Yes, Odoo can display 1000 records in the list view. However, the default limit is 80 records. To display 1000 records, you need to change the limit.

There are two ways to change the limit:

1. Using the UI:
   • Go to the list view of the model that you want to display 1000 records for.
   • In the top right corner of the list view, you will see a field that says "1-80 of 1000".
   • Click on this field and enter "1000".
   • Press Enter.
   Odoo will now display the first 1000 records in the list view.
2. Using code:
   • Open the list view of the model that you want to display 1000 records for in Studio.
   • In the Studio editor, click on the Code tab.
   • Find the line of code that says limit="80".
   • Replace "80" with "1000".
   • Save your changes.
   • Click on the Update button.
   Odoo will now display the first 1000 records in the list view.

Note: Changing the limit to 1000 may have an impact on the performance of your Odoo instance, especially if you have a large number of records in your database. If you are experiencing performance problems, you may need to reduce the limit or use a different method to display the records that you need.

The keyboard shortcut to reveal the Command Palette in Odoo is Ctrl + K.

The Command Palette is a powerful tool that allows you to quickly access any Odoo feature or action, regardless of where you are in the application. It is especially useful for quickly finding and executing commands that you use frequently.

To use the Command Palette, simply press Ctrl + K to open it. Then, start typing the name of the command or action that you want to find. As you type, the Command Palette will start to filter the results. Once you see the command or action that you want, simply press Enter to execute it.

You can also use the Command Palette to find and execute specific menu items, views, and reports. For example, to open the Sales Order list view, you could type "Sales Order List" in the Command Palette and then press Enter.

The Command Palette is a great way to save time and be more efficient when using Odoo.

The main difference between a message discussion and a log note in the chatter in Odoo is that a message discussion is meant to be shared with other users, while a log note is for internal use only.

Message discussions are sent to all followers of the document, which is typically a group of users who are interested in collaborating on or tracking the document. Message discussions can be used to ask questions, share updates, and discuss the document in general.

Log notes are only visible to the user who created them. They can be used to track the progress of the document, make notes about changes, or record any other information that the user needs to keep track of.

Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between message discussions and log notes in Odoo chatter:

Here are some examples of when you might use each feature:

• Message discussion:
  • You are collaborating on a sales order with a team of users and need to discuss the next steps.
  • You are asking for feedback on a new marketing campaign.
  • You are notifying your team of a change to a project schedule.
• Log note:
  • You are tracking the progress of a customer support ticket.
  • You are making notes about the changes you are making to a document.
  • You are recording the reason why you are making a particular decision.

1. Open the customer record.
2. Click on the Activities tab.
3. Click on the New button.

When an opportunity is marked as "Lost" in Odoo, the following happens:

• The opportunity is removed from the sales pipeline.
• The opportunity's status is changed to "Lost."
• The opportunity's probability is set to 0%.
• The opportunity is archived.

Archiving the opportunity means that it will no longer be visible in the main sales pipeline view. However, it can still be accessed by searching for it or by going to the Archived view.

Marking an opportunity as "Lost" is a way of closing the opportunity and tracking the reasons why it was lost. This information can be used to improve the sales process in the future.

Here are some examples of reasons why an opportunity might be marked as "Lost":

• The customer chose a competitor's product or service.
• The customer's budget changed.
• The customer's needs changed.
• The customer was not qualified.
• The salesperson was unable to close the deal.

If you mark an opportunity as "Lost" in Odoo, it is important to record the reason why it was lost. This information can be used to improve the sales process in the future.

Odoo calculates the probability for leads using a predictive lead scoring model. This model takes into account a number of factors, including:

• The lead's industry
• The lead's company size
• The lead's job title
• The lead's source (e.g., website, webinar, referral)
• The lead's stage in the sales pipeline
• The lead's activity level

Odoo uses this information to train a machine learning model that can predict the probability of each lead converting into a customer. The more data that Odoo has, the more accurate the predictions will be.

Odoo also allows you to customize the lead scoring model to fit your specific sales process. For example, you can add or remove factors from the model, or you can give different factors more or less weight.

To view the lead scoring model, go to the CRM module and click on the Settings tab. Then, click on the Lead Scoring tab.

To customize the lead scoring model, click on the Edit button. You can then add or remove factors from the model, or you can give different factors more or less weight.

Once you have customized the lead scoring model, click on the Save button.

Once the lead scoring model has been trained, Odoo will automatically calculate the probability for each lead. This information will be displayed in the lead's profile.

The probability score can be used to prioritize leads and focus your sales efforts on the leads that are most likely to convert into customers.
