Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
How can a user add a new "Group by" in a list view? By user I mean someone who is not a programmer or admin. If the admin can do it then how?
For example, when viewing the list of products, how can a user add "Group by manufacturer". This is not currently an option under "Group by".
This is not a question about filters. There is a way to create an advanced filter and save it. I'm asking for the same functionality but for "Group by".
First, collect some information you will need:
Make sure you are in Developer mode (1) and your user is in the group Technical Features (2)
Navigate the menu sequence
Sales -> Customers
From the Debug View# menu, select Edit Search View
In the window that pops up, you can see the definition of the base view, including the <group> tag at the bottom containing Salesperson, Company and Country. (Technically you could edit this view, but the next time you upgraded the module, or upgraded the software, your edits would be overwritten)
Note the name of this view - res.partner.select - and the object is is defined for - res.partner - and close the window.
Now, you need to make your own view that inherits the view you found and adds to it.
Navigate the menu sequence
Settings -> User Interface -> Views
Find any Search view, open it and click Duplicate from the More menu.
Name the view. Something like custom.res.partner.groupbystate for example.
The Object is res.partner and the Inherited View is res.partner.select
Your XML will look like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<filter string="Country" position="after">
<filter string="State" context="{'group_by': 'state_id'}"/>
</filter>
Save your new view
Navigate the menu sequence
Sales -> Customers
Click Advanced Search to see the new Group by option

I wish I could give more up-votes. Terrific answer. Thank you.
Great answer, Ray. It's worth noting that if you want to group by a custom field **on a report** that does not exist in the report model, you will have to add it. See my gist where I add a field to the Group by... options for the Sales Analysis Report. https://gist.github.com/travs-w/f75719c0c33488da874333ac36ff4fe1
Hi,
on the search box on the top right add you word to filter (the name of one of field displayed as a column in the tree or of table), you will have a list which propose you to do a search or a filter, choose filter, filter is done in the view, now you just have to save your filter to add it in the list, just click on the top right of the search box, on the right of "x" ( x is the button to delete your search), in section "personnal filter, give the name of filter and save just for you or for all users).
Bye
"Filter" and "Group by" are different. This is a question about "Group by".
