This module introduces a new way to guide the user through Odoo. This module is created because the standard Odoo tours:

  • forces the user to create records;
  • cannot be reopened;
  • is only available for the admin user;
  • the bubbles are not obvious.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Adds a help button in Odoo that starts step-by-step guided tours highlighting parts of the screen, so users can learn how to create users or change a password without creating records.

This module adds a small question-mark help button to the Odoo interface. When a guided tour exists for the screen you are on, the button appears in the control panel (the top bar of a view) and in the header of dialog windows. Clicking it starts a short guided tour: the relevant part of the screen is highlighted and a small bubble explains what to do, with buttons such as "Got it", "Next", "Finish" or "Close".

Two guided tours are included: - On the Users list and kanban views, it shows where to click to create a new user, how to use the search bar to find users, and how to switch between views. - On the Change Password wizard form, it points to the new password field and to the button that confirms the change.

Tours are read-only guidance: they do not create or modify any records, and they can be started again at any time. The module works entirely in the web client; it does not add any new database model, menu or report. It only extends existing screens by adding the help button and the highlighting overlay.
