Odoo 16 Studio Book - Creating Views

Form view displays data from a single record in a form format. Users can create and customize the view by adding, removing, or rearranging fields.

Here’s an example of the default form view. We can likely edit this form by deleting the existing fields and adding new fields based on our requirements. Under the ‘Add’ tab on the left, we can see different field types and components. By dragging and dropping these fields to form, anyone can create a form view as per requirements.

‘Text’: The field type ‘Text’ is used to create a text field by dragging and dropping wherever you want to display it in the form. Using the label field, we can provide the field name, and we can also choose the widget type, add a default value to display the field, also limit visibility only to particular groups.
