Hi Mike Normally I have just used the functionality in a third-party admin "wrapper", for example, Django Suit (https://django-suit.readthedocs.io/en/develop/configuration.html#id1).
I see others such as Jet (https://jet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dashboard_custom_module.html) allow you to do the same. Maybe you can get some ideas from them? Basically you can create your own view and use that to display data in a template that inherits from, for example, the Django admin form template. A bit tricky first time but then it seems straightforward.
