In Short
Task Auto Numbering and Search is an Odoo 19 Project app. The tool to quickly access and simply reference tasks by automatic numbers. Project tasks sequence. Project task numbering.
Saying "the task about the invoice" in chat and tickets quickly turns into confusion. Task Auto Numbering and Search gives every project task a unique, human-readable reference the moment it is created — and a systray search so project users open that task from anywhere in Odoo.
Configure prefixes, suffixes, padding, and steps with a standard Odoo sequence. Optionally prepend a project code so references look like OPS/042. Numbers appear on kanban, list, form, and the customer portal, so internal teams and external clients share the same short reference.
Perfect for
Project teams
Stop hunting by title or database ID. Quote a short task number in standups, email, and Slack, then open it from the systray in one Enter.
Client-facing delivery
Portal users see the same reference numbers as your team, so support and project updates stay unambiguous across the company boundary.
Multi-project orgs
Keep numbering unique across projects, and optionally include a project code so references stay readable without losing uniqueness.

Why teams choose it
Key benefits before you dive into the details
Numbers on create
Every new task gets a reference automatically from your sequence — no manual typing, no forgotten IDs.
Your sequence rules
Set prefix, suffix, padding, and steps. Include month or year when you want period-based codes.
Optional project code
Turn on project codes in settings to build references like OPS/042 from the project Task Code plus the task number.
Systray quick search
Project users type a number in the top bar from any screen. One match opens the form; several open a filtered kanban.
Visible everywhere
References show on kanban, list, and form views, and replace bare task IDs in the portal for clearer client communication.
Unique references
Numbering is consecutive across projects and companies, so two teams never share an ambiguous "task 12".

Configurable task numbering
Sequence rules, project codes, and bulk refresh
References come from a standard Odoo ir.sequence. Shape the format once in Project settings, then every new task follows those rules. When you change the pattern, you can refresh numbers for all tasks, one project, or a single task.
Sequence setup
- Open Configure sequence rules from Project settings
- Set prefix, suffix, padding, and step like any Odoo sequence
- Include the current month or year when period-based codes help
- New tasks receive the next value automatically on create
Project codes & refresh
- Optional setting: put the project Task Code before the task number
- Example shape: project code + short number → OPS/042
- Refresh all tasks from settings, one project from the project form, or a single task
- Refresh actions redefine existing references — use deliberately (developer mode)

Instant search and clear references
Systray lookup, backend views, and portal
A number only helps if people can find and quote it. Project users get a dedicated search in the top bar, and the same reference shows wherever the task appears — including shared portal pages.
One-Enter task search
- Systray field available from any Odoo backend screen
- Exact one match → opens the task form immediately
- Several matches → opens a kanban filtered by that reference
- Available to project users so daily work stays one shortcut away
Shown where work happens
- Reference column/field on kanban, list, and form views
- Portal task pages and lists show the number instead of a bare database ID
- Clients and teammates can quote the same short code in messages
- Unique across projects so "task 042" means one thing in the company
