This commit improves fleet contracts management through a better integration
of activities and addition of automated activities. Several things are done
in this commit :
* fleet vehicle log contract does not inherit from mail.activity.mixin.
This commit adds the inherit so that fleet users and managers can now
schedule and manage activities on vehicle contracts. This will help them
in their daily job;
* automatic activities generation is added when contracts are nearly expired
and renewal is required;
* a menu to configure activity types is added. Indeed fleet managers should
be able to see and configure activity types related to their job;
* filters are added to be able to use the systray and to filter the kanban
view based on activities
Having automated activities allow to replace some messages posted on the
contract. Indeed currently there are messages posted on vehicles about
contracts to renew. As we now have automated activities on contracts to
remind assigned people to renew it the log can be safely removed. It will
lessen noise generated on chatter.
Purpose: Improve fleet for a better usability
Dashboard:
- Replace 'leasing' button by a contract status icon in kanban tiles
- Add a link to contract
- Link to vehicule form when clicking on the tile
Vehicle form:
- Track contract status in a chatter
- Add a model_year
Contracts:
- Imporve the states names
- Split service types in two list views service/contracts
- Execute a cron once a day to upgrade contract status
- Add a new contract status is introduced 'Expiring Soon' to help
spot contracts that will expire until 15 days with a filter.
- Add a 'group by vehicle' to improve list usability
Fuel logs view: Add an an odometer column
The purpose of this commit is to handle code execution only in server
action and delegate schedule management to ir_cron model.
ir.cron model now inherits from ir.actions.server. Fields model, function
and args are removed as well as the logic to handle them. There is no
more code manipulation and evaluation in ir_cron, only a call to the run
method of ir.actions.server.
Cron form view use server action form view as primary view. This way
automated actions use the same base form as server actions with
cron details added.
Thanks to @fpodoo for the original idea and preliminary work. Thanks to
@jpr-odoo for first developments. Thanks to @jem-odoo for reviewing.
