This module lets you define global date ranges that can be used to filter
your values in tree views.
It also provides a mixin model for developers that extends the model's search
view so that date ranges can be search as any relational field.

Installation
============
The addon use the daterange method from postgres. This method is supported as of postgresql 9.2
Configuration
=============
For regular usage, see `Usage` below. This section is to clarify optional
functionality to developers.
To configure a model to use the Many2one style search field, make the model
inherit from `date.range.search.mixin`:
.. code-block::
class AccountMove(models.Model):
_name = "account.move"
_inherit = ["account.move", "date.range.search.mixin"]
This will make a `Period` field show up in the search view:

:alt: Date range Many2one search field
By default, the mixin works on the `date` field. If you want the mixin to work
on a field with a different name, you can set a property on your model:
.. code-block::
_date_range_search_field = "invoice_date"

It's also possible to launch a wizard from the 'Generate Date Ranges' menu.
.. figure:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/server-tools/14.0/date_range/static/description/date_range_wizard.png

The wizard is useful to generate recurring periods. Set an end date or enter the number of ranges to create.

* Your date ranges are now available in the search filter for any date or datetime fields
Date range types are proposed as a filter operator

Once a type is selected, date ranges of this type are porposed as a filter value
.. figure:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/server-tools/14.0/date_range/static/description/date_range_as_filter.png

:alt: Date range as filter value
And the dates specified into the date range are used to filter your result.

* You can configure date range types with default values for the generation wizard on the `Generation` tab.
In the same tab you can also configure date range types for auto-generation. New ranges for types configured for this are generated by a scheduled task that runs daily.
