Module Prototype
================
This module allows the administrator to prototype new features and export them as module.
Functional people can prepare the job for a developer who is left with the logic to implement
in addition to everything the prototype does not export yet.
Installation
============
No installation steps required other than installing the module itself.
Configuration
=============
No configuration required.
Usage
=====
To use this module, you need to:
* install the dependencies of your future module
* customize your instance by adding fields and creating inherited views
* create your menu items and their window actions
* prepare your data and demo data by creating filters
* create your own groups with access rights and record rules
* add your own access rights and record rules to an existing group
Once you have customized your instance properly, you can go to Settings > Modules > Prototype
and create a new prototype:
* fill in the information of your module (enter the name, the description, the logo, etc.)
* in the Depencencies tab, select all the other modules that yours will be depending on
* in the Data & Demo tab, select your filters for data and demo data
* in the Fields tab, select the fields you created or customized
* in the Interface tab, select your menu items and your views
* in the Security tab, select your groups, access rights and record rules
* save and click on export
You will get a zip file containing your module ready to be installed and compliant with the
conventions of the OCA. You can then provide the module to a developer who have to implement
things like default values or onchange methods.
Known issues / Roadmap
======================
* `#104`_ - Include controllers.py and templates.xml from scaffold.
* Attach images to the prototype and export them to be used in the 'images' module manifest.
* Add a Report tab to select and export reports
* Add a Workflow tab to select and export workflows, nodes, transitions, actions
