ODOO'S FUNCTION
In Odoo, drawing items in reports requires users to modify report templates using XML code or to use the limited drag-and-drop features in the report designer. This process is rigid, as field placements are static and require technical knowledge to adjust.
CLUEDOO'S FUNCTION
CLuedoo Drawing Template feature allows users to customize the layout and appearance of Odoo reports in a simple and flexible way, without technical development.
1️⃣ Flexible Layout Management: Users can create a drawing template and modify report layouts directly from the interface. Fields can be easily moved, resized, or rearranged.
2️⃣ Real-Time Adjustments: Any change made to the template is immediately visible in the report preview. This allows users to quickly test different layouts and make adjustments in real time, reducing trial-and-error and configuration delays.
3️⃣ Reusable Across Reports: Once finalized, a drawing template can be attached to any existing Odoo (ODS) report. This enables consistent formatting and design across multiple documents without needing to recreate layouts each time.
