SleekView Charts for Carbon Fields
Read directly from postmeta, termmeta, usermeta, and the options table where Carbon Fields stores _carbon_-prefixed values, then chart coverage, distribution, and freshness across every record.

Carbon Fields stores the values, charts give them a summary
Carbon Fields is registered in code, not through a UI, but the values live in standard WordPress meta tables under _carbon_-prefixed keys. A landing page might have a hero CTA, a featured flag, a region select, and a few repeater rows, all sitting in postmeta next to the post they belong to. Termmeta, usermeta, and the options table follow the same convention. The default WordPress admin shows none of this without custom column code, and no reporting layer of any kind ships with the plugin.
SleekView Charts pivots those keys into chart sources. A Number card pins the count of records with a populated hero CTA. A Pie shows the distribution of a region select across all landing pages. A Bar ranks pages by repeater row count. An Area card plots last-modified dates so content freshness becomes a trendline rather than a manual audit.
Carbon Fields registers across four scopes (posts, terms, users, options) and SleekView reads all four. Charts respect the same filters as the SleekView table view, so one saved configuration covers both the audit table and the leadership-facing summary. Hooks attached to simple keys keep firing on edits made through the SleekView table because writes go through standard meta APIs.

Comparison
Default Carbon Fields reporting vs SleekView Charts
Default Carbon Fields setup
- Carbon Fields ships no reporting or summary surface of any kind
- Cross-record coverage is invisible without opening each post
- Termmeta, usermeta, and options-table values have no list UI
- Auditing missing keys means writing one-off WP_Query calls
- Complex fields (repeaters, associations) need custom counting code
SleekView Charts
- Number cards for populated-record counts per Carbon Fields key
- Pie or Donut cards for select, radio, and boolean field distributions
- Bar cards ranking records by repeater row count or association count
- Area or Line cards for content-freshness trends by last modified
- Same field-value filters as the SleekView table apply to every card
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Carbon Fields
_carbon_ meta as chart sources
Underscore-prefixed keys in postmeta, termmeta, usermeta, and the options table become chart group-by candidates. The in-code schema stays the source of truth and the dashboard mirrors it.
All four scopes covered
Posts, terms, users, and theme options all use Carbon Fields. The chart layer reads each from the right meta or options table without extra setup or schema sync.
Filters carry across cards
Set a content-model scope or missing-value filter once and every chart card on the dashboard respects it. The same configuration drives the audit table and the summary view.
Audience
Who builds Carbon Fields charts dashboards with SleekView
Editors
Coverage at a glance: how many landing pages still need a hero CTA, how many promos are flagged featured, and which pages are about to ship without a region set.
Developers
Audit field coverage during schema migrations. When a container is renamed or split, a single chart dashboard shows which records still hold values under the old keys.
Marketing ops
Track rollout progress across regions, count records flagged for the next campaign, and chart edit-frequency over time. No custom plugin code, no spreadsheet pivots.
The bigger picture
Why Carbon Fields needs a chart audit layer
Carbon Fields is built for developers who want their schema in code: registered through PHP, version-controlled with the rest of the codebase, deployed alongside the theme. That's a strength when the schema is part of the engineering contract, but it leaves a reporting-layer gap. The post edit screen renders fields beautifully one record at a time, and that's where the plugin's experience ends.
There is no built-in cross-post view, no chart surface, no way to count which landing pages have an empty hero CTA without writing a one-off WP_Query. Termmeta, usermeta, and theme-options values have no list UI at all. SleekView Charts fills that audit and summary gap without changing how Carbon Fields works.
Keys stay where they are, hooks keep firing on simple edits made through the SleekView table, and complex types still belong on the post edit screen. What changes is that editors, developers, and marketing ops finally have a way to see coverage, distribution, and freshness across every record at once.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Carbon Fields
Directly from postmeta, termmeta, usermeta, and the options table where Carbon Fields stores its underscore-prefixed values. No shadow copy, no export pipeline. Chart cards run live queries against the same meta keys Carbon Fields writes.
Yes. Carbon Fields is registered in PHP rather than through a UI, but the values still live in standard meta tables. The chart layer reads whichever keys you surface, so the in-code schema stays the source of truth and the dashboard mirrors what's already in postmeta, termmeta, usermeta, or the options table.
Simple types (text, select, checkbox) chart directly as group-by candidates. Complex repeaters and associations expose a row count or linked-item count that SleekView reads as a numeric value, so a Bar card grouped by post ranks records by their repeater density or association count.
Both are supported. Build a terms or users chart view and surface Carbon Fields keys exactly as you would for posts. A users-by-role distribution chart driven by a Carbon Fields select key is one card configuration, not a custom dashboard plugin.
Yes. A built-in filter scopes the chart to records with empty or missing values for a given key, useful for migration audits and catching content about to ship without all its fields populated. Combine it with last-updated filters for staleness audits.
Carbon Fields stores values under _carbon_-prefixed keys. SleekView lets you reference either the registered field name or the underlying meta key, so you don't have to remember the prefix when adding a chart card. The prefix is hidden from the editor view by default.
Yes. SleekView treats both as plain meta sources, so a single chart dashboard can mix Carbon Fields and ACF keys in the same view. Useful during a migration from one to the other, or on long-running sites where some content models use ACF and others use Carbon Fields.
Yes. Per-role view permissions decide which Carbon Fields keys are exposed to a given role. An editor dashboard can show only the public-facing keys (hero copy, featured flag, region) while a developer dashboard shows the full set including internal keys.
