Overview of what’s inside the Horilla HRMS v2 List View.

August 19, 2025

When Horilla HRMS was first launched, one of its most praised features was the List View. It provided HR teams with a structured and clean way to manage employees, recruitment pipelines, and leave records. But as organizations grew, so did the need for a smarter, more feature-rich List View.

With the upcoming Horilla HRMS v2, the List View is undergoing one of its biggest transformations yet. Instead of being a simple table for displaying records, it is becoming a central workspace where HR teams can view, filter, update, and act on data in a seamless way. In this blog, we’ll explore what’s inside the new List View and why it’s a game-changer compared to v1.

From Simple Table to Control Center

In Horilla v1, the List View was reliable and functional. It displayed data neatly, supported basic filtering, and allowed HR managers to perform essential actions. But it was mostly static; you could view records, but deeper interactions often required navigating away to other pages.

In Horilla v2, the List View evolves into something much more powerful. It’s no longer just a table; it’s a control center for HR data. Every action HR managers frequently perform, whether it’s exporting, editing, sorting, filtering, or bulk updating, is now built right into the List View itself. This saves time, reduces clicks, and gives users far more control over how they manage information.

Quick Export

One of the most requested features, Quick Export, is finally making its way into v2. Users will be able to export data directly from the List View into CSV, Excel, or PDF formats. This means HR teams no longer need to generate separate reports or jump into external tools just to extract data.

Preparing compliance reports will take seconds.
Managers can quickly download filtered data for analysis.
Recruiters can share candidate lists without leaving the page.
It’s about making data portable and actionable instantly.

Bulk Update

In v1, updating multiple records meant editing each entry individually — a slow and repetitive process. Horilla v2 introduces Bulk Update, a massive time-saver for HR operations.

With Bulk Update, HR managers can:

Change the department or job role for multiple employees at once.
Update leave statuses for a group of requests in one action.
Shift candidates through recruitment stages in bulk.
This feature reduces repetitive work and ensures consistency across records, especially when dealing with large employee datasets.

Column Toggle & Custom Views

One of the biggest limitations in v1 was that the table columns were mostly fixed. In v2, Horilla introduces Column Toggle and Custom Views. Users can now choose which columns to display and hide the rest, creating a clean, focused workspace.

For example:

While reviewing payroll, only “Employee Name,” “Department,” and “Salary” may be necessary.
During recruitment, only “Candidate Name,” “Stage,” and “Contact Info” may be relevant.
Over time, this flexibility helps each HR team personalize the List View to their workflow.

Select & Multi-Select Options

The upcoming v2 also makes it easier to handle large volumes of data with Select and Multi-Select checkboxes. Instead of working with one record at a time, users can now:

Pick a single record for quick editing.
Select multiple records for bulk actions or exports.
Apply updates to dozens of rows in just a few clicks.

This means that everyday HR operations, like approving leave, moving candidates, or updating job roles, can now be done far more efficiently.

Inline Actions

Another new addition is Inline Actions. Instead of opening a record’s detail page, common actions like edit, view, delete, or move to the next stage can be performed directly inside the List View row. This reduces clicks and speeds up daily tasks, especially for recruiters and HR managers working with hundreds of entries.

Why Horilla v2 List View is a Game-Changer

All these improvements together make the List View in Horilla HRMS v2 a completely different experience from v1. Instead of being a simple table, it becomes a dynamic, customizable, and action-oriented dashboard for HR data.

With features like Quick Export, Bulk Update, Smarter Sorting, Column Toggle, and Inline Actions, HR teams can:

Save time on repetitive tasks.
Customize their views for specific workflows.
Manage larger datasets with ease.
Reduce errors through consistent bulk actions.
Focus on people, not paperwork.

Conclusion

The Horilla HRMS v2 List View represents a huge leap forward from v1. What was once a basic table is now transforming into a powerful hub for HR operations, designed to handle both everyday needs and complex workflows. From quick exports and bulk updates to column customization and inline actions, the List View is smarter, faster, and more adaptable than ever before.

As v2 prepares for release, it’s clear that the List View will be one of the most valuable upgrades for HR teams. It’s not just about managing data, it’s about empowering HR professionals with tools that save time, reduce effort, and improve accuracy.
