How it works
Forest Admin consists of two components:
- The Admin Frontend is the user interface where you'll manage your data and configuration.
- The Admin Backend API hosted on your servers where you can find and extend your data models and all the business logic (routes, actions, …) related to your admin panel.

Features
CRUD
All of your CRUD operations are natively supported. The API automatically
supports your data models' validation and allows you to easily extend or
override any API routes' with your very own custom logic.
Search & Filters
Forest Admin has a built-in search allowing you to run basic queries to
retrieve your application's data. Set advanced filters based on fields and
relationships to handle complex search use cases.
Sorting & Pagination
Sorting and pagination features are natively handled by the Admin API. We're
continuously optimizing how queries are run in order to display results faster
and reduce the load of your servers.
Smart action
A smart action is a button which allows you to trigger an API call to execute
a custom logic. With virtually no limitations, you can extend the way you
manipulate data and trigger actions (e.g. refund a customer, apply a coupon,
ban a user, etc.)
Export
Sometimes you need to export your data to a good old fashioned CSV. Yes, we
know this can come in handy sometimes :-)
Segments
Get in app access to a subset of your application data by doing a basic search
or typing an SQL query or implementing an API route.
Dashboards
Forest Admin is able to tap into your actual data to chart out your metrics
using a simple UI panel, a SQL query or a custom API call.
WYSIWYG
The WYSIWYG interface saves you a tremendous amount of frontend development
time using drag'n'drop as well as advanced widgets to build customizable views.
Custom HTML/JS/CSS
Code your own views using JS, HTML, and CSS to display your application data in
a more appropriate way (e.g. Kanban, Map, Calendar, Gallery, etc.).
Team-based permissions
Without any lines of code, manage directly from the UI who has access or can
act on which data using a team-based permission system.
Third-party integrations
Leverage data from third-party services by reconciling it with your
application’s data and providing it directly to your Admin Panel. All your
actions can be performed at the same place, bringing additional intelligence to
your Admin Panel and ensuring consistency.
Notes & Comments
Assign your teammates to specific tasks, leave a note or simply comment a
record, thereby simplifying collaboration all across your organization.
Activity logs
Monitor each action executed and follow the trail of modification on any data
with an extensive activity log system.
