Features

• Dashboards and components - Build custom dashboards and admin pages using reusable cards, charts, buttons, and other UI components for data-rich interfaces.
• Advanced filtering - Dropdown, autocomplete, text, numeric, date range, checkbox, radio, and facet filters for more powerful and flexible changelists.
• Flexible actions - Add global, row-level, detail, submit, and dropdown actions with custom permissions, styles, and flexible placement options across the admin.
• Navigation and tabs - Customize the sidebar and organize models, fieldsets, and inlines using flexible tab navigation and layout options for complex interfaces.
• Enhanced forms and inlines - Conditional fields, sortable and paginated inlines, WYSIWYG editing, ArrayField widgets, and django-crispy-forms support for richer admin forms.
