Defining the gantt view

Odoo version 13 added a new gantt view with new options. The gantt view is useful for seeing overall progress and scheduling business processes. In this recipe, we will create a new gantt view and look at its options.

Getting ready

The gantt view is part of the Odoo Enterprise edition, so you can't use it with the Community edition. If you are using the Enterprise edition, you need to add the web_gantt dependency in the manifest file of your module.

In our example, we will continue using the my_project module from the previous recipe. We will create a new gantt view for the tasks of the project.

How to do it...

1. Define a gantt view for the task model as follows:

   <record id="view_project_tasks_gantt" model="ir.ui.view">
       <field name="name">project task gantt</field>
       <field name="model">project.task</field>
      ...
