ONLYOFFICE Templates module

You can use a premade template available on the main page of the module.

To create a form:

1. It is recommended to switch to the developer mode.
   • Go to the Settings.
   • Open the General Settings tab.
   • Scroll to the Developer tools.
   • Click the Activate the developer mode menu option.
2. Open the Home Menu and choose the ONLYOFFICE Templates option.
3. Click the New button to create a new form.
4. Enter the Template Name.
5. Enter the Odoo model in the Select Model field.
   
   • To learn the model name, open the required module.
   • Go to any entry that has an ONLYOFFICE Send & Print button.
   • Look at the page URL. The model-xxx is the name of the Odoo model that you need for the Select Model field. Paste it into this field and press Enter.
     
   • You can also upload en existing template by clicking the Upload your file button.
6. Each field in each module has a question mark beside it. The information there is necessary for filling in the fields.
   

   If a field does not have a question mark, try to temporarily delete its contents. The field name might appear instead. These kinds of names can also be found in the root section on the left panel while editing a form.

7. Searching in the ONLYOFFICE Templates connector requires information from the fields Field and Module.
8. If a field has a one2many/many2many/many2one relation, the subsection will have a corresponding name.

   

9. If the Model field contains a name that does not coincide with the one given in the URL (e.g., model-account.move in the URL and account.move.line in the Model field), look for it in the subsection.

   If it is a one2many/many2many/many2one relation, the subsection key will have the same name as the Field field. For example, if it is a partner_id, the key will have the same name.

10. Please note that if the field’s model does not coincide with the one in the URL, the section key will have the same name as the Model field.
11. To add a dataset to a form,
    • create a table in the form that will have the same columns as the fields’ names of the dataset;
    • enter the information given in the Odoo question marks into the corresponding fields;
    • the rest of the table will be filled up automatically during the page printing.

      As of yet, no HTML elements can be inserted into a form.

12. To manage access rights,
    • go to the user profile;
    • choose whether they are a User or an Administrator:
      • User can only print and view templates.
      • Administrator can create, edit, view, delete, and print templates.
    • all users have the User access right by default.
