Re "So my need is for a fixed vertical sidebar with the same links which take you to the same list pages."This is what I use Django Suit for - it can be located at the top or side and remains in place across all admin pages. You can add your own items to the menu (and these can point to non-admin pages - for example, I point to a page of report URLs which is a non-standard admin page) ; I have never added menu items "on the fly" so am not sure this is possible.
Django suit looks interesting, thanks for that. I'll dig a little deeper but first I have a related question for which I'll start another thread after I reach a probable dead end in my current digging.

I cannot understand your requirement statement "When that page opens for the record, the sidebar of links should change to the named headings on that page. When a heading is clicked the page should relocate itself so that heading is at the top" at all, sorry. Maybe a follow-up post with a picture (== 1000 words)?Derek On Monday, 3 May 2021 at 08:57:25 UTC+2 Mike Dewhirst wrote: OK - I've now looked at some Django Admin templating systems and they all seem to solve a different problem than the one I need to ... which is ... Consider the Admin main menu seen at the /admin url after login. If you click any of the links they take you to a single page with a list of records. So my need is for a fixed vertical sidebar with the same links which take you to the same list pages. The vertical sidebar should remain unchanged and unmoved on the list page in case the user clicked the wrong link. The next step is to select a record from the list. When that page opens for the record, the sidebar of links should change to the named headings on that page. When a heading is clicked the page should relocate itself so that heading is at the top. The sidebar of links should remain unchanged and unmoved in case the user wishes to relocate to a different heading. Much like the Django documentation except the sidebar should stay where it was when clicked! At the moment, those headings don't have urls within the page. And the (Show/Hide) urls are all just a lone hash '#'. Therefore my problem is to understand how to include heading name anchors and construct a list of urls (including 'top' and bottom') for such a sidebar. And of course to understand how to make such a sidebar in the first place. Where might I begin my research?
