The Logical tab of the Structure Tool Window illustrates the file structure from the framework point of view. It helps you understand the purpose of your file and its components in your project and shows meaningful connections with other pieces of the application.
The Logical tab displays the following:
Models, along with their fields and relationships to other models
Serializers (if a Django REST framework is installed), including nested or related serializers
Views and corresponding API endpoints
ModelAdmin classes managing the Django admin interface
Forms tied to models
Signals, such as
pre_saveorpost_deletehooks associated with modelsNested relationships, such as a serializer used within another serializer that is referenced in a view
