Use Cases / Context
===================

In Odoo, when you want to customize some fields or views such as hiding
a field, changing the number of line of a list view or make a field
mandatory, you need to have technical knowledge.

This module allows functional people to apply some customizations
without having to code.

Usage
=====

Access to the module
--------------------

As system administrator, I go to *Settings / Technical / User Interface
/ Custom Modifiers*. |Custom Modifier Menu|

Requiered Field
---------------

I create a new custom modifier. |New Modifier|

The modifier is configured to make the field ``default_code`` of a
product required.

After refreshing my screen, I go to the form view of a product.

I notice that the field ``default_code`` is required. |Product form|

Hide selection item
-------------------

The module allows to hide an item (option) of a selection field. |Hide
Selction Item Modifier|

The above example hides the type of address ``Other``. |Contact Form
Witout Selection Item|

Beware that if the hidden option is already selected on a record, it
will look as it was never set. |Contact Form Type not Selected|

Therefore, this feature should only be used to hide options that are
never used.

Force Save
----------

A new option ``Force Save`` is available. |Force Save Modifier|

This modifier may be used along with the ``Readonly`` modifier so that
the field value is saved to the server.

Custom Widget
-------------

It is possible to customize the widget used for a given field. |Custom
Widget| |Task Form with Custom Widget|

Number of lines per page (List Views)
-------------------------------------

A new modifier is added to set the number of lines per page in list
view.

In the following example, we set a limit of 20 sale order lines per page
on a sale order form view.

|Number of lines per Page Modifier| |Sale Order with Limited SOL per
Page|

Advanced Usage
--------------

In the field ``Type``, I can select ``Xpath``. This allows to set a
modifier for a specific view node, such as a button. |Button Modifier|
The example above hides the a button in the form view of a product.

Excluded Groups
---------------

A new field ``Excluded Groups`` is available. |Excluded Groups|

If at least one group of users is selected, the modifier is not applied
for users that are member of any of these groups.

This is useful when rendering an element readonly or invisible only for
a subset of users.

Optional
--------

Since the version **14.0.2.0.1**, it is possible to customize the
optional of a given field on a tree view.

The ``Optional`` modifier takes 2 possible keys:

-  show : To make the field displayed by default in the tree view.
-  hide : To make the field hidden by default in the 3 dots of a tree
   view.

.. important::

   The field must be present by default on the tree view and displayed.

Example:

As system administrator, I go to
``Settings / Technical / User Interface / Custom Modifiers``.

I add the field name (labelled as ``Number`` in Quotation List View) of
the model ``sale.order``.

I select the modifier ``Optional`` and then set the key ``show``.
|Optional Modifier|

I go to the Quotation List View and notice that the field is now shown
by default and that it is possible to hide it. |Optional Modifier
Applied|
