Understanding the other available view types

The form and list views are essential user interface components, but other than them, a few other specific view types can be used.

We're already familiar with the three basic views: form, tree, and search. Beyond these, the following view types are also available in Odoo Community Edition:

  • kanban presents records as cards that can be organized in columns to create Kanban boards.
  • activity presents a summary of scheduled activities.
  • calendar present records in a calendar format.
  • graph presents data as a graphical chart.
  • pivot presents data as an interactive pivot table.
  • qweb is used to declare QWeb templates to be used in reports, Kanban views, or web pages. However, this is not a web client-supported view type like forms and lists are.

Kanban views will be presented in depth in Chapter 11, Kanban Views and Client-Side QWeb, so they won't be addressed here.
