How to set up model configurations for Oregional REST API.
Model configurations allow to refine how a model should be made available to a remote application.
Highlights:
- add an icon to the model that can be sent to the remote application to help users visually to identify quickly the type of odoo record they see on a Confluence page
- change the display name of the model, eg: for res.partner instead of "Contacts" you might want to display "Partners" in Confluence
- limit the list of fields that can be displayed in Confluence (you might not want to allow certain sensitive fields to be able to be queried from Confluence)
- link a model configuration to any model scheme
The app is shipped with the Default partner configuration scheme to give you an idea about this feature.

Fields tab
Fields for the selected model that are allowed to be used in Confluence.
There are three ways to limit the list of fields:
- None: there is no limit, all fields are available
- Blacklist: all fields except for the listed fields are available
- Whitelist: only the listed fields are available
Not all fields make sense or advised to be used in Confluence, but it is up to you, what you allow. Just give it some thoughts before allowing all fields.
