The graph view is one of the views provided by Odoo. It is a graphical representation of data that can be represented as a Bar chart, Pie chart, or Line chart. So that users can easily understand the records.
Let's make a graph view now:
I made a model visa_application.
class VisaApplication(models.Model):
_name = "visa.application"
name = fields.Char(string="Name", help="Name of the applicant")
age = fields.Integer(string="Age")
gender = fields.Char(string="Gender")
date_of_birth = fields.Date(string="Date of Birth")
Then, for the menu, add the action.
<record id="record_action" model="ir.actions.act_window">
<field name="name">Visa Application</field>
<field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
<field name="res_model">visa.application</field>
<field name="view_mode">tree,form,graph</field>
<field name="help" type="html">
<p class="o_view_nocontent_smiling_face">
Create a new record!
</p>
</field>
</record>
<menuitem id="parent_menu_root"
name="Visa"
sequence="6"/>
<menuitem id="menu_id"
name="Visa Application"
parent="parent_menu_root"
action="record_action"
sequence="10"/>
We can set the graph view for the model after we've created the model, menu, and action.
<record model="ir.ui.view" id="visa_application_graph">
<field name="name">visa.application.graph</field>
<field name="model">visa.application</field>
<field name="type">graph</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<graph string="Example" type="bar">
<field name="name" group="True"/>
<field name="name" operator="*"/>
</graph>
</field>
</record>
The graph view model's output is,
