Currently there are several issues with this configuration box
* default_<field> does not generate automatically ir.values anymore.
Defining default_model does not work since it is not linked to an
existing <field> in current model sale.config.settings. Checkbox
value is therefore not saved and lost at reload;
* box label is not clear as user may understand unchecking it drops
all aliases or email support. This is not the case as it is only used
to define an alias creating unassigned leads. This is a rare use case
where leads assignation is done manually;
* checking / unchecking the 'Emails' box does not have any effect on
default info alias. This is counter-intuitive as user asks to remove
the feature but it still works in background;
This commit fixes those issues by
* correctly setting the checkbox value in an ir.config_parameter so that
it is not lost anymore at reload;
* inactivating info alias by default;
* adding onchanges so that values are reset when unchecking checkboxes;
* updating string and displayed label and helps for the 'Emails' section;
* putting that Emails checkbox in advanced mode as it is a rare use case;
CRM module depends on base automation only to have some automated
actions as demo data. To avoid having unnecessary dependencies
automated action demo data have been removed. This allows to remove
the dependency between CRM and base automation.
First step towards cleaning and improving automated actions is to
correctly name things. base_action_rule module is therefore renamed
to base_automation. Model is also renamed to base.automation.
Main idea of this commit is to simplify the various options of
ir.actions.server model. Purpose is to make it a simple tool to
execute some actions or python code. This has two main consequences
* create and update server actions are simplified to update only the
current record. Complex options can always be achieved by python code
instead of error-prone option building mechanism;
* condition of server actions is removed. If a condition is necessary it
can either be included in a code server action, or integrated in an
automated action;
This commit features :
* remove 'client_action' server action type. Indeed this can be achieved
with a code server action returning an action;
* remove 'condition' on ir_actions_server model. From now on conditions
and triggers are managed in server action code or using automated
or scheduled action;
* clean 'create and copy a record'. Create and link are the proposed
options. Copy of the record or of a selected record is removed. Link
is simplified by removing the parsed expression that allowed complex
path update. It is simpler to write code than write python-like
expression in char fields;
* remove 'use_write' options. It now simply updates a record;
* remove 'write_expression' as it is replaced by code actions;
* remove 'ref_object' not used anymore with the removal of "choose
a record";
* remove helper to build an expression not used anymore with the removal
of "write expression";
* remove object ID finder;
* removed template display when choosing an email template; just go
on the template if you want more details;
* refactor server action form view to reflect changes. It will be used
in future commits as base view for automated and scheduled actions;
* add 'sequence' in list view;
* add new 'usage' selection field allowing to distinguish which model
uses the server action. Indeed as server action will soon be used
in scheduled or automated actions having a clue about the usage
is always helpful;
Thanks to @fpodoo for the original idea and preliminary work. Thanks to

Functional
==========
Sales teams become sales channels. Their dashboard cards now include a graph
displaying customizable data for managers (comparable to those in accounting).
By default, you now have the following sales channels (non-demo):
Direct Sales (with installation of crm or sale)
Sales Channel type: Sales
Works same as before, what's changed is:
- their cards display one big button directing to the start of their
workflow
- the links on the right-hand side have been reworked, and are only
displayed when there is at least one item requiring attention.
- 'More' tab remains unchanged.
Website (with installation of website_sale)
Sales Channel type: Website
Differences lies in the links displayed in the dashboard card:
- it displays abandoned carts, awaiting payments and payments to capture
Default Channel linked to all sales made from the eCommerce.
Point of Sale (with installation of sale and point_of_sale
-> auto-installs pos_sale)
Sales Channel type: Point of Sale
Linked to pos.configs and their pos.sessions and pos.orders.
- only links to their linked pos.config dashboard and open sessions
- can't use opportunities, lead or invoicing and can only display
pos.order data in the graph.
Default Channel linked to the default pos.config.
Technical
=========
- Add a channel type: sales, pos, website that have different actions/settings
- Add a graphs to the kanban cards in the sales/crm dashboard, configurable in
the form view in the new dashboard page.
- Rename sales teams to sales channels, rename and add default and demo sales
channels
- Change dashboard links depending on the channel type and add a related
computed fields on crm.team
- Rename strings and improve channel form view.
- Leads are now checked by default once activated for 'sales' type channels
- Disable checking "leads" without using "opportunities".
- Hide invoicing and invoicing target depending on channel type.
- Move currency_id to sales_team
crm.lead model now supports activities. Filters have been added to ease
their management. Mail activities replace the old crm.activity model. All code
related to crm.activity is then removed, including views and custom widget.
Standard activities feature is now used widely in Odoo addons and replace
those custom activities.
A small update is required in website_crm_partner_assign. Now the portal user
can only update or create its own activities aka assigned to him. If he has
an activity assigned to him it is displayed in the opportunity website view.
If not editing the opportunity will create a new activity assigned to him.
Change color #a24689 to #875A7B
Commit https://github.com/odoo/enterprise/commit/8ac1c19fac7615fecd51e670f798d13158a4e53c
changed the odoo interface violet by changing the main LESS variable
but forgot there was many direct occurences in XML/HTML/... (for
example for the mobile browser color).
Even if it's community the odoo interface violet is used at many places
(module description, XML demo data, ...).
As we will soon improve the sanitizer we will be able to sanitize email
templates body. However this implies some cleaning in the templates to
be sure mako is not considered as invalid html / xml and therefore removed
from the template body.
The step consisting to go back to the app switcher doesn't work in community,
obviously, so this commit make it active in enterprise only.
Also make the Settings app selector more robust by accessing it through its
xmlid, as we do for other apps and menus.
Stages are now shared by default between sales team. As the sales flow should
be quite the same whatever the sales team, stages are now shared and not
sales team dependant.
The possibility of customizing the flow by adding stages specific to a sales
team still exist. Stages have a team_id field that can be set in the stage
form, in configuration. However this is not the default behavior. A stage
is either common to all sales team, either specific to only one sales team.
This is why there is no team_ids field anymore, only team_id.
Moreover leads do not use stage anymore. A lead is either alive or archived.
The type field on stages is then removed, as all stages are now used in
opportunities only.
A small hack has been introduced in crm_stage default_get. Indeed when going
from the pipeline, creating a stage with a sales team in context should not
create a stage for the current sales team only. Therefore unless specified
in the context, default_team_id is discarded in the default get context.
Activities in opportunities are now handled through a wizard and not through
the form view anymore. The wizard is called via a Log an activity button. The
wizard allows to log an activity and to schedule the next activity. It
replaces the various <next activities> / Done / Cancel link buttons on the
form view that nobody seemed to inderstand.
This reverts commit ab303435d3.
Changing a feature one week before freezing a new saas, without review,
without spec, without testing, does not seem to fit the R&D process.
This commit will be set in a branch, tested and reviewed accordingly.
- Add a 'Quotations' button on the sales team kanban dashboard
- Add default stages for crm.lead objects
- Add a pivot view for the opportunities
- Modify a menutip
- Add a few tips
aliases explanation and redirection to the general settings.
Added an option to automatically generate an alias for sales
teams, like what is done in projects.
Some cleaning has been done in the form view. Aliases are
valable only for sales team managing leads.
Stages are now sales team dependant, and not shared anymore. This comes
with a sales-team way of working :
- sales team is the entrance point, click on the big Pipeline button to
see the opportunities pipeline of this specific sales team
- no more opportunities menu entry, as you should come from a sales team
- leads are still sales-team agnostic
The stage management has been updated :
- Won is still a stage (probability=100, onchange=1).
- Lost is not a stage anymore. Lost is equivalent to archiving. Archiving
uses the active field. Setting a lead or an opportunity as lost set them
as unactive.
Downside of the no more share policy: multi sales team opportunities
management can quickly become complicated. Indeed you may have stages
with the same name, not being the same stage, therefore not displayed
in the same column. Grouping on the stage name leads to other issues
(sequencing incoherence, impossible to drag n drop), so this is not
an option.
won: probability=100 (on lead)
loss: probability=0 and not active
Won / Loss Replaced most complex domains (merge leads wizard...) by active=True
[IMP] Code cleaning / removing:
unused report.crm.*
merged crm.lead.report and crm.opportunity.report (one report with domains)
[IMP] Cleaned demo data:
Won / Loss, Put back "New" stage
Removed "Marketing" sales team
[IMP] Removed Multiple salesteam setting (always multiple salesteam
Always display the dashboard (multiple salesteam)
No more option in settings
[FIX] misc fixes (bad domains), type not required
- sales_team: remove field note, usability improvement in kanban and form views
- crm: in crm.stage remove default_case, sequence and legend_priority fields and remove default stage_ids + some fields in technical group
- sale: add field use_invoices on sales_team and display links in dashboard according to this new field
to define custom light workflows on opportunities.
Activities are linked to mail.message.subtype through inheritance.
This means that the follow mechanism works for activities. When
an activity is done, a message with the matching subtype is posted
on the opportunity.
Activities are internal by default. They are only visible by
employees.
A shortcut in the 'log a note' chatter option allows to post a
note linked to an activity (subtype).
