  4. =============
  5. Timeline view
  6. =============
  7. Define a new view displaying events in an interactive visualization chart.
  8. The widget is based on the external library
  9. http://visjs.org/timeline_examples.html
  10. Configuration
  11. =============
  12. You need to define a view with the tag <timeline> as base element. These are
  13. the possible attributes for the tag:
  14. * date_start (required): it defines the name of the field of type date that
  15. contains the start of the event.
  16. * date_end (optional): it defines the name of the field of type date that
  17. contains the end of the event. The date_end can be equal to the attribute
  18. date_start to display events has 'point' on the Timeline (instantaneous event)
  19. * date_delay (optional): it defines the name of the field of type float/integer
  20. that contain the duration in hours of the event, default = 1
  21. * default_group_by (required): it defines the name of the field that will be
  22. taken as default group by when accessing the view or when no other group by
  23. is selected.
  24. * zoomKey (optional): Specifies whether the Timeline is only zoomed when an
  25. additional key is down. Available values are '' (does not apply), 'altKey',
  26. 'ctrlKey', or 'metaKey'. Set this option if you want to be able to use the
  27. scroll to navigate vertically on views with a lot of events.
  28. * default_window (optional): Specifies the initial visible window. Aviable values are:
  29. 'day' to display the next 24 hours, 'week', 'month' and 'fit'.
  30. Default value is 'fit' to adjust the visible window such that it fits all items
  31. * event_open_popup (optional): when set to true, it allows to edit the events
  32. in a popup. If not (default value), the record is edited changing to form
  33. view.
  34. * colors (optional): it allows to set certain specific colors if the expressed
  35. condition (JS syntax) is met.
  36. You also need to declare the view in an action window of the involved model.
  37. Example:
  38. .. code-block:: xml
  39. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  40. <odoo>
  41. <record id="view_task_timeline" model="ir.ui.view">
  42. <field name="model">project.task</field>
  43. <field name="type">timeline</field>
  44. <field name="arch" type="xml">
  45. <timeline date_start="date_start"
  46. date_stop="date_end"
  47. string="Tasks"
  48. default_group_by="user_id"
  49. event_open_popup="true"
  50. zoomKey="ctrlKey"
  51. colors="#ec7063:user_id == false;#2ecb71:kanban_state=='done';">
  52. </timeline>
  53. </field>
  54. </record>
  55. <record id="project.action_view_task" model="ir.actions.act_window">
  56. <field name="view_mode">kanban,tree,form,calendar,gantt,timeline,graph</field>
  57. </record>
  58. </odoo>
  59. Usage
  60. =====
  61. For accessing the timeline view, you have to click on the button with the clock
  62. icon in the view switcher. The first time you access to it, the timeline window
  63. is zoomed to fit all the current elements, the same as when you perform a
  64. search, filter or group by operation.
  65. You can use the mouse scroll to zoom in or out in the timeline, and click on
  66. any free area and drag for panning the view in that direction.
  67. The records of your model will be shown as rectangles whose widths are the
  68. duration of the event according our definition. You can select them clicking
  69. on this rectangle. You can also use Ctrl or Shift keys for adding discrete
  70. or range selections. Selected records are hightlighted with a different color
  71. (but the difference will be more noticeable depending on the background color).
  72. Once selected, you can drag and move the selected records across the timeline.
  73. When a record is selected, a red cross button appears on the upper left corner
  74. that allows to remove that record. This doesn't work for multiple records
  75. although they were selected.
  76. Records are grouped in different blocks depending on the group by criteria
  77. selected (if none is specified, then the default group by is applied).
  78. Dragging a record from one block to another change the corresponding field to
  79. the value that represents the block. You can also click on the group name to
  80. edit the involved record directly.
  81. Double-click on the record to edit it. Double-click in open area to create a
  82. new record with the group and start date linked to the area you clicked in.
