This module prefers kanban sub-form views when using a tablet, or any other device with a touch screen, no matter its size.

For example, these screenshots showcase a sale order in a tablet:

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

On touch-screen devices, this module makes embedded lists of related records (like order lines) open in a card-style kanban view instead of a table, making them easier to tap and edit.

This module changes how Odoo behaves on tablets and other touch-screen devices. Normally, when a form shows a list of related records (for example, the lines of a sale order), Odoo displays them as a table. On a touch screen, tables are hard to use because the rows and buttons are small.

With this module installed, whenever such a list is loaded and the device has a touch screen, Odoo automatically switches to the kanban (card) view if that view is available. This makes each record appear as a card that is easier to tap and edit with a finger.

The change only applies when: - the device is detected as having a touch screen, - the screen is not already considered small (small screens are handled by Odoo itself), - the kanban view is available as an option for that list, - and the current view is not already kanban.

No new menus, models, or database fields are added. The module only adjusts the display behaviour of existing form fields across the Odoo backend, so users do not need to configure anything. It is a user-experience improvement for touch devices.
