In a busy production environment, manufacturing operators rely on quickly identifying work orders at a glance. However, when product names are long, including internal references or variant values, the current Shop Floor interface may truncate text, forcing users to guess or click for more information.

The Show Full Product Name on Shop Floor Tile enhancement ensures that long product names are automatically wrapped to a second line without manual interaction, providing greater clarity and reducing production errors.

Key Features & Benefits:

Automatically Displays Full Product Name

  1. Product names that are too long to fit on one line in the tile now wrap to a second line
  2. Avoids truncation that previously hid critical reference or variant details

Dynamic Text Wrapping Based on Length

  1. Short product names remain on one clean line
  2. Long names wrap only when they reach the edge of the tile

No Hover or Click Required

  1. Operators can now see the full name instantly without mouse interaction
  2. Enhances speed and accuracy on the shop floor

Designed for Manufacturing Teams

  1. Reduces the risk of selecting the wrong product or order
  2. Ideal for companies using descriptive product names, custom SKUs, or multi-variant configurations

Seamless Integration with Shop Floor App

  1. No disruption to the existing dashboard experience
  2. Maintains tile aesthetics while improving usability

Fully Compatible with Odoo v17 and v18

  1. Works across supported Odoo versions
  2. No additional configuration required

Example Use Case:

A production operator sees two work orders titled:

  1. “Chair – Blue – Wood – Adjustable Height”
  2. “Chair – Blue – Wood – Adjustable Height with Wheels – Internal Ref CH-BL-WD-AHW”

Previously, only the first portion of the longer name would show. Now, the tile automatically wraps to a second line, allowing the operator to see the full description before clicking — improving speed and reducing confusion.

Summary:

The Show Full Product Name on Shop Floor Tile feature enhances Odoo’s Shop Floor module by ensuring that long product names are fully visible without truncation. It introduces intelligent wrapping that improves operator clarity and reduces errors, especially in high-variant or SKU-heavy production environments.

Perfect for manufacturers that demand clarity and precision at a glance on the shop floor.
