Installation

To install this module, you need to:

But this module does nothing for the end user by itself, so if you have it installed it’s probably because there is another module that depends on it.

Usage

This module is intended as a base engine for other modules to use it, so no direct result if you are a user.

If you are a developer

To learn from an example, just check the demo report on GitHub for the model res.company or check it in interface from companies views.

To develop with this module, you need to:

  • Create a module.

  • Make it depend on this one.

  • Follow instructions to create reports having in mind that the report_type field in your ir.actions.report record must be qweb-xml.

In case you want to create a custom report, the instructions remain the same as for HTML reports, and the method that you must override is also called _get_report_values, even when this time you are creating a XML report.

You can make your custom report inherit report.report_xml.abstract, name it in such way report.<module.report_name>. Also you can add a XSD file for report validation into xsd_schema field of your report (check report definition) and have XSD automatic checking for free.

You can customize rendering process and validation way via changing logic of generate_report and validate_report methods in your report class.

You can visit http://<server-address>/report/xml/<module.report_name>/<ids> to see your XML report online as a web page.
