Odoo Add Button that should redirect to my Module View

Question

I am using a module similar to this one: HR Org Chart

I want to open the view by clicking on a button in Profile Section.

I referred here: Reference

I am getting this error:

Odoo Server Error

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I want to add a button in the Employee profile section which should open up the module chart view.

Trying something like this to add the button in my profile section:

<field name="inherit_id" ref="hr.view_employee_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
    <div id="o_work_employee_main" position="after">
        <div id="o_employee_right">
            <button name="%(hr_organization_chart.action_organizational_chart)d" type="action" string="Submit" />
        </div>
    </div>
</field>

Answer 1

The action_organizational_chart you want to reference from button is of type ir.ui.client which is not an action, its a view. You should first create an ir.actions.act_window action that reference to your view, and then reference your button to that action instead of your view.
