Package: odoo11-addon-bi-view-editor
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.Table of contentsUsageKnown issues / RoadmapBug TrackerCreditsAuthorsContributorsOther creditsImagesFundersMaintainersUsageTo graphically design your analysis data-set:From the Dashboards menu, select “Custom BI Views”Browse trough the business objects in the Query tabPick 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 columnSave and click “Generate BI View”Click “Open BI View” to view the resultIf module Dashboard (board) is installed, the standard “Add to My Dashboard” functionality would be availableClick “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 / RoadmapNon-stored fields and many2many fields are not supportedProvide graph view for table relationsExtend 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 JOINFind better ways to extend the_auto_init()without overridePossibly avoid the monkey patchesData the user has no access to (e.g. in a multi company situation) can be viewed by making a viewStore the JSON data structure in ORMWould be nice if models available to select when creating a view are limited to the ones that have intersecting groups (for non technical users)Bug TrackerBugs are tracked onGitHub Issues.
