Summary


In this chapter we examined the Project Management application. We created an example of a real-world project involving our Lil League organization. After setting up our project and assigning team members, we defined the various stages that would be involved in completing the project. With the stages defined, we were able to go through and assign various tasks to the stages along with their dates of completion. Finally, we looked at the various ways you can view the tasks and how you can complete them.

In the next chapter we will explore how you can create advanced searches and custom dashboards in OpenERP. As a company uses its system day to day, the amount of data collected can grow quite rapidly. Being able to locate pertinent records in a speedy fashion is vital for optimum business operation. We'll discover how to utilize all the handy searching, filtering, and dashboard presentation tools that are at our disposal within OpenERP.
