Use of odoo resources, not users

[cameronp]

Hi there - Is there a reason you used users, instead of the resource for the model in odoo?

This has caused some issues in our usage, in regards to the models in odoo:

some employees are users, but not all
all employees inherit from the resources model

This would allow greater flexibility too, since all resources are not necessarily human. You could schedule a expensive piece of machinery etc, which can also be a resource in odoo.

Resources also have a working time which basically maps to calendar in bryntum. Could this also be included instead of being hard coded into the config of the gantt?

Thanks

Hi,

We agree. This is high on our list, we want to have a dependency on the Employee model.

This will be probably a new module with histogram included. ETA hopefully before November.

Hmm, I don't think its necessary to have the dependency on that, you could just use resources as the dependency. Every employee / user is already a resource (base class)

Good point! In that case maybe we can add this to the Gantt Pro View solution as well.
