Throughout this chapter, we will assume that you have a database with the base addon installed and an empty Odoo addon module where you add XML code from the recipes to a data file referenced in the addon's manifest. Refer to Chapter 3, Creating Odoo Modules for how to activate changes in your addon.
This chapter covers all the UI elements that users are confronted with when they use anything other than the website part of Odoo. Historically, this basically was all of OpenERP, so also in an Odoo context, it is often just referred to as the web client. To be more specific, we will call this the backend as opposed to the website frontend.
