[IMP] Calendar: Outlook calendar configuration

In odoo, as we suggest everyone to follow an alphebetic order.

The translator(`_`), ASCII is 95 and `a` ASCII value is 97
which '_' < 'a', the translator should be defined first in the
import before the `api` not at the end of the import

This commits adds an example to import static class `Command`
with a Capital alphabet with a ASCII value of `C` as 67
which will be before than the `_`
'C' < '_' < 'a'

This order of import should be followed while the import

closes odoo/documentation#11987

+Database management
+===================
 
 These guides provide instructions on how to install, maintain and upgrade Odoo databases.
 
 .. seealso::
-    :doc:`History of Versions <administration/maintain/supported_versions>`
+    :doc:`History of Versions <administration/supported_versions>`
+
+Installation
+============
+
+Depending on the intended use case, there are multiple ways to install Odoo - or not install it at
+all.
+
+- :doc:`Online <administration/odoo_online>` is the easiest way to use Odoo in production or to try it.
+
+- :doc:`Packaged installers <administration/on_premise/packages>` are suitable for testing Odoo and
+  developing modules. They can be used for long-term production with additional deployment and
+  maintenance work.
+
+- :doc:`Source install <administration/on_premise/source>` provides greater flexibility, as it
+  allows, for example, running multiple Odoo versions on the same system. It is adequate to develop
+  modules and can be used as a base for production deployment.
+
+- A `Docker <https://hub.docker.com/_/odoo/>`_ base image is available for development or
+  deployment.
+
+.. _install/editions:
+
+Editions
+========
+
+There are two different editions.
+
+**Odoo Community** is the free and open-source version of the software, licensed under the `GNU
+LGPLv3 <https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/master/LICENSE>`_. It is the core upon which Odoo
+Enterprise is built.
+
+**Odoo Enterprise** is the shared source version of the software, giving access to more
+functionalities, including functional support, upgrades, and hosting. `Pricing
+<https://www.odoo.com/pricing-plan>`_ starts from one app free.
+
+.. tip::
+   :doc:`Switch from Community to Enterprise <administration/on_premise/community_to_enterprise>` at
+   any time (except for the source install).

+Change hosting solution
+=======================
+
+The instructions to change the hosting type of a database depend on the current solution used and to
+which solution the database should be moved.
+
+Transferring an on-premise database
+===================================
+
+To Odoo Online
+--------------
+
+.. important::
+   - Odoo Online is *not* compatible with **non-standard apps**.
+   - The database's current version must be :doc:`supported <supported_versions>`.
+

+Transferring an Odoo Online database
+====================================
+
+.. important::
+   Odoo Online's :ref:`intermediary versions <supported_versions>` are not supported by Odoo.sh or
+   on-premise. Therefore, if the database to transfer is running an intermediary version, it must be
+   upgraded first to the next :ref:`major version <supported_versions>`, waiting for its release if
+   necessary.
+
+   .. example::
+      Transferring an online database running on Odoo 16.3 would require first upgrading it to Odoo
+      17.0.
+
+   .. tip::
+      Click the gear icon (:guilabel:`⚙`) next to the database name on the `Odoo Online database
+      manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases/>`_ to display its version number.
+
+   .. warning::
+      If there is an active Odoo subscription linked to the database being migrated, reach out to
+      the Customer Service Manager or `submit a support ticket <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_  to
+      complete the subscription transfer.
+
+To on-premise
+-------------
+
+#. Sign in to `the Odoo Online database manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases/>`_ and click the
+   gear icon (:guilabel:`⚙`) next to the database name to :guilabel:`Download` a backup. If the
+   download fails due to the file being too large, `contact Odoo support
+   <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_.
+#. Restore the database from the database manager on your local server using the backup.
+
+To Odoo.sh

+
+Transferring an Odoo.sh database
+================================
+
+To Odoo Online
+--------------
+
+.. important::
+   Odoo Online is *not* compatible with **non-standard apps**.
+
+#. Uninstall all **non-standard apps** in a staging build before doing it in the production build.
+#. `Create a support ticket <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_ including the following:
+
+   - your **subscription number**,
+   - the **URL** you want to use for the database (e.g., `company.odoo.com`),
+   - which **branch** should be migrated,
+   - in which **region** you want the database to be hosted (Americas, Europe, or Asia),
+   - which user(s) will be the **administrator(s)**, and
+   - **when** (and in which timezone) you want the database to be up and running.
+
+#. Odoo then makes sure the database is compatible before putting it online. In case of technical
+   issues during the process, Odoo might contact you.
+
+.. note::
+   - If you have time constraints, `submit a support ticket <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_ as soon as
+     possible to schedule the transfer.
+   - Select the **region** closest to most of your users to reduce latency.
+   - Future **administrator(s)** must have an Odoo.com account.
+   - The **date and time** you want the database to be up and running are helpful to organize the
+     switch from the Odoo.sh server to the Odoo Online servers.
+   - Databases are **not reachable** during their migration.
+
+To on-premise
+-------------
+
+#. Download a :ref:`backup of your Odoo.sh production database <odoo_sh_branches_backups>`.
+#. Restore the database from the database manager on your local server using the backup.

-Domain names
-============
-
-A **domain name** works as an address for your website. It makes the Internet much more accessible
-as it allows users to type a meaningful web address, such as ``www.odoo.com``, rather than its
-server's IP address with a series of numbers.
-
-You can use a custom domain name to access your Odoo database and websites:
-
-- By :ref:`registering a free domain name with Odoo <domain-name/odoo-register>` (for Odoo Online
-  databases)
-- By :ref:`configuring a custom domain that you already own <domain-name/existing>`.
-
-.. note::
-   Odoo Online and Odoo.sh databases, including their websites, use by default a subdomain of
-   ``odoo.com`` for both the URL and the emails (e.g., ``https://example.odoo.com``).
-
-.. important::
-   Odoo offers a :ref:`free custom domain name <domain-name/odoo-register>` to all Odoo Online
-   databases for one year. Visitors can then access your website with an address such as
-   ``www.example.com`` rather than the default ``example.odoo.com``.

-
-.. _domain-name/about:
-
-About domain names
-==================
-
-Having a **good domain name** is as important to your branding as the name of your business or
-organization as it is the first thing your visitors will notice. We recommend you keep them *simple,
-short, easy to remember and spell*.
-
-A **subdomain** is a domain that is a part of another domain. It often refers to the additional part
-that comes before the main domain name. Traditionally, most websites use the ``www.`` subdomain,
-but any string of letters can be used as well. You can use subdomains to direct your visitors to
-other websites than your main website or to specific pages (e.g., ``experience.odoo.com`` points to
-a specific page.)
-
-All domain names are referenced in the **Domain Name System**, or **DNS**, which works as a giant
-directory for the Internet. There are many DNS servers, so any modification to the DNS can take up
-to 72 hours to propagate worldwide on all servers.
-
-.. _domain-name/indexing:
-
-Indexing of domain names by search engines
-------------------------------------------
-
-Search engines, such as Google and Bing, rely on web crawlers (:dfn:`robots that explore and analyze
-the web`) to index all websites and their related domain names. These crawlers discover new URLs
-thanks to links on known web pages. As a result, search engines should index domain names
-automatically after a while, as long as their URLs are mentioned elsewhere on the Internet.
-
-Improving the appearance and positioning of web pages on search engines is a practice named "Search
-Engine Optimization" (SEO).
-
-.. tip::
-   Adding relevant content, optimizing metadata, and building high-quality backlinks can all help
-   improve a website's search engine visibility.
-
-Some search engines provide tools for web admins, such as
-`Google Search Console <https://search.google.com/search-console>`_ and
-`Bing Webmaster Tools <https://www.bing.com/webmasters>`_, to help you analyze and improve your
-page ranking. To use these services, you must prove that you are the owner of your domain name. One
-way to verify the ownership of your domain name is by adding a DNS record. You can do this for
-:ref:`domain names registered with Odoo <domain-name/odoo-manage>` and for domain names managed by
-other providers.
-
-.. seealso::
-   - :doc:`/applications/websites/website/pages/seo`

-
-.. _domain-name/odoo-register:
-
-Register a free domain name with Odoo
-=====================================
-
-You can register a domain name for your Odoo Online database directly from Odoo Website or your
-database manager.
-
-.. important::
-   - Your domain name is **free for one year** if you register it with Odoo!
-   - The domain name is registered with `Gandi <https://www.gandi.net/>`_, the domain name
-     registrar.
-   - You are the owner of the domain name and can use it for other purposes.
-   - Odoo manages payment and technical support for you.
-   - This offer doesn't include any mailbox. However, you can :ref:`configure your MX records
-     <domain-name/odoo-manage>` to use your own email server or solution such as Google Workspace.
-
-To do so, go to :menuselection:`Website --> Domain Name`. Alternatively, open your `database manager
-<https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_, click on the :guilabel:`settings` button next to your
-database, then on :guilabel:`Domain names`.
-
-.. image:: domain_names/register-menu.png
-   :align: center

-   :alt: The search of the domain name example.com shows which associated domains are available.
-
-Next, fill in the form with your information to become the domain name owner.
-
-Your domain name is directly linked to your database, but you still have to :ref:`map your domain
-name with your website <domain-name/website-map>`.
-
-.. note::
-   - Free domain names are also available for free Odoo Online databases (if you installed one app
-     only, for example). In this case, Odoo reviews your request and your website to avoid abuse.

-
-.. _domain-name/existing:
-
-Configure your existing domain name
-===================================
-
-If you already own a domain name, you can use it to point to your website.
-
-To avoid any issue with the :ref:`SSL certificate validation <domain-name/ssl>`, we highly recommend
-that you proceed with the following actions in this order:
-
-#. :ref:`Add a CNAME record <domain-name/cname>` on your domain name's DNS zone.
-#. :ref:`Map your domain name with your Odoo database <domain-name/db-map>`.
-#. :ref:`Map your domain name with your Odoo website <domain-name/website-map>`.
-
-.. _domain-name/cname:
-
-Add a CNAME record
-------------------
-
-A **CNAME record** is a type of DNS record that points to the domain of another website rather than
-directly to an IP address.
-
-You need a CNAME record that points to your Odoo database. The requirements are detailed in your
-database manager.
-
-.. tabs::
-
-   .. group-tab:: Odoo Online
-
-      The target address is the current address of your database, as defined at its creation (e.g.,
-      ``example.odoo.com``)
-
-   .. group-tab:: Odoo.sh
-
-      Your project's main address is defined in :menuselection:`Settings --> Project Name`.
-
-      If you want to target a specific branch (production, staging or development), go to
-      :menuselection:`Branches --> select your branch --> Settings --> Custom domains`, and click on
-      :guilabel:`How to set up my domain?`. A message indicates which address your CNAME record
-      should target.
-
-#. Open your domain name's manager dashboard.
-#. Open the **DNS zone** management page for the domain name you want to configure.
-#. Create a **CNAME record** pointing to the address of your database.
-
-While Odoo suggests creating a CNAME record for your ``www.`` subdomain (``www.example.com``), you
-can of course use any domain name of your choice, with any subdomain (e.g.,
-``anything.example.com``).
-
-.. example::
-   You own the domain name ``example.com``, and you have an Odoo Online database at the address
-   ``example.odoo.com``. You want to access your Odoo database primarily with the domain
-   ``www.example.com`` but also with the :ref:`naked domain <domain-name/naked-domain>`
-   ``example.com``.
-
-   To do so, you create a CNAME record for the ``www`` subdomain, with ``example.odoo.com`` as the
-   target. The DNS zone manager generates the following rule and adds it to your DNS zone: ``www IN
-   CNAME example.odoo.com.``
-
-   You also create a redirection from ``example.com`` to ``wwww.example.com``.
-
-   Your new DNS records are propagated to all DNS servers.
-
-.. note::
-   Here are some specific guidelines to create a CNAME record:

-   - `Google Domains <https://support.google.com/domains/answer/3290350?hl=en>`_
-
-.. _domain-name/naked-domain:
-
-Naked domain
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-A **naked domain** is a domain name that doesn't have any subdomain at the beginning of the address
-(e.g., ``odoo.com`` instead of ``www.odoo.com``).
-
-You may want your naked domain to redirect to your website as some visitors may not type the full
-domain name to access your website.
-
-#. Open your domain name's manager dashboard.
-#. Create a **redirection** from the naked domain (``example.com``) to your main domain name
-   (``www.example.com``).
-
-.. note::
-   Depending on your domain name registrar, this redirection may be already pre-configured.
-
-.. _domain-name/db-map:
-
-Map your domain name with your Odoo database
---------------------------------------------
-
-.. tabs::
-
-   .. group-tab:: Odoo Online
-
-      Open your `database manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_, click on the
-      :guilabel:`settings` button next to your database, on :guilabel:`Domain names`, and then on
-      :guilabel:`Use my own domain` at the bottom of the right column.
-
-      Type the domain name you want to add to this database, then click on :guilabel:`Verify` to
-      check if the CNAME record is correctly configured. Once done, click on :guilabel:`I confirm,
-      it's done`.

-      .. seealso::
-         - :ref:`Odoo.sh branches: settings tab <odoosh-gettingstarted-branches-tabs-settings>`
-
-.. warning::
-   Make sure to :ref:`add a CNAME record <domain-name/cname>` to your domain name's DNS **before**
-   mapping your domain name with your Odoo database.
-
-   Failing to do so may impede the validation of the :ref:`SSL certificate <domain-name/ssl>` and
-   would result in a *certificate name mismatch* error. This is often displayed by web browsers as a
-   warning such as *"Your connection is not private"*.
-
-   If this is the case and you have added the domain name to your database's settings less than five
-   days ago, wait 24 hours as the validation may still happen. Otherwise, please `submit a support
-   ticket <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_ including screenshots of your CNAME records.
-
-.. _domain-name/ssl:
-
-SSL encryption (HTTPS protocol)
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-**SSL encryption** is an encryption-based Internet security protocol. It allows your visitors to
-navigate your website through a secure connection, which appears as an ``https://`` protocol at the
-beginning of your web address, rather than a non-secure ``http://`` protocol.
-
-Odoo generates a separate SSL certificate for each domain :ref:`mapped in the database manager
-<domain-name/db-map>`, using integration with `Let's Encrypt Certificate Authority and ACME protocol
-<https://letsencrypt.org/how-it-works/>`_.
-
-.. note::
-   - The certificate generation may take up to 24h.
-   - Several attempts to validate your certificate are made during the five days following the
-     moment you add your domain name in your database's settings.
-   - If you already use another service, you can keep using it or simply change for Odoo.
-
-.. _domain-name/web-base-url:
-
-Web base URL of a database
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. note::
-   If you have Odoo Website, you can disregard this part and directly :ref:`map your domain name
-   with your website <domain-name/website-map>`.
-
-The **web base URL** of a database, or **root URL** affects your main website address and all the
-links sent to your customers (e.g., quotations, portal links, etc.).
-
-To configure it, access your Odoo database with your custom address, then log in as an administrator
-of your database (any user in the *Settings* group) from the login screen.
-
-.. warning::
-   Connecting to your database with the original Odoo subdomain address (e.g., ``example.odoo.com``
-   also updates the web base URL of your database. See below to prevent these automatic updates.
-
-Alternatively, you can do it manually. To do so, activate the :ref:`developer mode
-<developer-mode>`, then go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Technical --> System Parameters`.
-
-Find the key called ``web.base.url`` (or create it if it does not exist) and enter the full address
-of your website as value, such as ``https://www.example.com``.
-
-.. note::
-   The URL must include the protocol ``https://`` (or ``http://``) and must not end with a slash
-   (``/``).
-
-To prevent the automatic update of the web base URL when an administrator logs in the database, you
-can create the following System Parameter:
-
-- key: ``web.base.url.freeze``
-- value: ``True``
-
-.. _domain-name/website-map:
-
-Map your domain name with your website
-======================================
-
-Mapping your domain name to your website isn't the same as mapping it with your database:
-
-- It defines your domain name as the main one for your website, helping search engines to index your
-  website properly.
-- It defines your domain name as the base URL for your database, including the portal links sent by
-  email to your customers.
-- If you have multiple websites, it maps your domain name with the appropriate website.
-
-Go to :menuselection:`Website --> Configuration --> Settings --> Website Info`. If you have multiple
-websites, select the one you want to configure.
-
-In the :guilabel:`Domain` field, fill in the web address of your website (e.g.,
-``https://www.example.com``) and click on :guilabel:`Save`.
-
-.. image:: domain_names/website-settings.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Configuring https://www.example.com as the Domain of the website
-
-.. warning::
-   Mapping your domain name with your Odoo website prevents Google from indexing both your custom
-   domain name ``www.example.com`` and your original odoo database address ``example.odoo.com``.
-
-   If both addresses are already indexed, it may take some time before Google removes the indexation
-   of the second address. You may also try using the `Google Search Console
-   <https://search.google.com/search-console>`_ to fix this.
-
-.. note::
-   If you have multiple websites and companies on your database, make sure that you select the
-   right :guilabel:`Company` in the website settings, next to the :guilabel:`Domain` settings. Doing
-   so indicates Odoo which URL to use as the :ref:`base URL <domain-name/web-base-url>` according to
-   the company in use.

-Solutions
-~~~~~~~~~
-
-* Do you have a valid Enterprise subscription?
-
-  * Check if your subscription details get the tag "In Progress" on
-    your `Odoo Account
-    <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`__ or with your Account Manager
-
-* Have you already linked a database with your subscription reference?
-
-  * You can link only one database per subscription.
-    (Need a test or a development database? `Find a partner
-    <https://www.odoo.com/partners>`__)
-
-  * You can unlink the old database yourself on your `Odoo Contract
-    <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`__ with the button "Unlink database"
-
-    .. image:: on_premise/unlink_single_db.png
-       :align: center
-
-    A confirmation message will appear; make sure this is the correct database as
-    it will be deactivated shortly:
-
-    .. image:: on_premise/unlink_confirm_enterprise_edition.png
-       :align: center
-
-* Do you have the updated version of Odoo 9?
-
-  * From July 2016 onward, Odoo 9 now automatically change the uuid of a
-    duplicated database; a manual operation is no longer required.
-
-  * If it's not the case, you may have multiple databases sharing the same
-    UUID. Please check on your `Odoo Contract
-    <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`__, a short message will appear
-    specifying which database is problematic:
-
-    .. image:: on_premise/unlink_db_name_collision.png
-       :align: center
-
-    In this case, you need to change the UUID on your test databases to solve this
-    issue. You will find more information about this in :ref:`this section <duplicate_premise>`.
-
-    For your information, we identify database with UUID. Therefore, each database
-    should have a distinct UUID to ensure that registration and invoicing proceed
-    effortlessly for your and for us.
-
-* Check your network and firewall settings
-
-  * The Update notification must be able to reach Odoo's subscription
-    validation servers. In other words, make sure that the Odoo server is able
-    to open outgoing connections towards:
-
-      * services.odoo.com on port 443 (or 80)
-      * services.openerp.com on port 443 (or 80) for older deployments
-
-  * Once you activated your database, you must keep these ports open, as the
-    Update notification runs once a week.

-Error message due to too many users
------------------------------------
-
-If you have more users in your local database than provisionned in your
-Odoo Enterprise subscription, you may encounter this message:
-
-.. image:: on_premise/add_more_users.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: This database will expire in X days, you have more users than your subscription allows
-
-
-When the message appears you have 30 days before the expiration.
-The countdown is updated everyday.
-
-Solutions
-~~~~~~~~~
-
-- **Add more users** on your subscription: follow the link and Validate
-  the upsell quotation and pay for the extra users.
-- **Deactivate users** as explained in this `documentation <documentation.html#deactivating-users>`_
-  and **Reject** the upsell quotation.
-
-Once your database has the correct number of users, the expiration message
-will disappear automatically after a few days, when the next verification occurs.
-We understand that it can be a bit frightening to see the countdown,
-so you can :ref:`force an Update Notification <force_ping>`  to make the message disappear
-right away.

+Odoo Online
+===========
+
+`Odoo Online <https://www.odoo.com/trial>`_ provides private databases which are fully managed and
+hosted by Odoo. It can be used for long-term production or to test Odoo thoroughly, including
+customizations that don't require code.
+
+.. note::
+   Odoo Online is incompatible with custom modules or the Odoo App Store.
+
+Odoo Online databases are accessed using any web browser and do not require a local installation.
+
+To quickly try out Odoo, shared `demo <https://demo.odoo.com>`_ instances are available. No
+registration is required, but each instance only lives for a few hours.
+
+Database management
+===================
+
+To manage a database, go to the `database manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_ and sign in
+as the database administrator.
+
+All the main database management options are available by clicking the database name, except the
+upgrade option, which can be accessed by clicking the **arrow in a circle** icon next to the
+database name. It is only displayed if an upgrade is available.

+.. _ip-address-change:
+
+How can I automate tasks when an IP address change occurs?
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+**Odoo.sh notifies project administrators of IP address changes.**
+Additionally, when the IP address of a production instance changes, an HTTP `GET` request is made
+to the path `/_odoo.sh/ip-change` with the new IP address included as a query string parameter
+(`new`), along with the previous IP address as an additional parameter (`old`).
+
+This mechanism allows custom actions to be applied in response to the IP address change
+(e.g., sending an email, contacting a firewall API, configuring database objects, etc.)
+
+For security reasons, the `/_odoo.sh/ip-change` route is accessible only internally by the platform
+itself and returns a `403` response if accessed through any other means.
+
+Here is a pseudo-implementation example:

+which executes all :file:`neutralize.sql` scripts for every installed module.
+
+Common error messages and solutions

+
+Registration error
+------------------
+
+In case of a registration error, the following message should be displayed.
+
+.. image:: on_premise/error-message-sub-code.png
+   :alt: Database registration error message
+
+To resolve the issue:
+
+- Check the **validity of your Odoo Enterprise subscription** by verifying if your subscription
+  details have the tag :guilabel:`In Progress` on your `Odoo Account
+  <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`_ or contact your Account Manager.
+
+- Ensure that **no other database is linked** to the subscription code, as only one database can be
+  linked per subscription.
+
+  .. tip::
+     If a test or a development database is needed, you can :ref:`duplicate a database
+     <on-premise/duplicate>`.
+
+- Verify that **no databases share the same UUID** (Universally Unique Identifier) by opening your
+  `Odoo Contract <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`_. If two or more databases share the
+  same UUID, their name will be displayed.
+
+  .. image:: on_premise/unlink-db-name-collision.png
+     :alt: Database UUID error message
+
+  If that is the case, manually change the database(s) UUID or `send a support ticket
+  <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_.
+
+- As the update notification must be able to reach Odoo's subscription validation servers, ensure
+  your **network and firewall settings** allow the Odoo server to open outgoing connections
+  towards:
+
+  - Odoo 18.0 and above: `services.odoo.com` on port `80`
+  - Odoo 17.0 and below: `services.openerp.com` on port `80`
+
+  These ports must be kept open even after registering a database, as the update notification runs
+  once a week.
+
+Too many users error
+--------------------
+
+If you have more users in a local database than provisioned in your Odoo Enterprise subscription,
+the following message should be displayed.
+
+.. image:: on_premise/add-more-users.png
+   :alt: Too many users on a database error message
+
+When the message appears, you have 30 days to act before the database expires. The countdown is
+updated every day.
+
+To resolve the issue, either:
+
+- **Add more users** to your subscription by clicking the :guilabel:`Upgrade your subscription` link
+  displayed in the message to validate the upsell quotation and pay for the extra users.
+- :ref:`Deactivate users <users/deactivate>` and **reject** the upsell quotation.
+
+Once your database has the correct number of users, the expiration message disappears automatically
+after a few days, when the next verification occurs.

+Reset the master password
+-------------------------
+
+There may be instances where the master password is misplaced, or compromised, and needs to be
+reset. The following process is for system administrators of an Odoo on-premise database detailing
+how to manually reset and re-encrypt the master password.
+
+.. seealso::
+   For more information about changing an Odoo.com account password, see this documentation:
+   :ref:`odoocom/change_password`.
+
+When creating a new on-premise database, a random master password is generated. Odoo recommends
+using this password to secure the database. This password is implemented by default, so there is a
+secure master password for any Odoo on-premise deployment.
+
+.. warning::
+   When creating an Odoo on-premise database the installation is accessible to anyone on the
+   internet, until this password is set to secure the database.
+
+The master password is specified in the Odoo configuration file (`odoo.conf` or `odoorc` (hidden
+file)). The Odoo master password is needed to modify, create, or delete a database through the
+graphical user interface (GUI).
+
+Locate configuration file
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+First, open the Odoo configuration file (`odoo.conf` or `odoorc` (hidden file)).
+
+.. tabs::
+
+   .. tab:: Windows
+
+      The configuration file is located at: `c:\\ProgramFiles\\Odoo{VERSION}\\server\\odoo.conf`
+
+   .. tab:: Linux
+
+      Depending on how Odoo is installed on the Linux machine, the configuration file is located in
+      one of two different places:
+
+      - Package installation: `/etc/odoo.conf`
+      - Source installation: `~/.odoorc`
+
+Change old password
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once the appropriate file has been opened, proceed to modify the old password in the configuration
+file to a temporary password.
+
+.. tabs::
+
+   .. group-tab:: Graphical user interface
+
+      After locating the configuration file, open it using a (:abbr:`GUI (graphical user
+      interface)`). This can be achieved by simply double clicking on the file. Then, the device
+      should have a default :abbr:`GUI (graphical user interface)` to open the file with.
+
+      Next, modify the master password line `admin_passwd = $pbkdf2-sha…` to `admin_passwd =
+      newpassword1234`, for example. This password can be anything, as long as it is saved
+      temporarily. Make sure to modify all characters after the `=`.
+
+      .. example::
+         The line appears like this:
+         `admin_passwd =
+         $pbkdf2-sh39dji295.59mptrfW.9z6HkA$w9j9AMVmKAP17OosCqDxDv2hjsvzlLpF8Rra8I7p/b573hji540mk/.3ek0lg%kvkol6k983mkf/40fjki79m`
+
+         The modified line appears like this: `admin_passwd = newpassword1234`
+
+   .. group-tab:: Command-line interface
+
+      Modify the master password line using the following Unix command detailed below.
+
+      Connect to the Odoo server's terminal via Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, and edit the
+      configuration file. To modify the configuration file, enter the following command:
+      :command:`sudo nano /etc/odoo.conf`
+
+      After opening the configuration file, modify the master password line `admin_passwd =
+      $pbkdf2-sha…` to `admin_passwd = newpassword1234`. This password can be anything, as long as
+      it is saved temporarily. Make sure to modify all characters after the `=`.
+
+      .. example::
+         The line appears like this:
+         `admin_passwd =
+         $pbkdf2-sh39dji295.59mptrfW.9z6HkA$w9j9AMVmKAP17OosCqDxDv2hjsvzlLpF8Rra8I7p/b573hji540mk/.3ek0lg%kvkol6k983mkf/40fjki79m`
+
+         The modified line appears like this: `admin_passwd = newpassword1234`
+
+.. important::
+   It is essential that the password is changed to something else, rather than triggering a new
+   password reset by adding a semicolon `;` at the beginning of the line. This ensures the database
+   is secure throughout the entire password reset process.
+
+Restart Odoo server
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+After setting the temporary password, a restart of the Odoo server is **required**.
+
+.. tabs::
+
+   .. group-tab:: Graphical user interface
+
+      To restart the Odoo server, first, type `services` into the Windows :guilabel:`Search` bar.
+      Then, select the :guilabel:`Services` application, and scroll down to the :guilabel:`Odoo`
+      service.
+
+      Next, right click on :guilabel:`Odoo`, and select :guilabel:`Start` or :guilabel:`Restart`.
+      This action manually restarts the Odoo server.
+
+   .. group-tab:: Command-line interface
+
+      Restart the Odoo server by typing the command: :command:`sudo service odoo15 restart`
+
+      .. note::
+         Change the number after `odoo` to fit the specific version the server is running on.
+
+Use web interface to re-encrypt password
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+First, navigate to `/web/database/manager` or `http://server_ip:port/web/database/manager` in a
+browser.
+
+.. note::
+   Replace `server_ip` with the IP address of the database. Replace `port` with the numbered port
+   the database is accessible from.
+
+Next, click :guilabel:`Set Master Password`, and type in the previously-selected temporary password
+into the :guilabel:`Master Password` field. Following this step, type in a :guilabel:`New Master
+Password`. The :guilabel:`New Master Password` is hashed (or encrypted), once the
+:guilabel:`Continue` button is clicked.
+
+At this point, the password has been successfully reset, and a hashed version of the new password
+now appears in the configuration file.

+Installation
+============
+
+#. Download both the GeoLite2 City and Country
+   `databases <https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/>`_. You should end up with two files
+   called :file:`GeoLite2-City.mmdb` and :file:`GeoLite2-Country.mmdb`.

+       mv ~/Downloads/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb /usr/share/GeoIP/
+
+#. Restart the server
+
+.. note::
+   If you don't want to locate the geoip database in :file:`/usr/share/GeoIP/`, use the
+   :option:`--geoip-city-db <odoo-bin --geoip-city-db>` and
+   :option:`--geoip-country-db <odoo-bin --geoip-country-db>` options of the Odoo command line
+   interface. These options take the absolute path to the GeoIP database file and use it as the
+   GeoIP database. For example:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      ./odoo-bin --geoip-city-db= ~/Downloads/GeoLite2-City.mmdb
+
+   .. seealso::
+      - :doc:`CLI documentation </developer/reference/cli>`.
+
+Test GeoIP geolocation in your Odoo website
+===========================================
+
+Edit a web page to include some geo-ip information such as the country name of the current
+request IP address. To do so:
+
+#. Go to your website. Open the web page that you want to test ``GeoIP``.
+#. Choose :menuselection:`Customize --> HTML/CSS/JS Editor`.
+#. Add the following piece of XML in the page :
+
+   .. code-block:: xml
+
+       <h1 class="text-center" t-esc="request.geoip.country.name or 'geoip failure'"/>
+
+#. Save and refresh the page.
+
+Geo-ip is working if you read your country name displayed in bold in the middle of the page.
+
+In case you read "**geoip failure**" instead then the geolocalization failed. The common causes are:
+
+#. The browsing IP address is the localhost (``127.0.0.1``) or a local area network one. If you
+   don't know, you can access your website using mobile data.
+#. You are using a reverse-proxy (apache, nginx) in front of Odoo but didn't start Odoo with the
+   proxy-mode enabled. See :option:`proxy mode <odoo-bin --proxy-mode>`.
+#. The GeoIP database is corrupt, missing or unaccessible. In such case a warning was logged in the
+   server logs.

+An upgrade involves moving a database from an older version to a newer supported version (e.g., from
+Odoo 16.0 to Odoo 18.0). Regular upgrades are crucial as each version offers new features, bug
+fixes, and security patches. Using a :doc:`supported version <supported_versions>` is strongly

+      - If a database is on a **minor version** (e.g., 17.1, 17.2, 17.4), an upgrade is mandatory

+   upgrade from the database. If the test fails, you can test an upgrade using the `database manager
+   <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_.

+   An automatic upgrade to the next version will be triggered if no action is taken before the
+   specified due date.
 
 An upgrade does not cover:

-Process workflow
-================
-
-The upgrade process in a nutshell:
-
-#. You create a test upgrade request.
-#. Odoo processes the request automatically by running the database through an upgrade script, which
-   takes between 20 and 120 minutes.
-#. Odoo delivers a test database.
-#. You test your database for possible discrepancies (see :ref:`upgrade/test-guidance`).
-#. If there are any discrepancies, you report them to the Upgrade support team via the help portal
-   (see :ref:`upgrade/test-assistance`).
-#. We fix the issues and send you a new test database.
-#. Once you have completed the testing and are happy with the result, you decide on a date and time
-   when you stop users from accessing Odoo, freeze all data entries, and create an upgrade request
-   for the production upgrade.
-#. Odoo delivers the production database through the automated process.
-#. You restore it in your Production environment a few short hours later and continue working on the
-   newly upgraded database (this is done automatically on Odoo Online).
-
-.. seealso::
-   - :doc:`Upgrade process for Odoo Online <upgrade/odoo_online>`

-
-.. _upgrade/testing-phase:
-
-Testing
-=======
-
-This phase allows you to review an upgraded version of your database without affecting your
-production database in any way. We suggest that you run the test upgrade process at least once, but
-you can do it as many times as you need (one at a time).
-
-Once you receive your upgraded test database, check that all data, processes, and functionality are
-still correct and working as expected.
-
-If you do find discrepancies, :ref:`report your issues <upgrade/test-assistance>` and :ref:`request
-a new test database <upgrade/test-db-request>` when the reported issues are fixed in the upgrade
-script.
-
-If you do not find any discrepancies, you can move on to the upgrade of your production database.
-
-.. important::
-   A test database is only intended for testing and remains completely unrelated to your present or
-   future production database. Any data you add, or changes you make, will not be reflected in your
-   upgraded production database.
-
-.. note::
-   Test databases are neutered and features are disabled to prevent them from having an impact on
-   the production database:
-
-   #. The serial number of the database is modified (to prevent it from sending information as if it
-      was the production database).
-   #. The :ref:`base URL of the database <domain-name/web-base-url>` is reset to
-      ``http://localhost:8069`` and the email domain to ``localhost``.
-   #. Scheduled actions are disabled (the calendar synchronization, the bank statement
-      synchronization, the planned automated actions, the fetching of incoming mail servers, etc.).
-   #. Outgoing mail servers are disabled by archiving the existing ones and adding a
-      fake/non-working one.
-   #. Payment providers and delivery carriers are reset to test environment.
-   #. Accounting localization Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) services are disabled.
-   #. A system parameter is set to tell the database has been neutered.

-Request a test database
+Upgrading in a nutshell
 =======================
 
-Follow the instructions available per hosting type on the `website form
-<https://upgrade.odoo.com>`_ and select *Testing* purpose.
+#. Request an upgraded test database (see :ref:`obtaining an upgraded test database
+   <upgrade-request-test>`).
+#. If applicable, upgrade the source code of your custom module to be compatible with the new
+   version of Odoo (see :doc:`/developer/howtos/upgrade_custom_db`).
+#. Thoroughly test the upgraded database (see :ref:`testing the new version of the database
+   <upgrade-testing>`).
+#. Report any issue encountered during the testing to Odoo by going to the `Support page and
+   selecting "An issue related to my future upgrade (I am testing an upgrade)"
+   <https://www.odoo.com/help?stage=migration>`_.
+#. Once all issues are resolved and you are confident that the upgraded database can be used as
+   your main database without any issues, plan the upgrade of your production database.
+#. Request the upgrade for the production database, rendering it unavailable for the time it takes
+   to complete the process (see :ref:`upgrading the production database <upgrade-production>`).
+#. Report any issue encountered during the upgrade to Odoo by going to the `Support page and

+      Once the upgrade platform is done upgrading the backup and uploading it on the branch, it is
+      put in a **special mode**: each time a **commit is pushed** on the branch, a **restore
+      operation** of the upgraded backup and an **update of all the custom modules** occur. This
+      allows you to test your custom modules on a pristine copy of the upgraded database. The log
+      file of the upgrade process can be found in your newly upgraded staging build by going to
+      :file:`~/logs/upgrade.log`.
+
+      .. important::
+         In databases where custom modules are installed, their source code must be up-to-date with
+         the target version of Odoo before the upgrade can be performed. If there are none, the
+         "update on commit" mode is skipped, the upgraded database is built as soon as it is
+         transferred from the upgrade platform, and the upgrade mode is exited.
+
+         Check out the :doc:`/developer/howtos/upgrade_custom_db` page for more information.
+
+   .. group-tab:: On-premise
+
+      The standard upgrade process can be initiated by entering the following command line on the
+      machine where the database is hosted:
+
+      .. code-block:: console
+
+         $ python <(curl -s https://upgrade.odoo.com/upgrade) test -d <your db name> -t <target version>
+
+      .. note::
+         This command has some requirements on the environment it runs in:
+
+         - Some external commands that must be provided by the operating system, normally found in
+           any Linux distribution (including WSL). An error will be displayed if one or several of
+           them are missing.
+         - The system user that executes the command needs to be configured with access to the
+           database. Please refer to the PostgreSQL documentation of the `client environment
+           <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-envars.html>`_ or the `client password
+           file <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-pgpass.html>`_ for this requirement.
+         - The script needs to be able to reach one or multiple servers of the upgrade platform
+           both on TCP port 443 and to any random TCP port in the range between 32768 and 60999.
+           This can be in conflict with your restrictive firewall and may need an exception added
+           to the firewall configuration.
+
+      The following command can be used to display the general help and the main commands:
+
+      .. code-block:: console
+
+         $ python <(curl -s https://upgrade.odoo.com/upgrade) --help
+
+      An upgraded test database can also be requested via the `Upgrade page
+      <https://upgrade.odoo.com>`_.
+
+      .. important::
+         In databases where custom modules are installed, their source code must be up-to-date with
+         the target version of Odoo before the upgrade can be performed. Check out the
+         :doc:`/developer/howtos/upgrade_custom_db` page for more information.
+
+      .. note::
+         - For security reasons, only the person who submitted the upgrade request can download it.
+         - For storage reasons, the database's copy is submitted without a filestore to the upgrade
+           server. Therefore, the upgraded database does not contain the production filestore.
+         - Before restoring the upgraded database, its filestore must be merged with the production
+           filestore to be able to perform tests in the same conditions as it would be in the new
+           version.
+         - The upgraded database contains:
+
+           - A `dump.sql` file containing the upgraded database
+           - A `filestore` folder containing files extracted from in-database records into
+             attachments (if there are any) and new standard Odoo files from the targeted Odoo
+             version (e.g., new images, icons, payment provider's logos, etc.).
+             This is the folder that should be merged with the production filestore
+             in order to get the full upgraded filestore.
+
+.. note::
+   You can request multiple test databases if you wish to test an upgrade more than once.
+
+.. note::
+   When an upgrade request is completed, an upgrade report is attached to the successful upgrade
+   email, and it becomes available in the Discuss app for users who are part of the "Administration
+   / Settings" group. This report provides important information about the changes introduced by
+   the new version.
+
+.. _upgrade-testing:
+
+Testing the new version of the database
+=======================================
+
+It is essential to test the upgraded test database to ensure that you are not stuck in your
+day-to-day activities by a change in views, behavior, or an error message once the upgrade goes
+live.
+
+.. note::
+   Test databases are neutralized, and some features are disabled to prevent them from impacting the
+   production database:
+
+   #. Scheduled actions are disabled.
+   #. Outgoing mail servers are disabled by archiving the existing ones and adding a fake one.
+   #. Payment providers and delivery carriers are reset to the test environment.
+   #. Bank synchronization is disabled. Should you want to test the synchronization, contact your
+      bank synchronization provider to get sandbox credentials.
+
+Testing as many of your business flows as possible is strongly recommended to ensure they are
+working correctly and to get more familiar with the new version.
+
+.. admonition:: Basic test checklist
+
+   - Are there views that are deactivated in your test database but active in your production
+     database?
+   - Are your usual views still displayed correctly?
+   - Are your reports (invoice, sales order, etc.) correctly generated?
+   - Are your website pages working correctly?
+   - Are you able to create and modify records? (sales orders, invoices, purchases, users, contacts,
+     companies, etc.)
+   - Are there any issues with your mail templates?
+   - Are there any issues with saved translations?
+   - Are your search filters still present?
+   - Can you export your data?
+
+.. spoiler:: Example of end-to-end testing
+
+   - Checking a random product in your product catalog and comparing its test and production data to
+     verify everything is the same (product category, selling price, cost price, vendor, accounts,
+     routes, etc.).
+   - Buying this product (Purchase app).
+   - Confirming the reception of this product (Inventory app).
+   - Checking if the route to receive this product is the same in your production database
+     (Inventory app).
+   - Selling this product (Sales app) to a random customer.
+   - Opening your customer database (Contacts app), selecting a customer (or company), and checking
+     its data.
+   - Shipping this product (Inventory app).
+   - Checking if the route to ship this product is the same as in your production database
+     (Inventory app).
+   - Validating a customer invoice (Invoicing or Accounting app).
+   - Crediting the invoice (issuing a credit note) and checking if it behaves as in your production
      database.

-The production launch
-=====================
+If you face an issue while testing your upgraded test database, you can request the assistance of
+Odoo by going to the `Support page and selecting "An issue related to my future upgrade (I am
+testing an upgrade)" <https://www.odoo.com/help?stage=migration>`_. In any case, it is essential to
+report any problem encountered during the testing to fix it before upgrading your production
+database.
 
-The production upgrade request is when you decide to upgrade your current database with all your
-production data (invoices, VAT returns, inventories, current orders) to a new version of your
-choice.
+You might encounter significant differences with standard views, features, fields, and models during
+testing. Those changes cannot be reverted on a case-by-case basis. However, if a change introduced
+by a new version breaks a customization, it is the responsibility of the maintainer of your custom
+module to make it compatible with the new version of Odoo.
 
-After your :ref:`tests <upgrade/testing-phase>` are completed to your satisfaction, submit the
-request to upgrade your production database via our `website form <https://upgrade.odoo.com>`_.
-Select *Production* purpose.
+.. tip::
+   Do not forget to test:
+
+   - Integrations with external software (EDI, APIs, etc.)
+   - Workflows between different apps (online sales with eCommerce, converting a lead all the way to
+     a sales order, delivery of products, etc.)
+   - Data exports
+   - Automated actions
+   - Server actions in the action menu on form views, as well as by selecting multiple records on
+     list views
+
+.. _upgrade-production:
+
+Upgrading the production database
+=================================
+
+Once the :ref:`tests <upgrade-testing>` are completed and you are confident that the upgraded
+database can be used as your main database without any issues, it is time to plan the go-live day.
+
+Your production database will be unavailable during its upgrade. Therefore, we recommend planning
+the upgrade at a time when the use of the database is minimal.
+
+As the standard upgrade scripts and your database are constantly evolving, it is also recommended
+to frequently request another upgraded test database to ensure that the upgrade process is still
+successful, especially if it takes a long time to finish. **Fully rehearsing the upgrade process the
+day before upgrading the production database is also recommended.**
 
 .. important::
    Going into production without first testing may lead to:
 
-   - business interruptions (e.g., no longer having the possibility to validate an action)
-   - poor customer experiences (e.g., an eCommerce website that does not work correctly)
+   - Users failing to adjust to the changes and new features
+   - Business interruptions (e.g., no longer having the possibility to validate an action)
+   - Poor customer experience (e.g., an eCommerce website that does not work correctly)

-This is a factor to take into consideration before upgrading. If you are on an older version, we
-suggest you to prefer the most recent version to benefit from longer support (before having to
-upgrade again).
+      An upgraded production database can also be requested via the `Upgrade page
+      <https://upgrade.odoo.com>`_.

-
-.. _upgrade-faq/why:
-
-Why upgrade
-===========
-
-* You benefit from the latest features of the :ref:`new major version
-  <upgrade-faq/release-notes>` released by Odoo.
-* If you are in an :ref:`unsupported version <upgrade/supported-versions>`, you get a new version
-  with support.
-
-.. _upgrade-faq/when:
-
-When to upgrade
-===============
-
-Whenever you want. You can make your upgrade request as soon as a new version is released or when
-your version turns unsupported, and you still wish to enjoy support.
-
-.. _upgrade-faq/availability:
-
-Availability of the new version
-===============================
-
-As soon as Odoo announces the release of a new major version, you can create a test upgrade request
-to try the latest version. Please note that at this point, the upgrade scripts will only have been
-tested with demo data. Please report any issue you might encounter while testing via the `Odoo
-Support page <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_ and make sure to be happy with your test version before
-requesting the upgrade of your database in production.
-
-.. _upgrade-faq/duration:
-
-Duration of the upgrade
-=======================
-
-It is impossible to give time estimates for every upgrade request.
-
-In general, the "smaller" the database, the quickest the upgrade request is completed. A single-user
-database that uses only CRM will be processed faster than a multi-company, multi-user database that
-uses Accounting, Sales, Purchase, and Manufacturing.
-
-You can expect the time it takes for the platform to upgrade the test database to be similar to the
-production upgrade.
-
-.. _upgrade-faq/project:
-
-Duration of the upgrade project
--------------------------------
-
-It depends on the user involvement (the time spent on testing, reporting problems, etc.) and the
-issues encountered that might need to be addressed by our technical team.
-
-So, in a nutshell, what can impact your upgrade lead time?
-
-* Source & targeted versions
-* Installed apps
-* Volume of data
-* Amount of customization (models, fields, methods, workflows, reports, website, etc.)
-* Installation of new apps or configuration changes after the start of the test phase
-* User commitment

-=============================
-
-As stated in our :doc:`/legal/terms/enterprise`, section :ref:`charges_standard`, this optional

-The Upgrade Report
-==================
-
-When an upgrade request completes successfully (test or production), you receive an email

-Discuss app. It contains valuable information regarding changes that occurred during the upgrade.
-While it serves as a guide to possible issues to look out for, it is not an exhaustive list. It
-remains imperative that you test the upgraded database thoroughly and report any discrepancies you
-might find, before you decide to upgrade your production database.

-How long is my test available for
-=================================
-
-An Odoo Online test database is available for one month by default. We can extend this trial period
-upon request. For Odoo.sh or on-premise, there is no restriction.
-
-How many tests to perform before upgrading to production?
-=========================================================
-
-As many as needed. When you are comfortable with the database, run a last test upgrade 48 hours
-before requesting your production upgrade and test your workflows one last time.
-
-How to/Where to report upgrade issues?
-======================================
-
-If you encounter issues during the upgrade process, please contact the Odoo Support through the
-`Odoo Support page <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_.
-
-- To report an issue discovered during the testing phase, please select **An issue related to my
-  upgrade (test phase)**.
-- To report an issue discovered post-upgrade, please select **An issue related to my upgrade
-  (production)**.
-
-Upgrading to production
-=======================
-
-Once you have completed testing and are happy with the result, you decide on a date and time when
-you stop users from accessing Odoo, freeze all data entries, and create an upgrade request for the
-production upgrade.
-
-How is my data handled in the Upgrade Platform?
-===============================================
-
-The Odoo Upgrade platform uses the same Privacy Policy as the rest of Odoo.com services.
-
-Your data is hosted on servers that follow our security guidelines, namely:
-
-- SSL - All web connections to client instances are protected with 256-bit SSL encryption
-  (HTTPS with a 2048-bit modulus SSL certificate), and running behind Grade A SSL stacks. All our
-  certificate chains are using SHA-2 already.
-- Safe System - Our servers are running recent Linux distribution with up-to-date security patches,
-  with firewall and intrusion countermeasures (not disclosed for obvious reasons).
-
-Servers are located at the same locations as our Cloud providers with the following services:
-
-- Restricted perimeter, physically accessed by authorized data center employees only
-- Physical access control with security badges or biometrical security
-- Security cameras monitoring the data center locations 24/7
-- Security personnel on-site 24/7
-
-The uploaded and migrated databases uploaded to the Upgrade platform are kept for up to 3 months and
-are permanently deleted following that period.
-
-You can learn more about privacy and data handling at Odoo by visiting our `General Data Protection
-Regulation page <https://www.odoo.com/gdpr>`_.
-
-Rolling Release (applicable to Odoo Online databases)
-=====================================================
-
-This feature allows customers to upgrade their database directly from a message prompt sent to the
-database administrator as soon as the new version is released. Odoo first tests the upgrade to the
-next version. The rolling release upgrade option is displayed if the automated tests are successful.
-The message offers two options:
-
-#. To 'Upgrade Now', which immediately triggers the upgrade of your live production database.
-
-#. To take you to your `database manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases/>`_ where you can
-   `request an upgraded test database <https://upgrade.odoo.com/#online/>`_ and check the upgraded
-   test database for any discrepancies.
-
-When you choose to proceed with the production upgrade directly, make sure all users have saved
-their work and are logged out. The upgrade takes approximately 15 minutes. During this time your
-database is unreachable. If you notice any problem after the upgrade, please report it via the `Odoo
-Support page <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_.
-
-.. note::
-   If you are using the Website or Studio app, we recommend you always do a test upgrade before
-   upgrading your production instance.

-about the database upgrade.
-
-There is also a :guilabel:`Purpose` section on the pop-up that is used to specify the reason for the

-Upgrade your custom modules
-===========================
-
-The first step is to upgrade your custom modules to keep them compatible with the new version. Fork
-your :guilabel:`Production` branch in the :guilabel:`Development` stage, then go to the settings of
-your :guilabel:`Development` branch and select the Odoo version you target. If needed, modify your
-code to be compatible with the new version. Make sure to **test** your features are still working
-correctly.
-
-.. note::
-   Depending on your contract, the upgrade of your custom modules can be done by yourself, by your
-   Partner or by Odoo (if you hold a subscription including maintenance of customizations).
-
-.. _upgrade/odoo_sh/testing-phase:
-
-Upgrade your database on a staging branch
-=========================================
-
-Take the upgraded development branch and drag & drop it to :guilabel:`Staging`.
-
-Go to the :guilabel:`Upgrade` tab and select the :guilabel:`target version`. Then, click on
-:guilabel:`Test Upgrade`.
-
-.. image:: odoo_sh/odoo-sh-staging.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Odoo.sh project and tabs
-
-The **latest production daily automatic backup** is sent to the
-`upgrade platform <https://www.upgrade.odoo.com>`_ to start the upgrade test process.
-
-.. note::
-   You can follow the upgrade process by going to the :guilabel:`Upgrade` menu of your
-   :guilabel:`Production` branch.
-
-When the upgraded backup is ready on the `upgrade platform <https://www.upgrade.odoo.com>`_, it is
-automatically downloaded back to your project.
-
-The branch is now in a **special mode**: each time a **commit is pushed** on the branch, a
-**restore operation** of the upgraded backup occurs, and an **update of all the custom modules**
-happens. This allows you to quickly iterate on your custom modules upgrade scripts. The log file of
-the upgrade process can be found at :file:`~/logs/upgrade.log` in your newly upgraded staging build.
-
-.. note::
-   - The **special upgrade mode** is automatically closed after 30 days.
-   - It may happen that custom modules are no longer needed after an upgrade. Custom modules in the
-     upgraded database are set to be updated. If the modules are missing in the code, the update
-     fails, thus failing the whole process. An empty module with a manifest and possibly some custom
-     upgrade script are necessary to clean up the database. The complete removal of the module has
-     to be handled afterwards.
-
-Functionally test your upgraded database
-========================================
-
-Now that the test upgraded database is available on your staging branch, **thoroughly test it** and
-make sure everything runs as it's supposed to. Once you are satisfied with the result, you are ready
-to upgrade your production database.

-
-.. note::
-   If anything goes wrong, the platform automatically reverts the upgrade, the same as it would be
-   for a regular update. In case of success, a backup is always made.
-
-The update of your custom modules must be successful to complete the entire upgrade process. Make
-sure the status of your staging upgrade is :guilabel:`successful` before trying it in production.
-
-.. note::
-   It may happen that custom modules are no longer needed after an upgrade. Custom modules in the
-   upgraded database are set to be updated. If the modules are missing in the code, the update
-   fails, thus failing the whole process. An empty module with a manifest and possibly some custom
-   upgrade script are necessary to clean up the database. The complete removal of the module has to
-   be handled afterwards.

-On-Premise

-
-Test upgrade request
-====================
-
-There are two ways to create your upgrade request.
-
-Upgrade request via command line
---------------------------------
-
-For technically-advanced users and partners, the upgrade process can be initiated via the following
-command line on the server where the database is hosted:
-
-:command:`python <(curl -s https://upgrade.odoo.com/upgrade) test -d <your db name> -t
-<target version>`
-
-The above command creates the database dump, sends it to the upgrade platform, and initiates the
-automated upgrade process. During the upgrade, you can follow the live logs on your screen.
-Once the upgrade process is completed successfully, the upgraded database is restored onto the
-server (as a duplicate test database).
-
-Upgrade request via the Odoo Upgrade Portal
--------------------------------------------
-
-#. Download a recent copy of your database and select the option :guilabel:`pg_dump custom format
-   (without filestore)`.
-#. Upload this dump file at https://upgrade.odoo.com and select *Testing* as the aim.
-   Odoo performs the automated upgrade process. Once it is completed, you receive an email with a
-   link to download the upgrade database dump file.
-#. Import the upgraded database into your on-premise environment and manually test all processes and
-   workflows.
-
-.. note::
-   - For security reasons, only the person who submitted the upgrade request is able to download it.
-   - Any problem found during testing should be reported via the `helpdesk
-     <https://odoo.com/help>`_.
-   - For storage reasons, the copy of your database is submitted without a filestore to the upgrade
-     server. Therefore, the upgraded database does not contain the production filestore.
-   - Before restoring the upgraded database, its filestore must be merged with the production
-     filestore to be able to perform tests in the same conditions as it would be in the new version.
-   - The upgraded database contains:
-
-      - A `dump.sql` file containing the upgraded database.
-      - A `filestore` folder containing files that were extracted from in-database records into
-        attachments (if there are any) and new standard Odoo files from the targeted Odoo version
-        (like new images, icons, payment provider's logos, etc.). This is the folder that should be
-        merged with the production filestore in order to get the full upgraded filestore.
-
-Upgrade your production database
-================================
-
-Once you have completed the testing successfully, you can proceed to upgrade your live database in
-production. Download your upgraded database from the link in the email and import it onto your live
-environment.
-
-.. important::
-   - Same as in the test phase, when requesting an upgrade for production purposes, the copy of your
-     database is submitted without a filestore.
-   - Therefore, the upgraded database filestore must be merged with the production filestore before
-     deploying the new version.
-
-Custom modules (if applicable)
-==============================
-
-The upgrade of a database that contains custom modules is a two-step process.
-
-#. The standard upgrade is done when your upgrade request is completed.
-#. Your custom modules also need to be upgraded to keep them compatible with the new version.
-
-Depending on your contract, the upgrade of your custom modules can be done
-
-#. by yourself.
-#. by your Partner.
-#. by Odoo (if you hold a subscription to 'Maintenance of Customizations').

+.. seealso::
+   Follow the :doc:`Members documentation <../sales/members>` for more information on publishing
+   members on the website.
+
+Smart buttons
+=============
+
+At the top of the contact form, there are some additional options available, known as *smart
+buttons*.
+
+Here, Odoo displays a variety of records, related to this contact, that were created on other apps.
+Odoo integrates information from every single app, so there are many smart buttons.
+
+.. example::
+   For example, there is an :guilabel:`Opportunities` smart button, where all the opportunities
+   related to this customer from the *CRM* app are accessible.
+
+.. tip::
+   If the corresponding applications are installed, their related smart buttons appear
+   automatically on a contact form.
+
+A user can see any :guilabel:`Meetings`, :guilabel:`Sales`, :guilabel:`POS Orders`,
+:guilabel:`Subscriptions`, project :guilabel:`Tasks`, and the :guilabel:`More` smart button reveals
+additional options, via a drop-down menu. A user can even quickly access :guilabel:`Purchases`,
+:guilabel:`Helpdesk` tasks, :guilabel:`On-time Rate` for deliveries, :guilabel:`Invoiced`
+information, :guilabel:`Vendor Bills`, and the :guilabel:`Partner Ledger` connected to this contact.
+
+Deliveries, documents, loyalty cards, and direct debits are *also* linked to smart buttons, like
+this, should there be any outstanding/on-file for this contact.
+
+If the contact is a partner, the user can visit their partner page on the Odoo-built website by
+clicking the :guilabel:`Go to Website` smart button.
+
+Archive contacts
+----------------
+
+If a user decides they no longer want to have this contact active, the record can be archived. To do
+that, go to the :icon:`fa-cog` :guilabel:`Action` menu at the top of the contact form, and click
+:guilabel:`Archive`.
+
+Then, click :guilabel:`OK` from the resulting :guilabel:`Confirmation` pop-up window.
+
+With this contact successfully archived, as indicated by a banner at the top, they do not show up
+in the main contacts page, but they can still be searched for with the :guilabel:`Archived` filter.
+
+.. tip::
+   A contact can be *unarchived*, if the user decides to work with them again. To do that, just
+   click the :icon:`fa-cog` :guilabel:`Action` menu again at the top of the archived contact form,
+   and click :guilabel:`Unarchive`. Upon doing so, the :guilabel:`Archived` banner is removed, and
+   the contact is restored.

+Merge contacts
+==============
+
+Odoo's *Contacts* application allows user's to merge duplicate contacts, without losing any
+information in the process. This keeps the database organized, and prevents contacts from being
+contacted by more than one salesperson.
+
+.. _contacts/merge-duplicate:
+
+Merge duplicate contacts
+========================
+
+.. danger::
+   Merging is an irreversible action. Do **not** merge contacts unless absolutely certain they
+   should be combined.
+
+Navigate to the :menuselection:`Contacts app`, and select the :icon:`oi-view-list`
+:guilabel:`(list)` icon. Select two or more duplicate contacts from the list, and tick the checkbox
+(on the far-left) for the contacts that should be merged. Then, click the :icon:`fa-cog`

+field defaults to the contact record that was created first in the system.
+
+After confirming the information on the pop-up window, click :guilabel:`Merge Contacts`.
+
+Deduplicate contacts
+====================
+
+After the merge is finished, a pop-up window appears confirming it is complete. This pop-up window
+also contains a :guilabel:`Deduplicate the other Contacts` button. This feature searches for
+duplicated records, based on selected criteria, and merges them automatically, or after manual
+approval.
+
+Click the :guilabel:`Deduplicate the other Contacts` button to open the :guilabel:`Deduplicate
+Contacts` pop-up window.
+
+Select one or more fields to be used in the search for duplicated records. Duplicated contacts can
+be searched, based on the following criteria:
+
+- :guilabel:`Email`
+- :guilabel:`Name`
+- :guilabel:`Is Company`
+- :guilabel:`VAT`
+- :guilabel:`Parent Company`
+
+.. note::
+   If more than one field is selected, only records that have **all** fields in common are suggested
+   as duplicates.
+
+If necessary, select criteria to be used to exclude potential duplicates from the search. Potential
+duplicates can be excluded from the search, based on the following criteria:
+
+- :guilabel:`A user associated to the contact`
+- :guilabel:`Journal Items associated to the contact`
+
+After confirming the search criteria, click either :guilabel:`Merge with Manual Check`,
+:guilabel:`Merge Automatically`, or :guilabel:`Merge Automatically all process`.
+
+If :guilabel:`Merge with Manual Check` is selected, complete the merge by following the :ref:`steps

+In Odoo, it is sometimes necessary to export or import data for running reports, or for data
+modification. This document covers the export and import of data into and out of Odoo.
+
+.. important::
+   Sometimes, users run into a 'time out' error, or a record does not process, due to its size. This
+   can occur with large exports, or in cases where the import file is too large. To circumvent this
+   limitation surrounding the size of the records, process exports or imports in smaller batches.
+
+.. _export-data:
+
+Export data from Odoo
+=====================
+
+When working with a database, it is sometimes necessary to export data in a distinct file. Doing so
+can aid in reporting on activities, although, Odoo provides a precise and easy reporting tool with
+each available application.
+
+With Odoo, the values can be exported from any field in any record. To do so, activate the list view
+(|list|), on the items that need to be exported, then select the records that should be exported. To
+select a record, tick the checkbox next to the corresponding record. Finally, click on |actions|,
+then :guilabel:`Export`.
+
+.. image:: export_import_data/list-view-export.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: View of the different things to enable/click to export data.
+
+When clicking on :guilabel:`Export`, an :guilabel:`Export Data` pop-over window appears, with
+several options for the data to export:
+
+.. image:: export_import_data/export-data-overview.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: Overview of options to consider when exporting data in Odoo..
+
+#. With the :guilabel:`I want to update data (import-compatable export)` option ticked, the system
+   only shows the fields that can be imported. This is helpful in the case where the :ref:`existing
+   records need to be updated <essentials/update-data>`. This works like a filter. Leaving the box
+   unticked, gives many more field options because it shows all the fields, not just the ones that
+   can be imported.
+#. When exporting, there is the option to export in two formats: `.csv` and `.xls`. With `.csv`,
+   items are separated by a comma, while `.xls` holds information about all the worksheets in a
+   file, including both content and formatting.
+#. These are the items that can be exported. Use the :guilabel:`> (right arrow)` icon to display
+   more sub-field options. Use the :guilabel:`Search` bar to find specific fields. To use the
+   :guilabel:`Search` option more efficiently, click on all the :guilabel:`> (right arrows)` to
+   display all fields.
+#. The :guilabel:`+ (plus sign)` icon button is present to add fields to the :guilabel:`Fields to
+   export` list.
+#. The :guilabel:`↕️ (up-down arrow)` to the left of the selected fields can be used to move the
+   fields up and down, to change the order in which they are displayed in the exported file.
+   Drag-and-drop using the :guilabel:`↕️ (up-down arrow)` icon.
+#. The :guilabel:`🗑️ (trash can)` icon is used to remove fields. Click on the :guilabel:`🗑️ (trash
+   can)` icon to remove the field.
+#. For recurring reports, it is helpful to save export presets. Select all the needed fields, and
+   click on the template drop-down menu. Once there, click on :guilabel:`New template`, and give a
+   unique name to the export just created. Click the :guilabel:`💾 (floppy drive)` icon to save the
+   configuration. The next time the same list needs to be exported, select the related template that
+   was previously saved from the drop-down menu.
+
+.. tip::
+   It is helpful to know the field's external identifier. For example, :guilabel:`Related Company`
+   in the export user interface is equal to *parent_id* (external identifier). This is helpful
+   because then, the only data exported is what should be modified and re-imported.
+
+.. _import-data:
+
+Import data into Odoo
+=====================
+
+Importing data into Odoo is extremely helpful during implementation, or in times where data needs to
+be :ref:`updated in bulk <essentials/update-data>`. The following documentation covers how to import
+data into an Odoo database.
+
+.. warning::
+   Imports are permanent and **cannot** be undone. However, it is possible to use filters (`created
+   on` or `last modified`) to identify records changed or created by the import.
+
+.. tip::
+   Activating :ref:`developer mode <developer-mode>` changes the visible import settings in the left
+   menu. Doing so reveals an :menuselection:`Advanced` menu. Included in this advanced menu are two
+   options: :guilabel:`Track history during import` and :guilabel:`Allow matching with subfields`.
+
+   .. image:: export_import_data/advanced-import.png
+      :align: center
+      :alt: Advanced import options when developer mode is activated.
+
+   If the model uses openchatter, the :guilabel:`Track history during import` option sets up
+   subscriptions and sends notifications during the import, but leads to a slower import.
+
+   Should the :guilabel:`Allow matching with subfields` option be selected, then all subfields
+   within a field are used to match under the :guilabel:`Odoo Field` while importing.
+
+Get started
+-----------
+
+Data can be imported on any Odoo business object using either Excel (`.xlsx`) or :abbr:`CSV
+(Comma-separated Values)` (`.csv`) formats. This includes: contacts, products, bank statements,
+journal entries, and orders.
+
+Open the view of the object to which the data should be imported/populated, and click on
+:menuselection:`⚙️ (Action) --> Import records`.
+
+.. image:: export_import_data/import-button.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt:  Action menu revealed with the import records option highlighted.
+
+After clicking :guilabel:`Import records`, Odoo reveals a separate page with templates that can be
+downloaded and populated with the company's own data. Such templates can be imported in one click,
+since the data mapping is already done. To download a template click :guilabel:`Import Template for
+Customers` at the center of the page.
+
+.. important::
+   When importing a :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file, Odoo provides :guilabel:`Formatting`
+   options. These options do **not** appear when importing the proprietary Excel file type (`.xls`,
+   `.xlsx`).
+
+   .. image:: export_import_data/formatting.png
+      :align: center
+      :alt: Formatting options presented when a CVS file is imported in Odoo.
+
+Make necessary adjustments to the *Formatting* options, and ensure all columns in the
+:guilabel:`Odoo field` and :guilabel:`File Column` are free of errors. Finally, click
+:guilabel:`Import` to import the data.
+
+Adapt a template
+----------------
+
+Import templates are provided in the import tool of the most common data to import (contacts,
+products, bank statements, etc.). Open them with any spreadsheet software (*Microsoft Office*,
+*OpenOffice*, *Google Drive*, etc.).
+
+Once the template is downloaded, proceed to follow these steps:
+
+- Add, remove, and sort columns to best fit the data structure.
+- It is strongly advised to **not** remove the :guilabel:`External ID` (ID) column (see why in the
+  next section).
+- Set a unique ID to every record by dragging down the ID sequencing in the :guilabel:`External ID`
+  (ID) column.
+
+.. image:: export_import_data/dragdown.gif
+   :align: center
+   :alt: An animation of the mouse dragging down the ID column, so each record has a unique ID.
+
+.. note::
+   When a new column is added, Odoo may not be able to map it automatically, if its label does not
+   fit any field within Odoo. However, new columns can be mapped manually when the import is tested.
+   Search the drop-down menu for the corresponding field.
+
+   .. image:: export_import_data/field_list.png
+      :align: center
+      :alt: Drop-down menu expanded in the initial import screen on Odoo.
+
+   Then, use this field's label in the import file to ensure future imports are successful.
+
+.. tip::
+   Another useful way to find out the proper column names to import is to export a sample file
+   using the fields that should be imported. This way, if there is not a sample import template,
+   the names are accurate.
+
+
+.. _essentials/external-id:
+
+Import from another application
+-------------------------------
+
+The :guilabel:`External ID` (ID) is a unique identifier for the line item. Feel free to use one
+from previous software to facilitate the transition to Odoo.
+
+Setting an ID is not mandatory when importing, but it helps in many cases:
+
+- :ref:`Update imports <essentials/update-data>`: import the same file several times without
+  creating duplicates.
+- :ref:`Import relation fields <export_import_data/relation-fields>`.
+
+To recreate relationships between different records, the unique identifier from the original
+application should be used to map it to the :guilabel:`External ID` (ID) column in Odoo.
+
+When another record is imported that links to the first one, use **XXX/ID** (XXX/External ID) for
+the original unique identifier. This record can also be found using its name.
+
+.. warning::
+   It should be noted that conflicts occur if two (or more) records have the same *External ID*.
+
+Field missing to map column
+---------------------------
+
+Odoo heuristically tries to find the type of field for each column inside the imported file, based
+on the first ten lines of the files.
+
+For example, if there is a column only containing numbers, only the fields with the *integer* type
+are presented as options.
+
+While this behavior might be beneficial in most cases, it is also possible that it could fail, or
+the column may be mapped to a field that is not proposed by default.
+
+If this happens, check the :guilabel:`Show fields of relation fields (advanced) option`, then a
+complete list of fields becomes available for each column.
+
+.. image:: export_import_data/field_list.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: Searching for the field to match the tax column.
+
+Change data import format
+-------------------------
+
+.. note::
+   Odoo can automatically detect if a column is a date, and tries to guess the date format from a
+   set of most commonly used date formats. While this process can work for many date formats, some
+   date formats are not recognizable. This can cause confusion, due to day-month inversions; it is
+   difficult to guess which part of a date format is the day, and which part is the month, in a
+   date, such as `01-03-2016`.
+
+When importing a :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file, Odoo provides :guilabel:`Formatting`
+options.
+
+To view which date format Odoo has found from the file, check the :guilabel:`Date Format` that is
+shown when clicking on options under the file selector. If this format is incorrect, change it to
+the preferred format using *ISO 8601* to define the format.
+
+.. important::
+   *ISO 8601* is an international standard, covering the worldwide exchange, along with the
+   communication of date and time-related data. For example, the date format should be `YYYY-MM-DD`.
+   So, in the case of July 24th 1981, it should be written as `1981-07-24`.
+
+.. tip::
+   When importing Excel files (`.xls`, `.xlsx`), consider using *date cells* to store dates. This
+   maintains locale date formats for display, regardless of how the date is formatted in Odoo. When
+   importing a :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file, use Odoo's :guilabel:`Formatting` section
+   to select the date format columns to import.
+
+Import numbers with currency signs
+----------------------------------
+
+Odoo fully supports numbers with parenthesis to represent negative signs, as well as numbers with
+currency signs attached to them. Odoo also automatically detects which thousand/decimal separator is
+used. If a currency symbol unknown to Odoo is used, it might not be recognized as a number, and the
+import crashes.
+
+.. note::
+   When importing a :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file, the :guilabel:`Formatting` menu
+   appears on the left-hand column. Under these options, the :guilabel:`Thousands Separator` can be
+   changed.
+
+Examples of supported numbers (using 'thirty-two thousand' as the figure):
+
+- 32.000,00
+- 32000,00
+- 32,000.00
+- -32000.00
+- (32000.00)
+- $ 32.000,00
+- (32000.00 €)
+
+Example that will not work:
+
+- ABC 32.000,00
+- $ (32.000,00)
+
+.. important::
+   A :guilabel:`() (parenthesis)` around the number indicates that the number is a negative value.
+   The currency symbol **must** be placed within the parenthesis for Odoo to recognize it as a
+   negative currency value.
+
+Import preview table not displayed correctly
+--------------------------------------------
+
+By default, the import preview is set on commas as field separators, and quotation marks as text
+delimiters. If the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file does not have these settings, modify
+the :guilabel:`Formatting` options (displayed under the :guilabel:`Import` :abbr:`CSV
+(Comma-separated Values)` file bar after selecting the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file).
+
+.. important::
+   If the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file has a tabulation as a separator, Odoo does
+   **not** detect the separations. The file format options need to be modified in the spreadsheet
+   application. See the following :ref:`Change CSV file format <export_import_data/change-csv>`
+   section.
+
+.. _export_import_data/change-csv:
+
+Change CSV file format in spreadsheet application
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+When editing and saving :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` files in spreadsheet applications, the
+computer's regional settings are applied for the separator and delimiter. Odoo suggests using
+*OpenOffice* or *LibreOffice*, as both applications allow modifications of all three options (from
+*LibreOffice* application, go to :menuselection:`'Save As' dialog box --> Check the box 'Edit filter
+settings' --> Save`).
+
+Microsoft Excel can modify the encoding when saving (:menuselection:`'Save As' dialog box -->
+'Tools' drop-down menu --> Encoding tab`).
+
+Difference between Database ID and External ID
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Some fields define a relationship with another object. For example, the country of a contact is a
+link to a record of the 'Country' object. When such fields are imported, Odoo has to recreate links
+between the different records. To help import such fields, Odoo provides three mechanisms.
+
+.. important::
+   **Only one** mechanism should be used per field that is imported.
+
+For example, to reference the country of a contact, Odoo proposes three different fields to import:
+
+- :guilabel:`Country`: the name or code of the country
+- :guilabel:`Country/Database ID`: the unique Odoo ID for a record, defined by the ID PostgreSQL
+  column
+- :guilabel:`Country/External ID`: the ID of this record referenced in another application (or the
+  `.XML` file that imported it)
+
+For the country of Belgium, for example, use one of these three ways to import:
+
+- :guilabel:`Country`: `Belgium`
+- :guilabel:`Country/Database ID`: `21`
+- :guilabel:`Country/External ID`: `base.be`
+
+According to the company's need, use one of these three ways to reference records in relations. Here
+is an example when one or the other should be used, according to the need:
+
+- Use :guilabel:`Country`: this is the easiest way when data comes from :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated
+  Values)` files that have been created manually.
+- Use :guilabel:`Country/Database ID`: this should rarely be used. It is mostly used by developers
+  as the main advantage is to never have conflicts (there may be several records with the same name,
+  but they always have a unique Database ID)
+- Use :guilabel:`Country/External ID`: use *External ID* when importing data from a third-party
+  application.
+
+When *External IDs* are used, import :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` files with the
+:guilabel:`External ID` (ID) column defining the *External ID* of each record that is imported.
+Then, a reference can be made to that record with columns, like `Field/External ID`. The following
+two :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` files provide an example for products and their categories.
+
+- :download:`CSV file for categories
+  <export_import_data/External_id_3rd_party_application_product_categories.csv>`
+- :download:`CSV file for Products
+  <export_import_data/External_id_3rd_party_application_products.csv>`
+
+.. _export_import_data/relation-fields:
+
+Import relation fields
+----------------------
+
+An Odoo object is always related to many other objects (e.g. a product is linked to product
+categories, attributes, vendors, etc.). To import those relations, the records of the related object
+need to be imported first, from their own list menu.
+
+This can be achieved by using either the name of the related record, or its ID, depending on the
+circumstances. The ID is expected when two records have the same name. In such a case add `/ ID`
+at the end of the column title (e.g. for product attributes: `Product Attributes / Attribute / ID`).
+
+Options for multiple matches on fields
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If, for example, there are two product categories with the child name `Sellable` (e.g. `Misc.
+Products/Sellable` & `Other Products/Sellable`), the validation is halted, but the data may still be
+imported. However, Odoo recommends that the data is not imported because it will all be linked to
+the first `Sellable` category found in the *Product Category* list (`Misc. Products/Sellable`).
+Odoo, instead, recommends modifying one of the duplicate's values, or the product category
+hierarchy.
+
+However, if the company does not wish to change the configuration of product categories, Odoo
+recommends making use of the *External ID* for this field, 'Category'.
+
+Import many2many relationship fields
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The tags should be separated by a comma, without any spacing. For example, if a customer needs to be
+linked to both tags: `Manufacturer` and `Retailer` then 'Manufacturer,Retailer' needs to be encoded
+in the same column of the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file.
+
+- :download:`CSV file for Manufacturer, Retailer <export_import_data/m2m_customers_tags.csv>`
+
+Import one2many relationships
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If a company wants to import a sales order with several order lines, a specific row **must** be
+reserved in the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file for each order line. The first order line
+is imported on the same row as the information relative to order. Any additional lines need an
+additional row that does not have any information in the fields relative to the order.
+
+As an example, here is a :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file of some quotations that can be
+imported, based on demo data:
+
+- :download:`File for some Quotations
+  <export_import_data/purchase.order_functional_error_line_cant_adpat.csv>`
+
+The following :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file shows how to import purchase orders with
+their respective purchase order lines:

+
+Import records several times
+----------------------------
+
+If an imported file contains one of the columns: :guilabel:`External ID` or :guilabel:`Database ID`,
+records that have already been imported are modified, instead of being created. This is extremely
+useful as it allows users to import the same :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file several
+times, while having made some changes in between two imports.
+
+Odoo takes care of creating or modifying each record, depending if it is new or not.
+
+This feature allows a company to use the *Import/Export tool* in Odoo to modify a batch of records
+in a spreadsheet application.
+
+Value not provided for a specific field
+---------------------------------------
+
+If all fields are not set in the CSV file, Odoo assigns the default value for every non-defined
+field. But, if fields are set with empty values in the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file,
+Odoo sets the empty value in the field, instead of assigning the default value.
+
+Export/import different tables from an SQL application to Odoo
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If data needs to be imported from different tables, relations need to be recreated between records
+belonging to different tables. For instance, if companies and people are imported, the link between
+each person and the company they work for needs to be recreated.
+
+To manage relations between tables, use the `External ID` facilities of Odoo. The `External ID` of a
+record is the unique identifier of this record in another application. The `External ID` must be
+unique across all records of all objects. It is a good practice to prefix this `External ID` with
+the name of the application or table. (like, 'company_1', 'person_1' - instead of '1')
+
+As an example, suppose there is an SQL database with two tables that are to be imported: companies
+and people. Each person belongs to one company, so the link between a person and the company they
+work for must be recreated.
+
+Test this example, with a :download:`sample of a PostgreSQL database
+<export_import_data/database_import_test.sql>`.
+
+First, export all companies and their *External ID*. In PSQL, write the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   > copy (select 'company_'||id as "External ID",company_name as "Name",'True' as "Is a Company" from companies) TO '/tmp/company.csv' with CSV HEADER;
+
+This SQL command creates the following :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+   External ID,Name,Is a Company
+   company_1,Bigees,True
+   company_2,Organi,True
+   company_3,Boum,True
+
+To create the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file for people linked to companies, use the
+following SQL command in PSQL:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    > copy (select 'person_'||id as "External ID",person_name as "Name",'False' as "Is a Company",'company_'||company_id as "Related Company/External ID" from persons) TO '/tmp/person.csv' with CSV
+
+It produces the following :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+   External ID,Name,Is a Company,Related Company/External ID
+   person_1,Fabien,False,company_1
+   person_2,Laurence,False,company_1
+   person_3,Eric,False,company_2
+   person_4,Ramsy,False,company_3
+
+In this file, Fabien and Laurence are working for the Bigees company (`company_1`), and Eric is
+working for the Organi company. The relation between people and companies is done using the
+*External ID* of the companies. The *External ID* is prefixed by the name of the table to avoid a
+conflict of ID between people and companies (`person_1` and `company_1`, who shared the same ID 1 in
+the original database).
+
+The two files produced are ready to be imported in Odoo without any modifications. After having
+imported these two :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` files, there are four contacts and three
+companies (the first two contacts are linked to the first company). Keep in mind to first import
+the companies, and then the people.
+
+.. _essentials/update-data:
+
+Update data in Odoo
+===================
+
+Existing data can be updated in bulk through a data import, as long as the :ref:`External ID
+<essentials/external-id>` remains consistent.
+
+Prepare data export
+-------------------
+
+To update data through an import, first navigate to the data to be updated, and select the |list| to
+activate list view. On the far-left side of the list, tick the checkbox for any record to be
+updated. Then, click |actions|, and select :icon:`fa-upload` :guilabel:`Export` from the drop-down
+menu.
+
+On the resulting :guilabel:`Export Data` pop-up window, tick the checkbox labeled, :guilabel:`I want
+to update data (import-compatible export)`. This automatically includes the *External ID* in the
+export. Additionally, it limits the :guilabel:`Fields to export` list to **only** include fields
+that are able to be imported.
+
+.. note::
+   The :guilabel:`External ID` field does **not** appear in the :guilabel:`Fields to export` list
+   unless it is manually added, but it is still included in the export. However, if the :guilabel:`I
+   want to update data (import-compatible export)` checkbox is ticked, it is included in the export.
+
+Select the required fields to be included in the export using the :ref:`options <export-data>` on
+the pop-up window, then click :guilabel:`Export`.
+
+Import updated data
+-------------------
+
+After exporting, make any necessary changes to the data file. When the file is ready, it can be
+:ref:`imported <import-data>` by following the same process as a normal data import.
+
+.. danger::
+   When updating data, it is extremely important that the *External ID* remain consistent, as
+   this is how the system identifies a record. If an ID is altered, or removed, the system may add a
+   duplicate record, instead of updating the existing one.
