Utilities

Small tools that are available across the database.

Calculator

A calculator is available from the systray, at the top right of any backend screen. Click the (calculator) icon to open it, perform the calculation with the number and operator buttons, and drag the calculator by its body to move it out of the way. It stays open while working in another screen.

Note

Requires the Odoo Calculator (odoo_calculator_tool) module.

Gantt view

The Web Gantt (web_gantt) module adds a Gantt view type: on models that have a start and a stop date, records are displayed as bars on a timeline, which can be zoomed and scrolled. Where the view is available, it appears in the view switcher of the model, next to the list and kanban views, and it can also be added to My Dashboard.

Note

The Gantt view has to be declared on a model; it is not automatically available everywhere.
