Hi, I´m new to Odoo and wondering how I can find simple things in the user documentation.  For example, I want to find documentation of how filters work on list forms, how to combine and/or searches, if there are wildcard characters that can be used (for example something like 1* to find account numbers starting with '1'), etc.

Short of coming here and asking each little question, I thought there might be a way to look it up in the online user documentation, but I haven't found where I could query such topics.  Is there a good place to look for answers to such Accounting module user interface questions?

Hi Anisha,

Thanks for responding, but did you understand my question?  It is a question about using the user interface in the Accounting module, not about development.  I was unable to find anything on it in the Odoo v12 documentation, which is why I asked if anyone knew where I should look, or if there was a way to search the user documentation.  It is not a developer question, rather an end-user question.

Thanks for your time,
Eric

Hi,

Actually I thought you want to know how technically filter works/implement for list/form views

Regarding Odoo Default Filter Functionality :

By default Odoo provide 6 ways to filter any data,

is Set : It returns the list of record sets which contains value of that field

is Not Set : It returns the list of record sets which doesn't contains value of that field

is equal to : It returns the list of record sets which has same value as given inside filter. For example: ('type', '=', 'out_invoice')

is not equal to : It returns the list of record sets which hasn't same value as given inside filter. For example: ('type', '!=', 'out_invoice')

contains : It returns the list of record sets which contains the value as given inside filter. For example: ('type', 'ilike', 'out_') .

You can also achieve your requirement "(for example something like 1* to find account numbers starting with '1')" using "contains" filter

doesn't contains : It returns the list of record sets which doesn't contains the value as given inside filter. For example: ('type', not like', 'out_') .

I hope you've got your answer now.

Feel free to ask your queries.
