How does it work? 

Odoo 19 introduces major improvements that drive its impressive speed: browser caching, and more optimized database queries using the new Domain object

Using browser Cache:

• With Odoo 19, data is now cached as you browse. This means that when you revisit a page, it loads instantly from the cache instead of reloading everything from the server — giving a noticeable boost in navigation speed 
• Another benefit of this caching system is that it lets you continue browsing with the data from your last session, even if your internet connection drops.

Enhancing database queries (with a new Domain object):

Improving database Indexes

Improving how SQL is generated:

Adding more optimizations in the backend:

In short, Odoo 19 redefines what users can expect from a business management system — faster page loads, instant searches, and seamless navigation across all modules.

2.  Smarter Workflows: Activity Management

Activities in Odoo 19 have received some of the most practical updates.

Personal Activities

• Simply click the clock icon in the top bar (next to the notification and chat icons), then scroll down to “View all Activities”.

• Users can now create activities for themselves without binding them to any object.

Better planning management for your Activities

Filters and Re​schedule: 

Users can:

• [1] use the period filters such as “Tomorrow” and “This week”. 
• [2] use the quick action to Reschedule to "​Today", "Tomorrow", or "Next Week", giving users more control and making managing activities much easier.

Activities remain visible even after being marked as done:

Activity titles on Kanban cards:

With these enhancements, Activity Management in Odoo 19 becomes a powerful productivity hub — keeping teams aligned, reducing missed deadlines, and simplifying day-to-day planning..

3. UX Upgrades: Faster, Smoother, More Intuitive

Odoo 19 UX improvements help users complete tasks faster with fewer clicks.

Favorite Filters Sharing: 

Favorite filters can now be shared with specific teammates, making collaboration simpler.

Multi-select in Kanban: 

Users can select multiple Kanban cards at once by holding the "Alt" key, streamlining batch operations.

Task List Enhancement: 

Within the To Do app, in "My Tasks", users can now add new tasks, create new stages, or edit stages directly in the list view. These improvements are new framework capabilities that can now be applied to other list views with minimal customization.

Smarter mass editing:

Numeric fields support quick operators like +=, -=, *=, or /= when editing multiple records. 

For example, typing *=1.1 on the sales price will instantly raise the price of all selected products by 10%.

With these UI and UX refinements, Odoo 19 makes daily operations smoother and more intuitive — proving that even small interface improvements can have a big impact on efficiency.

4. Better Collaboration: Communication Made Simple

Internal and External communication in Odoo 19 also receive updates

Contacts widget in Emails:

Email addresses are now displayed using interactive popup widgets. Clicking an email instantly shows a contact preview — with essential information at a glance — helping users verify details without leaving the conversation.

Message threads:

Conversations are now organized into threads for better focus. To create a new thread, simply select a message and click "Create Thread".

Role Mentions in Discuss:

• Multiple users can now be mentioned at once in the Discuss App.
• In the configuration of the Discuss app, create your Roles and for each role, set the list of users.

• In any chat, users can type @[role] to mention all users assigned to that role.

Together, these features make internal and external communication in Odoo 19 faster, clearer, and more efficient.
