The KDE client handles this nicely: if the query returns less than 80 records (one page*) it automatically shows the sum; else it shows an "update totals" hyperlink-like caption.
* Koo does dynamic paging of records, so there are no "next"/"previous" buttons on lists. -- XML "Sum" function summarizes only "visible" rows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392045 You received this bug notification because you are a member of C2C OERPScenario, which is subscribed to OpenERP OpenObject. Status in OpenObject Server: Incomplete Status in OpenObject Server trunk series: Incomplete Bug description: I'ts sort of a critical wishlist to provide "save" usage of the system. the XML "sum" functions sum up ONLY the visible rows. if more than 80 (default) rows are availabe the "sum" only shows the sum of the first 80 rows , after forward the sum of the next set of rows etc the fields in ./addons/account/account_view.xml ./addons/account_followup/followup_view.xml are called "Total Debit/Credit" suggesting it's a Total, but might only be a "Subtotal" for the displayed rows. IMHO it is very important to remove this sort of sum and replace it with "Sums" representing the Sums of the context. Example Partner -> Receivables and Payables The accountant needs to see the balance (which I added in https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-addons/+bug/358584) For now I'd strongly suggest to disable the display of "sum's" unless all records are displayed. To display all records I suggest a button "Display all Records" instead of fiddling around increasing the limit to # records BTW I like the idea that the "sum" function can be used to add up selected/marked records. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
