Odoo auto create records on module install

Question

I'd like to make some products (data records) automatically when I install my module. Any ideas?

Is this possible from the views.xml?

Thanks.

Answer 1

For creating the demo data for the specific model try this link

• Demo data for product category.

• Demo data for payment_authorize.

Ensure these two thing:

1. Place noupdate="1" with the data tag.

2. Make it entry in openerp.py Like:

    'data': [       
       'data/my_demo_data.xml',       
    ],
