One very nice feature of OpenERP is the flexible but easy-to-use search functionality that is provided on every list view. With a module, you can add additional filter options that make it easier for users to find the information they are looking for. In our real-world example, we have placed an importance on rush orders. Therefore, it would be desirable to have a filter option on our sales order view that will limit our listing to only display rush orders.
Here is how the final search filter view will appear after we implement the module changes:
When Rush Only is checked, the sales order list view will limit the orders to only those orders that are specified as rush orders. Quickly, users can now locate rush orders without creating custom filters. This is an example of how a small change can have significant real-world benefits to usability. Best of all, with OpenERP you are making these changes without modifying any of the base OpenERP source...
