BI View Editor

+ + +

Beta License: AGPL-3 OCA/reporting-engine Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runbot

+

BI View Editor is a tool integrated in Odoo that allows users define and +execute their own reports without the need to code.

+

Purpose:

+ +

Table of contents

+ +
+

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)
    • +
