FAQPage Schema
How do I trace the UI path to a specific Odoo screen?▼

Tracing the UI path to an Odoo screen involves identifying the menus, actions, and models that lead to it. This navigation mapping uses Odoo's ir.ui.menu and ir.actions.act_window data structures to provide the precise route.

How do I find which Odoo menu opens a specific model?▼

Finding which Odoo menu opens a specific model requires tracing the action linked to that model. By inspecting the ir.ui.menu and ir.actions.act_window records, you can pinpoint the exact menu item that triggers the target model's view.

What is the role of ir.actions.act_window in Odoo navigation?▼

The role of ir.actions.act_window in Odoo navigation is to define the window actions that link menus to specific models and views. It acts as the bridge connecting a user's menu click to the underlying data structure and screen rendering.

Can I identify the navigation path for any Odoo model without manually searching menus?▼

Yes, you can identify the navigation path for an Odoo model without manually searching by querying the ir.ui.menu and ir.actions.act_window data structures. This approach automatically extracts the precise menu and action sequence for the target screen.

What are the limitations of tracing Odoo screen navigation paths via menu data?▼

A limitation of tracing Odoo screen navigation paths via menu data is that it primarily relies on ir.ui.menu and ir.actions.act_window structures. It may not fully capture dynamically generated menus, custom client-side actions, or direct URL accesses that bypass standard menus.
