Does Django Admin Site have Subform?

Question

Say there're two tables:

table: Company field: ID, Company_Name

table: People field: ID, People_Name, Company_ID

I used to use MS Access, create a people form, a company form, then bind people form into company form as a "Subform".

Now I am learning Django. Are there any ways to achieve the similar function.

Thanks in advance.

If you mean to edit both Company and People from the same screen, yes, these are called "Inline forms" in Django.

For using them in the admin site, see:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#inlinemodeladmin-objects

For the more general case (in your own views), see:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#inline-formsets

eg (in yourapp/admin.py)

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Company, People

class PeopleInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = People

class CompanyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [
        PeopleInline,
    ]
