Problem

Odoo provides the confirm attribute for button elements, which serves as a reminder to users when performing actions that could harm the system or data, which may be irrecoverable. However, this attribute behaves similarly to other common confirmation dialogs, making it easy for users to overlook the prompt and unintentionally click confirm out of habit without careful consideration.

Solution and Features

  • This application adds the safe_confirm attribute to button elements, providing an additional layer of protection compared to the confirm attribute. The system requires users to check a checkbox containing a clear warning message before proceeding, ensuring they fully understand the impact of the action they are about to take.

Technical Description:

  • Extends the button element with the safe_confirm attribute.
  • Displays a confirmation dialog with a mandatory checkbox.
  • Allows customization of warning messages for each button.
  • Example
<button name="action_clear_data" type="object" string="Clear Data"
    safe_confirm="Odoo will connect and clear all device data (include: user, attendance report, finger database). Do you want to proceed?"
    help="Clear all data from the device" groups="hr_attendance.group_hr_attendance_manager" />

Benefits

  1. Reduce User Error Risks: By requiring users to check a confirmation checkbox, safe_confirm helps prevent careless actions due to habitually clicking confirm without carefully reading the prompt.
  2. Enhance User Awareness and Caution: Users are forced to review the warning message carefully before proceeding, improving their awareness of the impact of important actions.
  3. High Flexibility for Businesses: Businesses can apply safe_confirm to critical actions, allowing them to have greater control and protect system data.

Who Should Use This Module

  • This module enhances the system data protection by flexibly warning users, so it is suitable for software developers when they want to use this safe_confirm attribute for their system.
