This module extends the web module to add new dashboard overview system.

By default, the tile displays items count of a given model restricted to a given domain.

Optionally, the tile can display the result of a function on a field.

  • Function is one of sum, avg, min, max or median.
  • Field must be integer or float.

Tile can be:

  • Displayed only for a user.
  • Global for all users.
  • Restricted to some groups.

Note: The tile will be hidden if the current user doesn't have access to the given model.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Create configurable dashboard tiles that show counts or calculations (sum, average, min, max, median) of records from any Odoo model, grouped into categories that appear as menus under an Overview dashboard.

This module adds an Overview dashboard area where you build tiles that display key numbers from your Odoo data. Each tile belongs to a category, and each category automatically creates its own menu entry under the Overview menu, so users can open a kanban board of tiles.

  • For each tile you choose a model (for example sales orders or currencies), a filter domain, and a main value: either a record count or a calculation (sum, average, minimum, maximum, median) on a numeric field. You can also add a secondary value with its own calculation and field.
  • Values are formatted with a custom format string, and you can set background and font colours. A 'Hide if null' option hides the tile when the main value is empty.
  • Tiles can be personal (assigned to one user), global, or restricted to specific user groups. A security rule ensures users only see tiles that are theirs, global, or shared with their groups. Tiles are automatically hidden if the user has no read access to the selected model.
  • Clicking a tile opens the related records using the tile's domain, either through a chosen action or a default list view.
  • Configuration is done in Overview Settings, with menus for Dashboard Categories and Dashboard Items. Categories show a button with the number of tiles they contain.
