Models tab
List of Odoo models availble for the Confluence application when using the macro to select the Odoo record, see HERE
Not all models make sense to a user in Confluence, so it can be useful to limit what can be searched in Confluence.
There are three ways to limit the list of models:
- None: there is no limit, all models are available
- Blacklist: all models except for the listed models are available
- Whitelist: only the listed models are available
The actually available models depend on the Odoo user's permisssion!
This list only controlls what is made available for the application for listing purposes!
Users can still perform operations in models related to the listed models if they have the appropriate permissions in Odoo!

| Model Description | The human readable name of the model in Odoo | This is what users see when using the macro |
