**Odoo** is a suite of open source business apps that cover all your company needs: :doc:`CRM
|
||
<sales/crm>`, :doc:`eCommerce <websites/ecommerce>`, :doc:`accounting <finance/accounting>`,
|
||
:doc:`inventory <inventory_and_mrp/inventory>`, :doc:`point of sale <sales/point_of_sale>`,
|
||
:doc:`project management <services/project>`, etc. Its unique value proposition is to be at the same
|
||
time *very easy* to use and *fully integrated*.
|
||
|
||
This section of the documentation covers all functional aspects that aren't app-specific. You can
|
||
find, for example, information about:
|
||
|
||
- :doc:`general/users` and :doc:`general/users/access_rights`, to configure each user correctly.
|
||
- :doc:`general/export_import_data`, to transfer data from and to other environments than Odoo or
|
||
update data.
|
||
- :doc:`general/payment_acquirers`, to allow your customers to pay with their favorite payment
|
||
method.
|
||
- :doc:`general/auth/google`, as an authentication method.
|
||
|
||
.. important::
|
||
- | **Installing or uninstalling apps, managing users, etc., is up to you.**
|
||
| As the administrator of your database, you are responsible for its usage, as you know best
|
||
how your organization works. This includes the installation or uninstallation of :ref:`apps
|
||
<general/apps-modules>` as well as the number of :doc:`users <general/users>` currently in
|
||
use.
|
||
- | **Odoo apps have dependencies.**
|
||
| Installing some apps and features with dependencies may also install additional apps and
|
||
modules that are technically required, even if you won't actively use them.
|
||
- | **Always test app installation/removal on a duplicate of your database.**
|
||
| This way, you can know what app dependencies may be required or what data may be erased.

Apps and modules
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
You can :ref:`install <general/install>`, :ref:`upgrade <general/upgrade>` and :ref:`uninstall
|
||
<general/uninstall>` all apps and modules from the :menuselection:`Apps` dashboard.
|
||
|
||
By default, an *Apps* filter is applied. If you want to search for modules (including :doc:`Fiscal
|
||
Localization Packages
|
||
<finance/accounting/fiscal_localizations/overview/fiscal_localization_packages>`), click on
|
||
*Filters* and select *Extra*.

|
||
|
||
.. warning::
|
||
Odoo is *not a smartphone*, and its apps shouldn't be installed or uninstalled carelessly. Apply
|
||
caution when adding or removing apps and modules on your database since this may impact your
|
||
subscription costs.
|
||
|
||
.. _general/install:
|
||
|
||
Install apps and modules
|
||
------------------------
|
||
|
||
Go to :menuselection:`Apps`, and click on the *Install* button of the app you want to install.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
If the module you are looking for is not listed, you can **update the app list**.
|
||
|
||
To do so, activate the :ref:`developer mode <developer-mode>`, then go to :menuselection:`Apps
|
||
--> Update Apps List` and click on *Update*.
|
||
|
||
.. _general/upgrade:
|
||
|
||
Upgrade apps and modules
|
||
------------------------
|
||
|
||
On some occasions, new improvements or app features are added to :doc:`supported versions of Odoo
|
||
</services/support/supported_versions>`. To be able to use them, you must **upgrade** your app.
|
||
|
||
Go to :menuselection:`Apps`, click on the *dropdown menu* of the app you want to upgrade, then on
|
||
*Upgrade*.
|
||
|
||
.. _general/uninstall:
|
||
|
||
Uninstall apps and modules
|
||
--------------------------
|
||
|
||
Go to :menuselection:`Apps`, click on the *dropdown menu* of the app you want to uninstall, then on
|
||
*Uninstall*.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: general/uninstall.png
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
Some apps have dependencies, meaning that one app requires another. Therefore, uninstalling one app
|
||
may uninstall multiple apps and modules. Odoo warns you which dependant apps and modules are
|
||
affected by it.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: general/uninstall_deps.png
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
To complete the uninstallation, click on *Confirm*.
|
||
|
||
.. danger::
|
||
Uninstalling an app also uninstalls all its dependencies and permanently erases their data.
|
||
|
||
.. _developer-mode:
|
||
|
||
Activate the developer mode (debug mode)
|
||
========================================
|
||
|
||
The developer mode (or debug mode) gives you access to extra and advanced tools.
|
||
|
||
Through the Settings
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
Go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Activate the developer mode`.

|
||
|
||
.. 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.

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

|
||
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.
