Project management is imperative today because it ensures what is being delivered, is right, and will actually deliver value against the business opportunity. In Odoo, a project is represented with a tree structure by a set of tasks to be completed, which can be further divided into phases and sub-phases. This structure is very useful to organise the work.

Document Management Integration

Odoo by default has a Document Management System but if you are using others it could be integrated. Our bundle does not include any of them at this stage. You can buy them sepratly. This integration provides for automatic storage of Odoo attachments in OneDrive/Google Drive/DropBox and gives instant access to users via web links. It thus allows users to work with files comfortably in the cloud storage, while the results are fully available in Odoo.

Key Features of Document Management Integration

  • Automatic Synchronization: Files synchronized automatically between OneDrive/Google Drive/DropBox and Odoo. No manual intervention is required.
  • Two-way Synchronization: In this module synchronization is bilateral. Files which are placed over OneDrive/Google Drive/DropBox can be easily accessible through Odoo. Similarly once the attachment is placed over Odoo, it will sync the data and data is available over Onedrive.
  • File Support: Synced attachment in Odoo opens via URL to OneDrive file. Preview of these documents depends on OneDrive/Google Drive/DropBox configurations.
  • Systematic Folder: OneDrive/Google Drive/DropBox is used for business and sharepoint purposes. The files are kept systematically and create a convenient system in the cloud.
  • Availability: This feature is available for Sales Orders and Purchase Order of Odoo.
  • Scheduled Actions: User can define the time interval for this scheduler to run to sync the data between the OneDrive/Google Drive/DropBox and Odoo.
  • Delete Action: If a user removes the attachment from Odoo, it will automatically delete the same attachment from OneDrive/Google Drive/DropBox.
  • Update Attachment: If a user updates an attachment in OneDrive/Google Drive/DropBox, the same attachment will be automatically updated in Odoo.
  • Store Attachments: Users can select where to store attachments, either in cloud or both. Storing attachments in OneDrive/Google Drive/DropBox will be a better practice as it will make Odoo faster because Odoo database storage will not be used for storing attachments.
