<p>BI View Editor is a tool integrated in Odoo that allows users define and
execute their own reports without the need to code.</p>
<p>Purpose:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The BI View Editor is used to create reports not already contained in the
standard Odoo, combining data from existing sources.</li>
<li>It has been designed to be used by users with little or no knowledge of
the technical architecture of Odoo. Users visually link business objects
and select the fields to visualize.</li>
<li>The BI View Editor offers users different types of representations,
including tree, graph, pivot views.</li>
</ul>

</div>
<div class="section" id="installation">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">Installation</a></h1>
<p>In the Odoo configuration file add <tt class="docutils literal">bi_view_editor</tt> in the list
<tt class="docutils literal">server_wide_modules</tt>:</p>
<pre class="code ini literal-block">
<span class="k">[options]</span>
<span class="na">(...)</span>
<span class="na">server_wide_modules</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">web,bi_view_editor</span>
<span class="na">(...)</span>
</pre>
<p>Alternatively specify <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--load=bi_view_editor</span></tt> when starting Odoo by command line.</p>
<p>Optionally it is possible to enable the view of the ER Diagram. For this you
need to install <cite>Graphviz</cite>, an open source graph visualization software:</p>
<pre class="code bash literal-block">
<span class="sb">``</span>sudo apt-get install graphviz<span class="sb">``</span>
</pre>
</div>
<div class="section" id="usage">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Usage</a></h1>
<p>To graphically design your analysis data-set:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>From the Dashboards menu, select “Custom BI Views”</li>
<li>Browse trough the business objects in the “Query Builder” tab</li>
<li>Pick the interesting fields (Drag &amp; Drop)</li>
<li>For each selected field, right-click on the Options column and select whether
it’s a row, column or measure; if you want to remove the field from the list
view, unflag the checkbox ´List´ in the Options column</li>
<li>Save and click “Generate BI View”</li>
<li>Click “Open BI View” to view the result</li>
</ul>
<p>To access the created BI View with a dedicated menu:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>If module Dashboard (board) is installed, the standard “Add to My Dashboard”
functionality would be available</li>
<li>Click “Create a menu” to create a new menu item directly linked to your new
BI view (this feature is available in developer mode); when the BI view is
reset back to draft this menu will be removed, and you will need to re-create
the menu entry.</li>
</ul>
<p>A more advanced UI is also available under the “Details” tab. It provides extra
possibilities for more advanced users, like to use LEFT JOIN instead of the
default INNER JOIN.</p>
<p>It also possible to improve the IDs generation for new views by adding an
<cite>Over Condition</cite> in the “SQL” tab, see <a class="reference external" href="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-expressions.html#SYNTAX-WINDOW-FUNCTIONS">https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-expressions.html#SYNTAX-WINDOW-FUNCTIONS</a>
for further details.
For instance, an ORDER BY clause helps preventing unreliable behavior when
filtering the generated views.</p>

<div class="section" id="known-issues-roadmap">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3">Known issues / Roadmap</a></h1>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Non-stored fields and many2many fields are not supported.</li>
<li>Provide a tutorial (eg. a working example of usage).</li>
<li>Find better ways to extend the <em>_auto_init()</em> without override.</li>
<li>Possibly avoid the monkey patches.</li>
<li>Data the user has no access to (e.g. in a multi company situation) can be
viewed by making a view. Would be nice if models available to select when
creating a view are limited to the ones that have intersecting groups.</li>
