Suppose you have a Book model as given below.

```python
# app_name/models.py

class Book(models.Model):
	...
	title = models.CharField(max_length=150)
	is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
```

And you just want to show the model which has `is_active=True` in the list view, here is how you do it.

```python
# app_name/admin.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.db import models
from app_name.models import Book

@admin.register(Book)
class BookAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
	...
	def get_queryset(self, request):
		queryset = super().get_queryset(request)
		new_queryset = queryset.filter(is_active=True)
		return new_queryset
```
