|
||
BI View Editor is a tool integrated in Odoo that allows users define and
|
||
execute their own reports without the need to code.
|
||
|
||
Purpose:
|
||
|
||
* The BI View Editor is used to create reports not already contained in the
|
||
standard Odoo, combining data from existing sources.
|
||
|
||
* 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.
|
||
|
||
* The BI View Editor offers users different types of representations,
|
||
including tree, graph, pivot views.
|
||
|

Usage
|
||
=====
|
||
|
||
To graphically design your analysis data-set:
|
||
|
||
- From the Dashboards menu, select "Custom BI Views"
|
||
- Browse trough the business objects in the Query tab
|
||
- Pick the interesting fields (Drag & Drop)
|
||
- 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
|
||
- Save and click "Generate BI View"
|
||
- Click "Open BI View" to view the result
|
||
- If module Dashboard (board) is installed, the standard "Add to My Dashboard" functionality would be available
|
||
- 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.
|
||
|
||
Known issues / Roadmap
|
||
======================
|
||
|
||
* Non-stored fields and many2many fields are not supported
|
||
* Provide graph view for table relations
|
||
* Extend the capabilities of the tree views (e.g. add sums)
|
||
* Provide a tutorial (eg. a working example of usage)
|
||
* Implement a more advanced UI, with possibilities to use LEFT JOIN as default instead of INNER JOIN
|
||
* Find better ways to extend the *_auto_init()* without override
|
||
* Possibly avoid the monkey patches
|
||
* Data the user has no access to (e.g. in a multi company situation) can be viewed by making a view
|
||
* Store the JSON data structure in ORM
|
||
* Would be nice if models available to select when creating a view are limited to the ones that have intersecting groups (for non technical users)
