Configuration

Futuh relies on Odoo Community 19’s native Settings menu for almost all of its configuration. On top of that foundation, the custom modules (Radar, Silvio, Smart Inbox, Grant Management, Political Advocacy) add their own screens inside the same menu, grouped under the Futuh block.

The mental model: anything that affects your entire organization lives under Settings → General and Settings → Users & Companies; anything that affects only one Futuh module lives under Settings → Futuh → <module>.

What gets configured and where

Section titled “What gets configured and where”

The configuration screens relevant to a freshly deployed instance fall into four blocks.

Organization and users

Section titled “Organization and users”
  • Settings → General → Companies: your organization’s legal name, tax ID, registered address, logo. This is also where you enable multi-company mode if your instance groups more than one legal entity.
  • Settings → Users & Companies → Users: create users and assign permissions. See Create users and assign permissions.
  • Settings → Users & Companies → Groups: role hierarchy for teams with different responsibilities.

Language, timezone, accounting

Section titled “Language, timezone, accounting”
  • Settings → General → Languages: install and activate additional languages. Futuh modules ship translated into Spanish; French and English are loaded on demand.
  • Settings → General → Timezone: the organization’s default timezone. Each user can override it in their own profile.
  • Settings → Accounting: chart of accounts, fiscal years, and taxes. Futuh uses the native module without modifications; details live in the official Odoo 19 documentation.

Futuh modules

Section titled “Futuh modules”

They appear under Settings → Futuh once installed.

  • Settings → Futuh → Radar: active sources, suitability scoring weights, crons. Details in Configure Radar as an administrator.
  • Settings → Futuh → Smart Inbox: incoming channels, classification rules.
  • Settings → Futuh → Grant Management: project templates and document profiles per call.
  • Settings → Futuh → Political Advocacy: position catalog and link to federated parliamentary contacts.

AI and federation

Section titled “AI and federation”
  • Settings → Futuh → AI: AI model provider, automatic fallback, cost policy. See Configure the AI model.
  • Settings → Futuh → Silvio: active agents, knowledge sources they can read, and Tools they can invoke.
  • Settings → Futuh → Federation: connection to the Hub Central and synchronization frequency with its services. [VERIFY: exact name of the Federation screen in UI v0.1]
Section titled “Recommended order for a new instance”
  1. Organization data. Without this, invoices and emails go out with the default name.
  2. Users and groups. Before touching the Futuh modules, make sure users exist and have permissions. Access is granted by group.
  3. Basic accounting. Chart of accounts, current fiscal year, and taxes. Grant Management relies on these for its budgets and invoices.
  4. Active Futuh modules. Only the ones you need. Each one brings its own screen under Settings → Futuh.
  5. AI and federation. Last. The conversational layer makes sense only once data and users are already in place.

Why this layout

Section titled “Why this layout”

Keeping custom module configuration inside Odoo’s Settings menu rather than a separate panel is a deliberate design decision: your organization already knows this menu if it has ever used any Odoo instance, and we are not asking it to learn a second administrative interface. The Futuh block marks what belongs to the product without removing it from the familiar frame.

The separation between General and Futuh → <module> mirrors the canon rule for _tools modules: each module is responsible for its own configuration, with no global rules deciding for everyone.
