Odoo 16
Creating a calendar view in Odoo 16 can be a powerful tool for
efficiently organizing and visualizing events, tasks, or appointments
within the Odoo application. A calendar view allows users to have a
clear and intuitive display of time-sensitive information, making it
easier to manage schedules and stay organized. In this slide, we will
delve into the steps and considerations involved in creating a
calendar view in Odoo 16, enabling you to streamline your workflow
and enhance productivity.
Let’s go through the code,
First we need to define the models and corresponding fields that we need to create the
calendar view. After defining the fields this is the view of the model.
For this view , we need to create the calendar view. For that we need to define
the XML files under the ‘views’ directory of the module. In that file we need to
specify the calendar view using ‘<calendar>’.
Let’s check the code ,
Then we need to define the view type calendar in the action,
In the calendar view we need to add multiple attributes, let’s explain one by
one
• date_start - It indicates the starting date of the calendar event. If we provide a date field from the model for which we are
creating the calendar view in this field, It will take as the starting date of the calendar event.
• date_stop - It indicates the ending date of the calendar event.
• mode - Calendar view provides a view on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. It indicates the default view mode of the Calendar
view when the page is loaded. The values for this attribute can be Day, Week, Month.
• color - This gives color for different events based on the specified field(generally many2one). Records with the same value for this
field will show the same color.
• event_open_popup - If this is set, then the event will open as a popup. That is if the event_open_popup="true" then the view
that extends from the calendar will open as a popup. Otherwise, it will open events in a form.
• quick_add - This field can do instant event creation.
• avatar_field - Used to filter the many2one records.
Let’s look the view, we can see the icon calendar in the view
