We will continue using the todo_stage module that has been used in previous chapters, and add to it the files implementing the reports.
The report we are going to create will look like this:
The report files should be placed inside a /reports module subdirectory. We will start by adding a reports/todo_report.xml data file. As usual when adding data files, remember to add it to the data key in the __manifest__.py file.
The reports/todo_report.xml file can start off by declaring the new report as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<odoo>
<report id="action_todo_task_report"
string="To-do Tasks"
model="todo.task"
report_type="qweb-pdf"
name="todo_stage.report_todo_task_template"
/>
</odoo> The <report> tag is a shortcut to write data to the ir.actions.report.xml model, which is a particular type of client action. Its data is available in the Settings | Technical | Reports menu option.
