When creating the UI for the SQL view, it is now possible to set a specific Parent Menu which will be used when creating the UI Menu for the report itself. The default value will be the `SQL Reports` menu. Also, added the explanation on the `CONFIGURE.rst` file to have the description updated.

-
Go to Dashboard / Configuration / SQL Views
-
tip your SQL request
-
Select the group(s) that could have access to the view
Optionnaly, you can add a domain.
A tipical domain in a multi company context is to write
['|', ('company_id', '=', False), ('company_id', 'in', company_ids)]
to make reporting depending on the current companies of the user.
-
Click on the button 'Validate SQL Expression'
-
Once the sql request checked, the module analyses the column of the view, and propose field mapping. For each field, you can decide to create an index and set if it will be displayed on the pivot graph as a column, a row or a measure.
-
Click on the button 'Create SQL elements'. (this step could take a while, if view is materialized)
-
If it's a MATERIALIZED view:
- a cron task is created to refresh the view. You can so define the frequency of the refresh.
- the size of view (and the indexes is displayed)
-
Before applying the final step, you will need to add a specific Parent Menu to use when creating the UI Menu for the report. By default, it will be set with the
SQL Viewsmenu, which can be changed before creating the UI elements in order to have the report accessible from a different place within Odoo. -
Finally, click on 'Create UI', to create new menu, action, graph view and search view.
