-scoped preferences are stored on server-side models so they survive across devices and sessions.

Because the web client is shared infrastructure, we treat compatibility as a first-class deliverable. The module is authored against a specific target series (17.0, 18.0, or 19.0) and validated on both Community and Enterprise where the requested helpers apply — a handful of behaviors differ because Enterprise ships its own web assets, and we call those out during scoping. Where a helper needs server data (persisted preferences, group-based visibility), we add small, well-tested models.Model extensions with proper fields and, where computed values are involved, @api.depends-decorated methods, plus the matching security rows so the feature is safe in a multi-user database.

Delivery is build-to-order: it starts with a short scoping call to agree the exact helper set and target Odoo version, after which we send a fixed-price quote and a written scope. We then build on a branch, hand you a staging build for UAT, and deploy to production with a rollback plan and a post-go-live support window. Typical delivery is 2-4 weeks from confirmed scope. Pricing starts from $249 (indicative, single-company base scope); the number of distinct helpers, cross-version support (17/18/19 together), Enterprise-specific web overrides, and any persisted-preference data models increase the quoted scope.

Who this is for

Operations lead drowning in scroll and clicks

Runs a team that processes hundreds of records a day in Odoo and wants the small daily frictions — lost headers, no quick copy, slow record switching — removed so throughput goes up without retraining.

In-house Odoo administrator

Maintains the database and wants power-user helpers delivered as a clean, upgrade-safe module with proper security groups and documentation, not a pile of unmanaged customizations that break on the next migration.

Consultant or reseller standardizing client fit-out

Rolls out Odoo to multiple clients and needs a consistent, well-documented web-client utility layer they can request per version, with a git handover and known Community/Enterprise behavior.

Power users and back-office staff

Spend their whole shift in the Odoo backend and benefit directly from sticky headers, keyboard navigation, density controls, and copy actions that shave seconds off every repeated task.

How Web Utils Compares

Criterion	ECOSIRE	Custom Build	Competitor
Delivery model	Built to your scope, installed and supported by us	You hire and manage developers to build it	Generic download, take it as-is
Web-client helpers included	Exactly the helpers you request, no bloat	Whatever you spec and can afford to build	Fixed bundle, some helpers you won't use
Upgrade safety (17/18/19)	Registry/OWL extension points, upgrade-tested	Depends entirely on your team's discipline	Varies; may lag new Odoo releases
Security and access control	Respects ir.model.access + record rules, group-gated	Must be designed and reviewed by you	Generic defaults, may not fit your roles
Community vs Enterprise fit	Validated on your edition, differences documented	You test both editions yourself	Often one edition assumed
Persisted user preferences	Server-side models, follow user across devices	Build the storage layer yourself	Often browser-only or none
Source and handover	Full source + git repo with history and tag	You own it but carry all the build cost	Source access varies by vendor terms
Total cost of ownership	Fixed quote, from $249 indicative, support window included	Higher and open-ended dev + maintenance	Low sticker price, fit and support you manage

Frequently Asked Questions about Web Utils

Is this an app I can download and install right now?

No. Web Utils is build-to-order. ECOSIRE scopes the exact helper set with you, then builds, installs, and supports it for your database. There is no instant download — you receive a module authored and validated for your specific Odoo version.

How long does delivery take?

Typical delivery is 2-4 weeks from confirmed scope. Timing depends on how many distinct helpers you want, whether you need multiple Odoo versions supported at once, and any persisted-preference data models. We commit to a date in writing once scope is agreed.

How does pricing and scoping work?

Pricing starts from $249 as an indicative single-company base scope. We hold a short scoping call, confirm the helper set and target version, then send a fixed-price quote and written scope before any build begins. The from-price is a starting point, not a firm final figure.

What happens to my customizations when Odoo is upgraded, and do I get support?

The module is built against Odoo's supported client-side extension points (registries, OWL inheritance, asset bundles) rather than forking core, so it upgrades cleanly. Every engagement includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and questions; ongoing support or version migrations can be quoted separately.

Which Odoo versions and editions do you support?

We support Odoo 17.0, 18.0, and 19.0, on both Community and Enterprise. Because Enterprise ships its own web assets, a few helpers behave differently there — we identify and document any such differences during scoping and validate on your target edition.

Will the helpers respect our access rights and user roles?

Yes. Every helper honors existing ir.model.access.csv permissions and record rules, and any technical or debug helpers are gated behind a dedicated security group. Per-user preferences are stored on server-side models, so nothing bypasses your security model.

Do you hand over the source code?

Yes. You receive the full installable module source and a git repository with complete commit history and a tagged release for your version, so you or another team can maintain it later.
