Adds a "refresh" channel to the web client, which can be used to trigger a view refresh without refreshing the browser itself. Furthermore, it allows the user the creation of "refresh" rules. These rules can be applied to any Odoo model and trigger a refresh either on create, write or unlink.
Refresh rules can be created easily inside of Odoo. The view to
create rules is located under "Settings" "Technical" "Auto Refresh" "Rule".
Each model can only have one corresponding rule to prevent
inconsistency.
Auto Refresh supports the Odoo Chatter Widget. By creating a rule for the Message model and one for the Activity model, the corresponding views will refresh if a new message is sent.
