Understanding the other available view types
The form and list views are essential user interface components, but other than them, a few other specific view types can be used.
We're already familiar with the three basic views: form
, tree
, and search
. Beyond these, the following view types are also available in Odoo Community Edition:
kanban
presents records as cards that can be organized in columns to create Kanban boards.activity
presents a summary of scheduled activities.calendar
present records in a calendar format.graph
presents data as a graphical chart.pivot
presents data as an interactive pivot table.qweb
is used to declare QWeb templates to be used in reports, Kanban views, or web pages. However, this is not a web client-supported view type like forms and lists are.
Kanban views will be presented in depth in Chapter 11, Kanban Views and Client-Side QWeb, so they won't be addressed here.
