In Odoo, views define the way by which the models/objects are displayed to the user-end. Views are of several types, each view represents a mode of visualization. They make the modules more user-friendly and can vary according to the need. In Odoo we use several types of views such as tree, form, search, calendar, graph, pivot, Kanban, etc. As the name suggests each kind of view is different, the ‘tree’ view provides the list view of objects, the ‘Form’ view displays a single object, the ‘Search’ view helps to filter the objects, etc.
