I am trying to place some buttons/div on top of a dashboard, but the view is not qweb and if I try to add a div it does not render it. How do I get it to add those buttons on top of that board?
try to open web development tools in your browser, and then try add div container manually. Then try to copy it in your odoo base.
if you want add a button, you can use this official tutorial from docs
, or try to search in your project "<button" for examples
