Django-admin-tools-stats is a Django admin module that allows you to easily create charts on your dashboard based on specific models and criterias.

It will query your models and provide reporting and statistics graphs, simple to read and display on your Dashboard.

Django-admin-tools-stats is an open source project written in Python and using the Django Framework.

Overview¶

Django-admin-tools-stats is a Django application which powers dashboard modules with customer statistics and charts.

The goal of this project is to quickly interrogate your model data to provide reports and statistics graphs which are simple to read and can be used on a Dashboard.

Install, upgrade and uninstall django-nvd3.py with these commands:

$ sudo pip install django-admin-tools-stats
$ sudo pip install --upgrade django-admin-tools-stats
