# Date Range

This module lets you define global date ranges that can be used to filter your values in tree views.

It also provides a mixin model for developers that extends the model’s search view so that date ranges can be search as any relational field.

# Installation

The addon use the daterange method from postgres. This method is supported as of postgresql 9.2

# Configuration

For regular usage, see Usage below. This section is to clarify optional functionality to developers.

To configure a model to use the Many2one style search field, make the model inherit from date.range.search.mixin:

    class AccountMove(models.Model):
        _name = "account.move"
        _inherit = ["account.move", "date.range.search.mixin"]

This will make a Period field show up in the search view:

By default, the mixin works on the date field. If you want the mixin to work on a field with a different name, you can set a property on your model:

    _date_range_search_field = "invoice_date"

# Usage

To configure this module, you need to:

- Go to Settings > Technical > Date ranges > Date Range Types where you can create types of date ranges.

- Go to Settings > Technical > Date ranges > Date Ranges where you can create date ranges.

  It’s also possible to launch a wizard from the ‘Generate Date Ranges’ menu.

  The wizard is useful to generate recurring periods. Set an end date or enter the number of ranges to create.

- Your date ranges are now available in the search filter for any date or datetime fields

  Date range types are proposed as a filter operator

  Once a type is selected, date ranges of this type are porposed as a filter value

  And the dates specified into the date range are used to filter your result.

- You can configure date range types with default values for the generation wizard on the Generation tab. In the same tab you can also configure date range types for auto-generation. New ranges for types configured for this are generated by a scheduled task that runs daily.
