# Viewsets

Viewsets are Wagtail's mechanism for defining a group of related admin views with shared properties, as a single unit. See [Generic views](../extending/generic_views).

## ViewSet

```{eval-rst}
.. autoclass:: wagtail.admin.viewsets.base.ViewSet

   .. autoattribute:: name
   .. autoattribute:: url_prefix
   .. autoattribute:: url_namespace
   .. automethod:: on_register
   .. automethod:: get_urlpatterns
   .. automethod:: get_url_name
   .. autoattribute:: icon
   .. autoattribute:: menu_icon

      Defaults to :attr:`icon`.

   .. autoattribute:: menu_label
   .. autoattribute:: menu_name
   .. autoattribute:: menu_order
   .. autoattribute:: menu_url

      Defaults to the first URL returned by :meth:`get_urlpatterns`.

   .. autoattribute:: menu_item_class
   .. autoattribute:: menu_hook
   .. autoattribute:: add_to_admin_menu
   .. autoattribute:: add_to_settings_menu
   .. automethod:: get_menu_item
```

## ViewSetGroup

```{eval-rst}
.. autoclass:: wagtail.admin.viewsets.base.ViewSetGroup

   .. attribute:: items
      :value: ()

      A list or tuple of :class:`~wagtail.admin.viewsets.base.ViewSet` classes or instances to be grouped together.

```

## ModelViewSet

```{eval-rst}
.. autoclass:: wagtail.admin.viewsets.model.ModelViewSet

   .. attribute:: model

   Required; the model class that this viewset will work with. The :attr:`~django.db.models.Options.model_name` will be used
   as the URL prefix and namespace, unless these are specified explicitly via the ``name``, ``url_prefix`` or
   ``url_namespace`` attributes.

   .. attribute:: form_fields

   A list of model field names that should be included in the create / edit forms.

   .. attribute:: exclude_form_fields

   Used in place of ``form_fields`` to indicate that all of the model's fields except the ones listed here should appear in the create / edit forms. Either ``form_fields`` or ``exclude_form_fields`` must be supplied (unless ``get_form_class`` is being overridden).

   .. automethod:: get_form_class

      Defaults to the title-cased version of the model's
      :attr:`~django.db.models.Options.verbose_name_plural`.
