Installation

The addon use the daterange method from postgres. This method is supported as of postgresql 9.2

Configuration

For regular usage, see Usage below. This section is to clarify optional functionality to developers.

To configure a model to use the Many2one style search field, make the model inherit from date.range.search.mixin:

class AccountMove(models.Model):
    _name = "account.move"
    _inherit = ["account.move", "date.range.search.mixin"]

This will make a Period field show up in the search view:

By default, the mixin works on the date field. If you want the mixin to work on a field with a different name, you can set a property on your model:

_date_range_search_field = "invoice_date"

Usage

To configure this module, you need to:

• Go to Settings > Technical > Date ranges > Date Range Types where you can create types of date ranges.

  

• Go to Settings > Technical > Date ranges > Date Ranges where you can create date ranges.

  

  It’s also possible to launch a wizard from the ‘Generate Date Ranges’ menu.

  

  The wizard is useful to generate recurring periods. Set an end date or enter the number of ranges to create.

  

• Your date ranges are now available in the search filter for any date or datetime fields

  Date range types are proposed as a filter operator

  

  Once a type is selected, date ranges of this type are porposed as a filter value

  

  And the dates specified into the date range are used to filter your result.

  

• You can configure date range types with default values for the generation wizard on the Generation tab. In the same tab you can also configure date range types for auto-generation. New ranges for types configured for this are generated by a scheduled task that runs daily.
