Articles quick search and use FAQ


How to show articles for a definite document type, e.g. sales order or helpdesk ticket?

Create a new tag (e.g. 'odoo / helpdesk'). In the table 'Applied to' use a required model (e.g. 'helpdesk ticket') or use it for all documents (the check box 'Apply to all documents'). As advanced option you can apply filters: for example, to show articles only for 'new' tickets, not for 'in progress' ones

Assign this tag for required articles (for a few articles use the mass action)
