Advanced File Manager is a server-side file manager surface in WordPress admin: upload, copy, move, rename, edit, archive, delete. When the activity log is enabled, every operation is recorded with the acting user, the action type, the affected path, and a timestamp, so the audit trail lives in a structured table inside WordPress. The default admin offers a chronological log viewer, useful for incident response, but not great for answering shape questions, who is doing what, how the action mix breaks down, when the busy hours are.

SleekView Charts reads the activity log and joins it to the WordPress user table, then turns the answers into chart cards on one saved dashboard. A Number card counts operations in the last seven days. A Donut splits the mix across upload, rename, delete, move, and edit. A Horizontal Bar ranks users by operation count. An Area chart traces operations per day so the rhythm of file management work shows up as a readable line.

This is not a replacement for Advanced File Manager. The file manager continues to own the filesystem surface, the role-based access rules, and the actual log writes. SleekView Charts adds the reading layer the chronological log viewer does not lay out side by side, scoped per role and embeddable on a frontend page for stakeholders who need oversight without WordPress admin.

Advanced File Manager is one of the few plugins that puts the WordPress filesystem in front of administrators, which is powerful and exactly as dangerous as it sounds. The activity log records every operation with enough detail for incident response, but a chronological log is a poor surface for the shape questions an ops team asks weekly: is the right action mix happening, is the right user doing it, is the daily rhythm normal. SleekView Charts reads the activity log and turns those answers into a dashboard.

Ops sees the headline operation count and the action donut, security sees the per-user ranking, agencies embed a sanitised view for client oversight. The file manager keeps owning the filesystem and the access rules, the dashboard keeps owning the reading layer, and the audit trail finally tells a story instead of just listing events.
