Every new project task is automatically assigned a unique, sequential reference number the moment it is created. No manual input, no duplicates, no gaps.
Why it matters: Teams can immediately reference tasks in conversations, emails, and documentation without creating naming conventions manually.
Define your own numbering format by setting custom prefixes (e.g., "TASK-", "DEV-"), suffixes, starting numbers, and step increments to match your organization's conventions.
Why it matters: Different departments or projects can use distinct numbering patterns, making cross-team identification intuitive and consistent.
A dedicated search box lets users locate any task instantly by entering its reference number. The search works globally across all projects within your Odoo instance.
Why it matters: Eliminates time spent scrolling through task lists or applying complex filters — go directly from reference number to task record in one step.
A dedicated button allows authorized users to manually update or regenerate a task's reference number when exceptions or corrections are needed.
Why it matters: Provides flexibility for edge cases — merged tasks, re-assigned work, or legacy records that need alignment with the new numbering system.
A single-click option regenerates reference numbers for all existing tasks at once, with a success notification confirming how many records were updated.
Why it matters: When migrating to this module or changing numbering conventions, you can apply the new pattern to your entire task history without touching individual records.
After bulk operations, the system displays clear notifications showing the count of updated records, confirming that the regeneration completed successfully.
Why it matters: Gives administrators confidence that batch operations executed correctly, reducing uncertainty and the need for manual verification.
