When searching for a string that can be found in a TOC page's content, that page is listed in the search results. This is not a wanted behavior because TOC pages without the 'show-content' metadata directive are not supposed to be accessible. This commit adds a 'nosearch' metadata directive to all TOC pages without a 'show-content' metadata directive, hence removing them from search results. task-2527419

Users and Features
|
||
==================
|
||
|
||
As the administrator of your database, you are responsible for its usage.
|
||
This includes the Apps you install as well as the number of users currently
|
||
in use.
|
||
|
||
Odoo is many things (ERP, CMS, CRM application, e-Commerce backend, etc.)
|
||
but it is *not* a smartphone. You should apply caution when adding/removing
|
||
features (especially Apps) on your database since this may impact your
|
||
subscription amount significantly (or switch you from a free account
|
||
to a paying one on our online platform).
|
||
|
||
This section contains some information as to how you can manage your Odoo
|
||
instances. Before carrying any of these procedures, we **strongly** advise
|
||
to test them on a duplicate of your database first. That way, if something goes
|
||
wrong, your day-to-day business is not impacted.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: You can find guides on how to duplicate your databases both for
|
||
:ref:`online <duplicate_online>` and :ref:`on premise <duplicate_premise>`
|
||
installations.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: If you have questions about the content of this section or if you
|
||
encounter an issue while carrying out these procedures, please contact
|
||
us through our `support form <https://www.odoo.com/help>`__.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Deactivating Users
|
||
------------------
|
||
|
||
.. note:: Make sure you have sufficient **administrative rights** if
|
||
you want to change the status of any of your users.
|
||
|
||
In your Odoo instance, click on **Settings**. You will have a section
|
||
showing you the active users on your database. Click on **Manage Users.**
|
||
|
||
+----------------+----------------+
|
||
| |settings| | |browse_users| |
|
||
+----------------+----------------+
|
||
|
||
You'll then see the list of your users.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: general/list_users.png
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
.. note:: The pre-selected filter *Internal Users* shows your paying
|
||
users (different from the *Portal Users* which are free). If you
|
||
remove this filter, you'll get all your users (the ones you pay for
|
||
and the portal ones)
|
||
|
||
In your list of users, click on the user you want to deactivate. As soon
|
||
as you are on the userform, click on the Action drop down menu, and
|
||
then click on Archive.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: general/deactivate_user.png
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
|
||
The user is now deactivated.
|
||
|
||
.. danger:: **Never** deactivate the main user (*admin*)
|
||
|
||
Uninstalling Apps
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
.. warning:: Make sure you first test what you are about to do on a
|
||
:ref:`duplicate <duplicate_online>` of your database before making any
|
||
changes (*especially* installing/uninstalling apps).
|
||
|
||
In your Odoo instance click on **Settings**; in this app, you will be
|
||
able to see how many applications you have installed. Click on **Browse
|
||
Apps** to access the list of your installed applications.
|
||
|
||
+----------------+----------------+
|
||
| |settings| | |browse_apps| |
|
||
+----------------+----------------+
|
||
|
||
In your applications' dashboard, you will see all the icons of your
|
||
applications. Click on the application you want to uninstall. Then, on
|
||
the form of the application, click on **Uninstall**.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: general/uninstall.png
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
.. danger:: Some applications have dependencies, like Invoicing, eCommerce,
|
||
etc. Therefore, the system will give you a warning message to advise
|
||
you of what is about to be removed. If you uninstall your application,
|
||
all its dependencies will be uninstalled as well (and the data in them
|
||
will permanently disappear). If you are sure you still want to uninstall
|
||
it, then click **Confirm**.
|
||
|
||
Last, after having checked the warning message (if any), click **Confirm**.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: general/uninstall_deps.png
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
You have finished uninstalling your application.
|
||
|
||
Good to know
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
* **Uninstalling apps, managing users, etc. is up to you**: no one else can
|
||
know if your business flow is broken better than you. If we were to uninstall
|
||
applications for you, we would never be able to tell if relevant data had
|
||
been removed or if one of your business flow was broken because we *do not
|
||
know how you work* and therefore cannot validate these kinds of operations.
|
||
|
||
* **Odoo Apps have dependencies**: this means that you may need to install
|
||
modules that you do not actively use to access some features of Odoo
|
||
you might need. For example, the Website Builder app is needed to be
|
||
able to show your customer their Quotes in a web page. Even though you
|
||
might not need or use the Website itself, it is needed for the Online
|
||
Quotes feature to work properly.
|
||
|
||
* **Always test app installation/removal on a duplicate** (or on a
|
||
free trial database): that way you can know what other apps may
|
||
be required, etc. This will avoid surprises when uninstalling
|
||
or when receiving your invoices.

Activate the developer mode (debug mode)
|
||
========================================
|
||
|
||
The developer mode (or debug mode) gives you access to extra and advanced tools.
|
||
|
||
Through the Settings application
|
||
--------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Activate the developer mode`.

||
|

:alt: Overview of the debug options under settings in Odoo
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
*Activate the developer mode (with assets)* is used by developers; *Activate the developer mode
|
||
(with tests assets)* is used by developers and testers.
|
||
|
||
Once activated, the *Deactivate the developer mode* option becomes available.
|
||
|
||
Through a browser extension
|
||
---------------------------
|
||
|
||
| Go to the settings and extensions of your web browser, and search for *Odoo Debug*. Once the
|
||
extension is installed, a new icon will be shown on your toolbar.
|
||
| For the *Odoo Debug* extension, a single click enables a normal version of the mode, while a
|
||
double click enables it with assets. To deactivate it, use a single click.

Through the URL
|
||
---------------
|
||
|
||
In the URL add ``?debug=1`` or ``?debug=true`` after *web*.

.. tip::
|
||
Developers: type ``?debug=assets`` and activate the mode with assets.
|
||
|
||
Locate the mode tools
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
The Developer mode tools can be accessed from the *Open Developer Tools* button, located on the
|
||
header of your pages.

Mobile Push Notifications
|
||
=========================
|
||
|
||
As of Odoo 12.0, 13.0 or above, there is no more complex configuration to enable push
|
||
notifications in the mobile app.
|
||
|
||
Simply go to :menuselection:`Settings --> General Settings --> Odoo Cloud Notification (OCN)`
|
||
and make sure that **Push Notifications** is checked.
