Graph and pivot views
In this recipe, we'll take a look at Odoo's business intelligence views. These are read-only views meant to present data.
Getting ready
We're still making use of the project module here. First, we need some configuration. Activate the Track time spent on projects and tasks checkbox in Configuration | Settings and also install the hr_timesheet module in order to be able to record some time on different tasks.
Now, create some projects meant to be umbrella projects for your customers. Then, create a couple of tasks for each customer project. They are meant to model different activities you have per customer. Assign different managers to these projects and activate the Allow timesheets box. Finally, create tasks in these projects, give a time estimation per task, and write some work hours on these tasks.
How to do it...
- Define a graph view using bars:
<record id="graph_project_task_bar" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="model">project.task</field>
...
