Odoo 12 Development Essentials - Fourth Edition

Activity views

The activity view type is a built-in scheduled activity summary board, to help users visualize activity tasks. It's provided by the mail addon module, so it needs to be installed to have this view type available.

To make it available, just add the activity view type to the view list in the Window Action view_mode attribute. The actual view definition will be automatically generated. We can still add it manually, but the only option we have is to change the string attribute, but it's not used in the UI.

For reference, the activity view definition looks like this:

<activity string="Activities"/>
