+BI View Editor is a tool integrated in Odoo that allows users define and
+execute their own reports without the need to code.
+
+Purpose:
+
+* The BI View Editor is used to create reports not already contained in the
+  standard Odoo, combining data from existing sources.
+
+* It has been designed to be used by users with little or no knowledge of
+  the technical architecture of Odoo. Users visually link business objects
+  and select the fields to visualize.
+
+* The BI View Editor offers users different types of representations,
+  including tree, graph, pivot views.

+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.
