How to Configure the Advanced Kanban View in Odoo 16

Technical Odoo 16

Different types of views are present in Odoo, which helps users better understand the data. In this blog, we are going to discuss the Advanced Kanban view in Odoo 16.

The data are graphically represented as cards in Kanban view, and the records can be grouped for better visualisation.

Let’s have a look at a Kanban view for the model project.task in Odoo.

Let's see how we can use the different parameters in Kanban tag.

<kanban
   default_group_by="stage_id"
   class="o_kanban_small_column o_kanban_project_tasks"
   on_create="quick_create"
   quick_create_view="project.quick_create_task_form"
   examples="project"
   js_class="project_task_kanban" sample="1">

It is a kanban tag defined for project.task.

It allows to create record from kanban view itself.

We can also give a window action record id as its value.

<kanban
           class="oe_background_grey o_kanban_dashboard o_project_kanban o_emphasize_colors"
           on_create="project.open_create_project"
           action="action_view_tasks" type="object"
           sample="1"
           default_order="sequence, name, id"
       >

<record id="open_create_project" model="ir.actions.act_window">
   <field name="name">Create a Project</field>
   <field name="res_model">project.project</field>
   <field name="view_mode">form</field>
   <field name="view_id" ref="project_project_view_form_simplified_footer"/>
   <field name="target">new</field>
   <field name="context">{"default_allow_billable": 1}</field>
</record>

action

It can be used in other views as well. Along with type=”object” we can give a python function name in this parameter. In action we can specify a python function, which will be executed while clicking on the kanban record.

default_order

Using this parameter we can specify in which order the kanban records should be visible in view. Here tasks will be displayed accordingly related to their sequence, name and id fields.

By default it will be sorting the ascending order of the field given in this parameter, but if we want to order the record using descending order, we can specify it as

default_order = “name desc”

default_group_by

This parameter is used to group the kanban cards by a field. In the above example, the tasks are grouped by stages.stage_id is a field in project task.

While specifying archivable=”false”, the Archive All and Unarchive All options will be removed.

records_draggable

This parameter allows you to drag and drop Kanban cards into different groups. Its default value is "true." If records_draggable=”false”, then drag and drop of Kanban records will be impossible.

Progress bar

It is used to have a progress bar at the top of a kanban group.

‘progressbar’ is defined inside the kanban view definition.

Below is an example of usage of progressbar in CRM leads

<progressbar field="activity_state" colors='{"planned": "success", "today": "warning", "overdue": "danger"}'/>

Two parameters can be used inside the progressbar, field, and colors

field: The progress bar will be displayed based on this field

colors: The various colors used in the progress bar are a success, warning, danger, and muted. We can assign these colors as the values to the required field.

Another optional parameter that can be used in the progress bar is sum_field.
