The new menu "Report Center" is the central place to host your reports in one place. From here, there are 2 ways to launch the report,
- Run Now - run report immediately as per normal.
- Run Background - put the report execution to queue job.
By using the queue job, option 2 is great for long running report. The report file will be saved for later use, with the option to send report by email as soon as it is ready.
Notes:
- Only user with Technical Feature rights can manage the report.
- Every internal user will have right to execute the report allowed for his/her groups.
- The files created are owned and viewable only by the person who run the report.
- Job queue manager can also see all jobs for each reports.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds a Report Center where users can run reports immediately or in the background, saving the generated files for later download and optionally emailing a link when the report is ready.
This module adds a new **Report Center** menu (under the Spreadsheet Dashboard menu) that lists configured reports. Each entry points to an existing report action and can be run in two ways:
- **Run Now** executes the report immediately, exactly as before.
- **Run Background** sends the report to the job queue so long reports do not block the user. This button only appears when the report is flagged as allowed for background processing.
When a background report finishes, the generated file is stored as an attachment owned by the person who launched it. If **Email Notification** is enabled, an email with a download link is sent automatically. Users can open the **Files** button to see their own generated files, and job queue managers can open the **Jobs** button to inspect the related queue jobs, including the latest status and any error message.
Access is controlled by groups: a report can be restricted to selected user groups, and users only see reports allowed for their groups. Only users with technical features can create or edit report entries. A separate **Print Document** wizard lets a user pick any document and a report template and execute it directly.
The module touches report.async, ir.actions.report, ir.actions.act_window, ir.attachment, queue.job and adds a print.report.wizard.
