### Additional Models
In addition to the base NetBoxModel class, the following additional classes are provided for convenience.
!!! info "These model classes were added to the plugins API in NetBox v4.5."
#### PrimaryModel
PrimaryModel is the go-to class for most object types. It extends NetBoxModel with `description` and `comments` fields, and it introduces support for ownership assignment.
| Field | Required | Unique | Description |
|---------------|----------|--------|---------------------------------------------|
| `owner` | No | No | The object's owner |
| `description` | No | No | A human-friendly description for the object |
| `comments` | No | No | General comments |
#### OrganizationalModel
OrganizationalModel is used by object types whose function is primarily the organization of other objects.
| Field | Required | Unique | Description |
|---------------|----------|--------|---------------------------------------------|
| `name` | Yes | Yes | The name of the object |
| `slug` | Yes | Yes | A unique URL-friendly identifier |
| `owner` | No | No | The object's owner |
| `description` | No | No | A human-friendly description for the object |
#### NestedGroupModel
NestedGroupModel is used for objects which arrange into a recursive hierarchy (like regions and locations) via its self-referential `parent` foreign key.
| Field | Required | Unique | Description |
|---------------|----------|--------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| `name` | Yes | Yes | The name of the object |
| `slug` | Yes | Yes | A unique URL-friendly identifier |
| `parent` | No | No | The object (of the same type) under which this object is nested |
| `owner` | No | No | The object's owner |
| `description` | No | No | A human-friendly description for the object |
| `comments` | No | No | General comments |
## Database Migrations
Once you have completed defining the model(s) for your plugin, you'll need to create the database schema migrations. A migration file is essentially a set of instructions for manipulating the PostgreSQL database to support your new model, or to alter existing models. Creating migrations can usually be done automatically using Django's `makemigrations` management command. (Ensure that your plugin has been installed and enabled first, otherwise it won't be found.)

The default nested representation of an object is defined by the `brief_fields` attributes under the serializer's `Meta` class. (Older versions of NetBox required the definition of a separate nested serializer.)
In addition to the base NetBoxModelSerializer class, the following serializer classes are also available for subclasses of standard base models.
| Model Class | Serializer Class |
|-----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| `PrimaryModel` | `netbox.api.serializers.PrimaryModelSerializer` |
| `OrganizationalModel` | `netbox.api.serializers.OrganizationalModelSerializer` |
| `NestedGroupModel` | `netbox.api.serializers.NestedGroupModelSerializer` |
#### Example
To create a serializer for a plugin model, subclass `NetBoxModelSerializer` in `api/serializers.py`. Specify the model class and the fields to include within the serializer's `Meta` class.

### Table Configuration
The NetBoxTable class features dynamic configuration to allow users to change their column display and ordering preferences. To configure a table for a specific request, simply call its `configure()` method and pass the current HTTPRequest object. For example:
