|
||
<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>
|
||

<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="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 & 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>
