Purpose
======
Sometimes, a task can only be completed once another is (e.g. 'install boiler' can only be done once 'order boiler' is complete). Communicating this information is key to organize a project and for the users to know on what they can start working when.
## Settings in Project App
- Add a 'Task Dependencies' setting under the 'Tasks Management' section
- Add the same setting on the project form view.
- As for the sub-tasks feature, enabling this feature in the settings of the app, should enable it on all existing and newly created projects with is_fsm = false.
## Task form view
- Add a 'Blocked by' notebook.
- In this notebook:
- add new many2many field called *depend_on_ids* containing the tasks in which the current task depends on these tasks with the following fields displayed by default: name, user_id, date_deadline, stage_id.
- add a 'view task' button on each line that should open the corresponding form view.
- Filter task list for depend_on_ids Many2many field.
- Check no cyclic task dependencies.

Infinitely flexible. Incredibly easy to use.
Odoo's collaborative and realtime open source project management helps your team get work done. Keep track of everything, from the big picture to the minute details, from the customer contract to the billing.
Designed to Fit Your Own Process
Organize projects around your own processes. Work on tasks and issues using the kanban view, schedule tasks using the gantt chart and control deadlines in the calendar view. Every project may have its own stages, allowing teams to optimize their job.
Easy to Use
Get organized as fast as you can think. The easy-to-use interface takes no time to learn, and every action is instantaneous, so there’s nothing standing between you and your sweet productive flow.
Work Together
Real-time chats, document sharing, email integration
Use the chatter to communicate with your team or customers and share comments and documents on tasks and issues. Integrate discussion fast with the email integration.
Talk to other users or customers with the website live chat feature.
Collaborative Writing
The power of etherpad, inside your tasks
Collaboratively edit the same specifications or meeting minutes right inside the application. The integrated etherpad feature allows several people to work on the same tasks, at the same time.
This is very efficient for scrum meetings, meeting minutes or complex specifications. Every user has their own color and you can replay the whole creation of the content.
Get Work Done
Get alerts on followed events to stay up to date with what interests you. Use instant green/red visual indicators to scan through what has been done and what requires your attention.
Timesheets, Contracts & Invoicing
Projects are automatically integrated with customer contracts, allowing you to invoice based on time & materials and record timesheets easily.
Track Issues
Single out the issues that arise in a project in order to have a better focus on resolving them. Integrate customer interaction on every issue and get accurate reports on your team's performance.
