I am attempting to avoid writing a custom admin page. There are at
most two people that will be updating the database, and this seems
like a great job for the django admin area.

However, for this to work I need a way to update a 2nd model (a
history table) when another model is updated. Is this possible? I was
hoping there would be a way to do it via model method, but have not
found anything yet.

Example:

Model 1 (hardware items):
id
date_modified
location
last_action
...many other fields...

Model 2 (history table):
hardware_id
location
action
date

The idea is to be able to look up a hardware item, then view its
history: what locations it has been to, dates and actions. I can in
theory have them update the history table every time an items status
changes, but I don't think that is a very friendly solution. It would
be nice to update the history table every time a hardware item was
changed. Better yet, every time a specific field in the hardware table
changed (such as location or last action).
