2. INTRODUCTION
❖ Odoo is one of the data-driven applications which are used for business management and
the vitality to describe the various aspects of company operational data is inevitable.
❖ We can begin with the module structure.
❖ The main part of module creation is the definition of different records which they will
manage.
❖ As we all know, Odoo greatly depends on data therefore, it needs to manage menus and
views of the user interface, access rights and access rules, different reports, and plain
data.

3. ❖ We can add data through XML and CSV files. Let's have a look at how we can define
data in Odoo via XML files.
❖ This is the root element of the data files. We can use many operation elements within
the root.
➢ noupdate - Whenever we are adding data we must need to give noupdate = 1,
since the contents of the file should be applied once when we install the module.

4. ❖ Next, we can move on to have a look at what are the core operations in a data file to
create a record.

5. ❖ A record tag in an XML file is used to define or update database records.The below are
some of the attributes of the record tag.
➢ Model: This attribute is used to mention the name of the model which we need to
create/update a record. That means we are going to create a record in this
model.
➢ ID: This indicates the external ID for the record. It will be used in record
modifications in the future.
❖ After adding the record go to your manifest file

6. ❖ Add created XML file in manifest like below.

7. ❖ Update your app list and install your module.

8. ❖ Now Go to your Employees module.

9. ❖ And here we will get newly added employee details.
