I have a many-to-many relationship between two models, People and Entities (enities are departments and offices etc).
Some of these relationships are managed by the user in admin, but others are implicit. For example, if the user adds John to the Laser Research Lab Administrative Office, it means that John is also a member of the Laser Research Lab. This is because the Entities are in a hierarchy, and being a member of one means being a member of its parent. Because there will be thousands of people and hundreds of entities, I can see that my present functions to find out what members an entity has, or what entities someone is a member of, will involve lots of looping. I would rather assemble this information only when the user makes a change to the admin, and for each person have a list of entities that can quickly be read off, and vice-versa for the entities. I think this means that I need to add a routine to my admin.py so that when the user hits Save, it will also manually assemble the information and save it for the affected models. Is that correct? If so, what is doing this called, so I can look it up in the documentation?
