django-report-builder
A GUI for Django ORM. Build custom queries and display results. Targets sysadmins and capable end users who might not be able to program or gain direct interactive shell access.
Status
Maintained and feature-complete. This project is no longer accepting new features — the scope is what's already shipped, and that's the project's strength: it does what it does, well, without churn.
Bug reports are welcome, especially when paired with a fix. Issues opened without a reproduction or proposed patch will likely sit. Please open them on GitLab.
For the version history, see CHANGELOG.
What is Django Report Builder?
A staff-facing UI that lets users:
- Pick a root model, drag in display fields, and traverse related models several levels deep
- Add filters with the full set of Django ORM lookup types (
exact,gt,icontains,range,relative_range,isnull, regex, etc.) - Preview results in the browser and export to xlsx or csv
- Optionally hand off long-running exports to a background task queue
(Celery or
django-tasks) - Schedule reports to run on a recurring basis and email the results
- Trigger a report from a Django admin change-list as a global action
Report builder is intended for trusted staff users — access is gated on
is_staff, and the standard Django change/view permissions control who can
see existing reports.
