About sticky notes


Sticky Notes is an Odoo app that allows you to add stickers to any form view to always remember important information.

There is no need to stick notes all around your computer or working space, everything is done right inside Odoo.

The entry for the view is located in user preferences. To open it, click on your name in the top right corner and choose 'My profile' or 'Preferences' depending on the apps installed.
