It doesn't provide any additional functionality when installed alone. You should use it in the developing of other modules which might favor of the functionality provided. It allows you to get time dependent parameters from any model in Odoo. The functionality is useful for cases when you have static parameters values which changes depending of the date of the record or todays date.</p> <p><strong>Table of contents</strong></p> <div class="contents local topic" id="contents"> <ul class="simple"> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#usage" id="id1">Usage</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#bug-tracker" id="id2">Bug Tracker</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#credits" id="id3">Credits</a><ul> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#authors" id="id4">Authors</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#contributors" id="id5">Contributors</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#maintainers" id="id6">Maintainers</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <a name="usage"></a> <h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">Usage</a></h2> <p>First give your user the access right &quot;Manage Time Parameters&quot;.
