Defining the dashboard view
A new view called dashboard was introduced with Odoo version 12. This is used to display multiple views and the various business KPIs in a single screen.
Getting ready
The dashboard view is part of the Odoo Enterprise edition, so you can't use it with Community edition. If you are using the Enterprise edition, you need to add the dependency of the web_dashboard in the manifest file of your module.
In our example, we will display a few KPIs and a few existing views. We will display the graph and the pivot view in the same screen, so follow the Defining graph views recipe, if you haven't created the pivot and graph views. We will use the ID of these views in the dashboard view.
