One of the greatest advantages of Odoo is that it is easy to get up and running with very little setup. Within just a few minutes you can have several applications installed and you can begin working with the system right away. In the previous chapters, we covered a great deal of functionality without having to spend a lot of time on configuration, access rules, languages, or other administrative topics.
Now, we will take a closer look at some important topics to consider when administering an Odoo installation. Topics that we will cover in this chapter include the following:
- Basic administration of an Odoo installation
- Backing up and restoring Odoo databases
- Creating users and assigning access rights
- Internationalization, including currencies and language translation
- How to manage document sequences
- Multi-company configurations
