Dokumente

Mit Odoo Dokumente können Sie Dateien in Odoo speichern, anzeigen und verwalten.

Konfiguration

By going to Documents ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings, you can enable the centralization of files attached to a specific area of your activity. For example, by ticking Human Resources, your HR documents are automatically available in the HR workspace, while documents related to Payroll are automatically available in the Payroll sub-workspace. You can change the default workspace using the dropdown menu and edit its properties by clicking the (Internal link) icon.

Bemerkung

  • Wenn Sie die Zentralisierung Ihrer Buchhaltungsdateien und -dokumente aktivieren, müssen Sie auf Journale klicken und jedes Journal unabhängig definieren, um eine automatische Synchronisierung zu ermöglichen.

    Zentralisierung von Dateien aktivieren, die zu Ihrer Buchhaltung gehören.
  • Wenn Sie einen neuen Arbeitsbereich auswählen, werden bestehende Dokumente nicht verschoben. Nur neu erstellte Dokumente sind im neuen Arbeitsbereich zu finden.

Arbeitsbereiche

Workspaces are hierarchical folders having their own set of tags and actions. Default workspaces exist, but you can create your own by going to Documents ‣ Configuration ‣ Workspaces and clicking New. On the new page, fill in the following information:

  • Name

  • Parent Workspace: if you want to create a sub-workspace, select its Parent Workspace.

Three tabs are available: Tags, Access Rights, and Description.

Stichwörter

Stichwörter werden in Arbeitsbereichen verwendet, um eine Unterscheidungsebene zwischen Dokumenten zu schaffen. Sie sind nach Kategorien geordnet und können mit Filtern sortiert werden.

From the Tags tab, click Add a line, create the Tag Category, and Name your tags.

Bemerkung

  • Die Stichwörter des übergeordneten Arbeitsbereichs werden automatisch auf die untergeordneten übertragen.

  • Tags can be created and modified by going to Documents ‣ Configuration ‣ Tags;

  • Tags can also be created or edited by clicking the (gear) icon on the left panel;

  • An email alias can be used to automatically send received documents to a specific workspace based on the tag assigned.

Zugriffsrechte

To manage your workspace access rights, go to the Access Rights tab. You can add Write Groups that can view, create, and edit the workspace’s documents. You can also add Read Groups that only view the workspace’s documents.

Tipp

Enable Own Documents Only to limit Read Groups and Write Groups to the documents of which they are owner.

Beschreibung

You can add descriptive information to your workspace by going to the Description tab.

Bemerkung

Workspaces can also be created and edited by clicking the (gear) icon on the left panel.

Dokumentenmanagement

When selecting or opening a document, the right panel displays different options, including, for example:

  • (Download);

  • (Share this selection): a share URL is copied to your clipboard;

  • (Replace): select a new file to replace the existing one. Scroll down to the bottom of the right panel to see the History and restore, download, or delete the document;

  • (Lock);

  • (Split);

  • (Open chatter).

To modify the name of your file, edit the Name field. Click the (Move to trash) icon to delete your document.

Bemerkung

Items moved to the trash are kept for 30 days in the Trash workspace, after which they are permanently deleted.

A Contact or an Owner can be assigned. You can also modify the related Workspace and add Tags.

Bemerkung

  • The Contact is a person related to the document who only has read access rights to the document, e.g., an existing supplier in your database;

  • The creator of a document is automatically assigned as its Owner and is granted full access rights to it. To replace the owner of a document, select the required user from the dropdown list in the Owner field.

Tipp

An employee must be a user and the owner of a document to view it in My Profile.

Außerdem sind unten im rechten Fenster verschiedene Aktionen <documents/workflow-actions> verfügbar, je nachdem, in welchem Arbeitsbereich Ihr Dokument gespeichert ist.

Select the PDF you want to split, and click the (scissors) icon. A new view displays all the pages of the document.

Share a document

To generate a share link to a document, select the document and click the Share button.

In the pop-up, a share URL you can Copy is displayed. You can Name your share link and set a validity date by filling in the Valid Until field. If you own more than one site, select the Website you want so the share link reflects the right domain name.

Bemerkung

  • The links added to your workspace using the Link option cannot be shared and are, therefore, excluded.

  • When tags are applied to a shared workspace, users can exclusively access the documents associated with those tags.

Files upload

Toggle the Allow upload switch to allow users to upload files to your workspace.

Tick the Upload by Email checkbox to enable users to upload documents sent by email in the workspace.

Bemerkung

  • You need to have an alias domain set to be able to upload documents by email. If it isn’t existing yet, click Choose or Configure Email Servers and create an alias domain.

  • By default, the Document Owner is the person who uploads a file to a workspace, but you can select another user. You can also set a Contact, usually an external person, such as a partner.

  • Enable Create a new activity to automatically create an activity when a document is uploaded. Select the Activity type from the dropdown list and set the Due Date In field. You can also add a Summary and a Responsible person assigned to the activity.

Tipp

Go to Configuration ‣ Share & Emails to see and manage your share links. Select a line and click Delete to disable the URL. People who have received this link will no longer be able to access the document(s) or workspace.

Arbeitsablaufsaktionen

Workflow actions help manage documents and overall business operations. These are automated actions that can be created and customized for each workspace. With a single click you can, for example, create, move, sign, add tags to a document, and process bills.

When a document meets the set criteria, these workflow actions appear on the right panel.

Arbeitsablaufsaktionen erstellen

To update an existing workflow action or create a new one, go to Documents ‣ Configuration ‣ Actions and click New.

Bemerkung

Eine Aktion gilt für alle untergeordneten Arbeitsbereiche unter dem zugehörigen Arbeitsbereich, den Sie ausgewählt haben.

Bedingungen festlegen

Define the Action Name and then set the conditions that trigger the appearance of the action button on the right-side panel when selecting a file.

Es gibt drei einfache Arten von Bedingungen, die Sie festlegen können:

  1. Tags: you can use the Contains and Does not contain conditions, meaning the files must have or must not have the tags set here;

  2. Contact: the files must be associated with the contact set here;

  3. Besitzer: Die Dateien müssen mit dem hier eingestellten Besitzer verbunden sein.

Tipp

If you do not set any conditions, the action button appears for all files inside the selected workspace.

Erweiterter Bedingungstyp: Bereich

Wichtig

Es wird empfohlen, einige Kenntnisse in der Odoo-Entwicklung zu haben, um Bereichsfilter richtig zu konfigurieren.

The developer mode needs to be activated to enable the Domain Condition type. Once done, click New Rule.

To create a rule, you typically select a field, an operator, and a value. For example, if you want to add a workflow action to all the PDF files inside a workspace, set the field to Mime Type, the operator to contains, and the pdf value.
