In this course, you will learn the basics of the Django Admin interface, a great tool to build a powerful admin interface quickly for your Django project. 

First, you will learn how to automatically generate the admin interface for your Django models, how to populate fake data, and then search or filter data with some advice to improve performance. 

Next, you will see how to extend the functionalities of the admin interface such as adding custom fields, add intermediate pages, or creating custom actions like exporting data in CSV format.

After that, you will also explore basic and advanced UI customization such as adding charts or modifying the index page.Finally, you will have a look at the Django admin rights permission management.

The Django Admin for Web Developers

# Displaying the model

You learned how to populate the database in the previous lesson. Now you will see the populated databases in your Django Admin Page.

If you click on the `The Authors` link on your admin page, will it show the data in our `Author` database table, but it will only show the name of the author. What about the other fields, such as the `creationDate` or `updatedDate`?

To display them, you will have to create a new class `AuthorAdmin`, which will inherit `admin.ModelAdmin` in the `admin.py` and register this new class.

```python
from django.contrib import admin
from sample_app.models import *

class AuthorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fieldsets = [
        (None, {'fields': ['name']}),
    ]
    list_display = ('name','createdDate','updatedDate',)

## Register your models here.
admin.site.register(Author, AuthorAdmin)
admin.site.register(Question)
admin.site.register(Choice)
```

Or you can use the keyword `@admin.register` like this (in this case, you will need to remove the line `admin.site.register(Author, AuthorAdmin)` from the above snippet):

```python
...

@admin.register(Author)
class AuthorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

...
```
The `list_display` contains all the attributes that will be displayed on the Admin Page for that model. Don't worry about the working of `fieldsets`, as we will see what it does in the next lesson. 

By default, Django admin paginates results by 100. You can change this behaviour by setting a `list_per_page` value (e.g., `list_per_page = 50`) in your model admin class.
