Hi,

I have a ModelAdmin (and also a LeftAndMain as I tried out several things) which contains several DataObjects. In the ModelAdmin this works absolutely as it should.

As the ModelAdmin manages several DataObjects I had the Idea of something like a Dashboard which I want to display, once a Backend User clicks on my ModelAdmin.

On this Dashboard I want to display for example some data from the DataObjects and give the user the possibility via a click to get directly to this DataObject.

But now the struggle start. What is a good way to implement this?
So far the only (and not nice way) i got it working, was to implement it via a new DataObject.

When I tried it via LeftAndMain I run into the issue that I had to overwrite the getEdit form and run then later into problems when I tried to access the geteditforms of the dataobject (which sub-urls which cant be handled).

I guess that there is already some kind of solution to this, but I was not able to really find something which gave me a good starting point.
Any Ideas are welcome.

Best regards,

Armin
