How to create a 10 months educational trial environment ?
As part of this course, we will be exploring some of the business suite applications within Odoo. To do so, you need a functional test environment. Artevelde University College has an educational agreement with Odoo which gives you access to a 10 month test environment. After 10 months, your student data will be deleted - take this in account !
Creating your first database
Your teacher will have created your first database! When this is done, you should receive an activation mail. In case you didn’t receive this email, please contact your teacher. You don’t have much time to accept the invite! The mail looks like this:
You will be prompted to set a password:
You will now see following screen (it is possible you see different apps – this depends on what the teacher has set up for you.) You are administrator for your database, so you wil be able to add yourself extra application and you will be able to modify most settings.
Please DON’T use Internet Explorer for the remainder of the activities. IE has limitations which are not issue for Firefox or for Chrome.
Adding students to your group
If you want to add students to your team, you can do so yourself. This is only needed if there are changes to your team. Your teacher will have created already a team based upon the teamcomposition you had reported.
- Click “settings”
- Type the mail address of the student you want to invite below the “invite new users” title.
- Hit Invite
You should now get this:
Click the name under Pending invitations, in order to further complete his account settings. In the mean time, the person you invited will now receive an account activation mail. He/She needs to click this!
The account settings you can access by clicking the mail address under “Pending invitations” looks like this:
- First hit the “EDIT” buttion on the top left corner. Now give the student (or your “employee”) the correct access rights. Lets take this example:
- We make him “Sales Manager”, in accounting he can only book, in human resources he is just an amployee, the website he can modify at his will and he can manage the settings for this database.
- Have also a look at the tab “Preferences”. Please set there the timezone right matching your location
- Don’t forget to hit the “SAVE” button on the top left corner, or nothing of your account modifications will be applied!
Activity step 0: Activate your account
- Your teacher will have created an account based upon the groups you have formed. Your teacher has done this 21 or 22 March 2018.
- If you haven't received a mail, your group partner has.
- Test databases are named edu-ahs-S2-18 followed by the klassgroup (K01 or K02 and a group number. Remember which is yours
- Click the activation mail
- Set the pasword
- Stop using Internet Explorer or Safari if you are using that one as browser. Go for Chrome, Firefox, ... You will run into technical problems if you use other browsers in the next activity steps.
- Log in at www.odoo.com with your school account and the password you have set, this will bring you into your database.
- Check if your team members have access to the database. You might have to add them yourself. You find the description on how to do this in this chapter. Don't forget to give them enough rights!
