Progress Widgets in Odoo

In Odoo, Progress Widgets are used to visually represent the progress of various tasks or activities. These widgets are particularly useful in dashboards, form views, and reports to give users a quick overview of the completion status of specific projects or goals.

Understanding Progress Widgets

A Progress Widget is designed to show the percentage of completion. It can be applied to fields that track progress, such as project completion, task completion, or sales targets. By using a Progress Widget, users can easily gauge how much work has been completed and what remains.

Using the Progress Widget in Odoo

To use a Progress Widget, you need to define it in your model’s XML view. Here’s a simple example:

xml
<field name="progress" widget="progress" options="{'max_value': 100}" />

In this example:

  • name="progress": This is the field in your model that tracks progress.
  • widget="progress": This specifies that the field should be displayed as a progress bar.
  • options="{'max_value': 100}": This sets the maximum value for the progress bar.

Example: Creating a Progress Widget

Let’s consider a scenario where you want to track the progress of a project. You could have a field called progress_percentage that holds the completion percentage. Here’s how you can define it:

xml
<record id="view_project_form" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">project.form</field>
    <field name="model">project.project</field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <form>
            <sheet>
                <group>
                    <field name="name"/>
                    <field name="progress_percentage" widget="progress" options="{'max_value': 100}" />
                </group>
            </sheet>
        </form>
    </field>
</record>

Conclusion

Progress Widgets in Odoo provide an efficient way to visualize task completion. By integrating these widgets into your forms and reports, you enhance user experience and facilitate better project management. Utilizing the progress widget helps stakeholders stay informed about project statuses at a glance.
