If you are a user

You will be able to download XML reports from the Print menu found on form and list views.

If you are a developer

To learn from an example, just check the sample module.

To develop with this module, you need to:

• Create a module.
• Make it depend on this one.
• Follow instructions to create reports having in mind that the report_type field in your ir.actions.report.xml record must be qweb-xml.

In case you want to create a custom report, the instructions remain the same as for HTML reports, and the method that you must override is also called render_html, even when this time you are creating a XML report.

You can make your custom report inherit report_xml.xsd_checked_report, name it like your XML <template> id prepended by report., add a xsd() method that returns a XSD in a string, and have XSD automatic checking for free.

You can visit http://<server-address>/report/xml/<module.report_name>/<ids> to see your XML report online as a web page.
