All In One Hierarchy View: Account Parent & All Models
Managing hierarchical data in Odoo—like product categories, departments, or nested records—can quickly become confusing when using standard list views.
If you've ever struggled to understand parent-child relationships at a glance, you're not alone.
That’s exactly where the Hierarchical View module comes in.

🤔 The Problem with Default Odoo Views
Odoo’s default tree (list) view is great for flat data—but when it comes to hierarchical structures, it falls short:
Difficult to visualize parent-child relationships No intuitive expand/collapse structure Hard to navigate deeply nested data Poor readability for complex hierarchies
For example, managing product categories or organizational structures becomes inefficient without a proper hierarchy view.
💡 What is the Hierarchical View Module?
The Hierarchical View module enhances Odoo by introducing a structured tree view that clearly represents parent-child relationships. It allows you to display records in a collapsible hierarchy—making navigation and understanding data much easier. Hierarchical views are commonly used to represent structures like categories, where each item can have parent and child elements
