The Problem It Solves

The Django admin is an excellent tool for managing project activity: new orders, comments, users, feedback—everything is there. However, a common struggle is the need to constantly switch between different model pages just to check for new entries or monitor activity. django-controlcenter solves this by consolidating this information into a unified dashboard view.

Key Features

  • Flexible Data Sources: Widgets aren't limited to Django models. You can fetch data from any source: RDBMS, NoSQL databases, text files, or even external APIs.
  • Rich Widgets: Comes with a set of built-in widgets for displaying lists of items and beautiful charts.
  • Customizable Dashboards: Create multiple dashboards, each with its own set of widgets and layout.
  • Chart Integration: Beautiful, responsive charts powered by Chartist.js.
  • Seamless Django Admin Integration: Designed to look and feel like a natural part of the Django admin interface.
