Known issues / Roadmap

• From Techical point of view, the high level implementation detail is as following

  1. on backend(Python), generate one record into model bus.bus(notification) when relevant model data updated(create/write/unlink) by calling the bus.sendone('channel','message') in overwritten method create/write/unlink
  2. on frontend(javascript), declare the event listener to handle the notification message, check to see whether the notification(message) is relevant for the current view/ user, if so auto refresh the view, either call reload(),do_reload(), or do_search_view_search()

• This module is designed as a generic solution, if only limited models need this kind of auto refresh function, in order to reduce the extra overhead(every call to create/write/unlink need to check whether notificaiton to be generated) introduced by this module, it is suggested to enhance the individual module accordingly.
