 Features in Odoo 17

The Odoo Experience event is held every year and a new update is introduced to the community. Just like Odoo 16 was launched last year, the Odoo Experience 2023 is expected to introduce the new Odoo 17 version.

This year Odoo Event 2023 will be held in Belgium between the 8th and 10th of November, 2023. Here are a few things to expect from Odoo 17 updates!

Odoo Progressive Web App

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Odoo Progressive Web App (PWA) features were emerging but might not have been fully integrated into the platform. However, if Odoo has since implemented PWA capabilities, here are some general shortcuts to access PWAs on various devices:

• Desktop Browsers:
• Open your preferred web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
• Enter the URL of your Odoo instance.
• If Odoo has a PWA implemented, it might prompt you to install it. Follow the on-screen instructions.
• Mobile Browsers:
• Open the browser on your mobile device.
• Visit the Odoo website.
• If Odoo has implemented PWA functionality, you might see an “Add to Home Screen” or similar option in your browser’s menu. This will create a shortcut on your home screen.
• Android:
• If Odoo has a PWA, it may prompt you to install it when you visit the site.
• Alternatively, you can manually install a PWA on Android:
• Open the Chrome browser.
• Visit the Odoo website.
• Tap the three-dot menu icon in the upper-right corner.
• Select “Add to Home screen.”
• iOS (Safari):
• On iOS, the process for installing PWAs is a bit different due to Apple’s policies.
• Visit the Odoo website in Safari.
• Tap the “Share” button (it looks like a square with an arrow pointing up).
• Scroll down and select “Add to Home Screen.”
• Follow the prompts to create a shortcut.

Please note that the availability of PWA features and the specific steps to create shortcuts can vary depending on the version of Odoo you are using and whether they have fully integrated PWA functionality into their platform

Quick selection of records using keyboard in odoo17

To check if this feature exists in Odoo 17 or if there are third-party modules available, I recommend visiting the official Odoo documentation, exploring the Odoo app store, or checking with the Odoo community and forums for updates and add-ons that offer keyboard shortcuts for quick record selection.

Additionally, you can consider reaching out to Odoo support or consulting with Odoo experts or developers who may be able to assist you in implementing custom keyboard shortcuts for record selection if it is not already available in the default Odoo 17 interface.

Advance search view in Odoo17

Here are the general steps for using an advanced search view in Odoo:

• Open the Module: First, access the module or application for which you want to perform an advanced search. For example, you might be in the “Sales,” “Inventory,” “Contacts,” or any other relevant module.
• Locate the Search Icon or Option: Look for the search icon or option within the module’s interface. This is typically represented by a magnifying glass or a search bar.
• Activate the Advanced Search View: In most cases, you can switch to the advanced search view by clicking on an option like “Advanced Search” or “Custom Search.” This will open a more comprehensive search interface.
• Define Search Criteria: In the advanced search view, you can define complex search criteria. This may include specifying filters based on various fields, date ranges, categories, and more. You can also use logical operators like AND, OR, and NOT to combine criteria.
• Save Custom Filters (Optional): Some versions of Odoo allow you to save custom filters or searches for quick access later. This can be useful if you frequently perform specific searches.
• Execute the Search: After defining your search criteria, click the “Search” or “Apply” button to execute the search. Odoo will display the records that match your specified criteria.
• Refine and Modify: You can further refine your search results by modifying the criteria or applying additional filters as needed.
• Export or Perform Actions: Depending on the module and your permissions, you may have options to export search results, perform bulk actions, or access detailed information about the records.
