Odoo 17 Development Book

Activity

Activities offer clear instructions for the next steps, reducing uncertainty and helping maintain focus on work. Odoo supports scheduled activities across various records. For illustration purposes, let's use an opportunity within the CRM module.

By clicking the Activities button, a new activity can be created.

In this context, the fields are:

  • Activity Type: Select the desired activity type.
  • Summary: Provide a description of the specified activity.
  • Due Date: Set the deadline for completing the activity.
  • Assigned To: Designate the person responsible for the activity.

Activities can be planned directly from the tree view, form view, and calendar view of the records. In the case of opportunity cards, a clock symbol is present with varying colors corresponding to different activities. Clicking the schedule button allows users to plan activities. If the button is gray, it indicates no activities are currently planned. Scheduled opportunities appear in green, those due today are in yellow, and red signifies that it's time to take action.

Additionally, users have the flexibility to create custom activity types through configuration in the CRM module or in the general settings of Odoo.
