 Note that views that have nested or list serializers for their input won't work well with the `AdminRenderer`, as the HTML forms are unable to properly support them.
 
+**Note**: The `AdminRenderer` is only able to include links to detail pages when a properly configured `URL_FIELD_NAME` (`url` by default) attribute is present in the data. For `HyperlinkedModelSerializer` this will be the case, but for `ModelSerializer` or plain `Serializer` classes you'll need to make sure to include the field explicitly. For example here we use models `get_absolute_url` method:
+
+    class AccountSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
+        url = serializers.CharField(source='get_absolute_url', read_only=True)
+
+        class Meta:
+            model = Account
+

 **.media_type**: `text/html`
 
 **.format**: `'.admin'`
