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.

Documentation to help developers use the following classes:
- utm.mixin
- rating.mixin
- website.published.mixin
- website.seo.metadata
- mail.thread
- mail.alias.mixin
After careful consideration, the ir.needaction.mixin was
not included in this doc page since it is no longer displayed
anywhere and will be dropped quite soon.
A new preprocess method is added to the template engine in order to do
preprocessing/sanitization of the templates before compilation.
This method can be overloaded in order to add new features such as
