  285. <p>BI View Editor is a tool integrated in Odoo that allows users define and
  286. execute their own reports without the need to code.</p>
  287. <p>Purpose:</p>
  288. <ul class="simple">
  289. <li>The BI View Editor is used to create reports not already contained in the
  290. standard Odoo, combining data from existing sources.</li>
  291. <li>It has been designed to be used by users with little or no knowledge of
  292. the technical architecture of Odoo. Users visually link business objects
  293. and select the fields to visualize.</li>
  294. <li>The BI View Editor offers users different types of representations,
  295. including tree, graph, pivot views.</li>

  313. <p>To graphically design your analysis data-set:</p>
  314. <ul class="simple">
  315. <li>From the Dashboards menu, select “Custom BI Views”</li>
  316. <li>Browse trough the business objects in the Query tab</li>
  317. <li>Pick the interesting fields (Drag &amp; Drop)</li>
  318. <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>
  319. <li>Save and click “Generate BI View”</li>
  320. <li>Click “Open BI View” to view the result</li>
  321. <li>If module Dashboard (board) is installed, the standard “Add to My Dashboard” functionality would be available</li>
  322. <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>
