Adding a progress bar in kanban views

Sometimes, you have tons of records in columns and it is very difficult to get a clear picture of the particular stages. A progress bar can be used to display the status of any column. In this recipe, we will display a progress bar on kanban, based on the field named popularity.

Getting started

For this recipe, we will be using the my_library module from the previous recipe.

How to do it...

In order to add a progress bar to the kanban columns, you will need to add a progressbar tag to the kanban view definition, as follows:

<progressbar 
    field="popularity"
    colors='{"low": "success", "medium": "warning", "high": "danger"}'/>

Note that kanban column progress bars were introduced in Odoo version 11. Versions prior to that will not display column progress bars.
