This commit refactors f488dc58c3 that added reminder feature in activities.
After merging it was suggested specifications were not correct and it has
been decided to move the whole reminder feature in note.
Reminders are now notes instead of activities. Now when having note appµ
systray proposes to create a note / reminder. A note.note record is created
with info given by the user. If a date is given in the systray quick create
then an activity is scheduled on this note.
This means user can create records in activity systray that are not
activities but notes used as reminders. Those will use the first availableµ
note column for the user.
As reminders are now notes the support of activities not linked to any
document is removed, as well as archiving activities and tests linked to
that behavior.
This commit has been not carefully tested nor in-depth reviewied. It is
considered as too important for the upcoming freeze. This closes task ID
1833628. Closes#24129 . Many thanks to @dpr-odoo for its quick development
and good work on this task.
This commit allows to create personal reminders and to manage them using
activities. It is done using activities not necessarily linked to a record
but only to a user. Reminders can be used for example as a personal todo
list.
Technically we choose to model a reminder as an activity related to no
record. This means having a void res_id and model. An activity type is
added to classify reminders in it.
Settings reminder as done is not done like classic activities. Indeed classic
activities are unlinked and a message is logged on the related document.
As there is no document for reminders those are archived instead. It means
an active field is added as well as an override of toggle_archive to update
systray counter.
Activities systray widget is improved to display reminders in activities
list. This entry leads to a kanban view of activities allowing their
management. It is also possible to create them directly from the systray
allowing a quick creation of reminders.
This commit is related to task ID 41745. Closes#22143 .

This commit introduces generic activities to use in your addons. Activities are
actions user have to take on a document like making a phonecall or organizing
a meeting. Activities come with the mail module as they are integrated in the
Chatter but are not bundled with mail.thread.
New models are
* mail.activity.type: used to categorize activities. Each type is a different
kind of activity e.g. call, mail, meeting. An activity can be generic i.e.
available for all models using activities; or specific to a model in which
case res_model_id field should be used.
* mail.activity: an actual activity to perform. Activities are linked to
documents using res_id and res_model_id fields. Activities have a deadline
that can be used in kanban view to display a status. Once done activities
are unlinked and a message is posted. This message has a new activity_type_id
field that indicates the activity linked to the message.
This commit introduces a mail.activity mixin to use in various addons that
enables the activities feature. It works like the mail.thread mixin. It defines
a activity_ids one2many field toward activities using res_id and res_model_id.
Various related / computed fields are also added to have a global status of
activities on documents.
Activities come with a new JS widget for the form view. It is integrated in the
Chatter widget although it is a separate widget. It displays activities linked
to the current record and allow to schedule, edit and mark done activities.
Use widget="mail_activity" on activity_ids field in form view to use it.
There is also a kanban widget defined. It defines a small widget to integrate
in kanban vignettes. It allow to manage activities directly from the kanban
view. Use widget="kanban_activity" on activitiy_ids field in kanban view to
use it.
Next commits will aim at integrating activities inside main Odoo addons.
Thanks to R&D India for their work and testing on this task. Thanks to belgian
Usabiliteam for reviewing and testing it. Thanks to @jem-odoo for the final
review. May his soul lie in peace with the trumpets of paradise.
