Editorial pipelines are a chart, not a budget board
Edit Flow Pro stores custom editorial statuses as a taxonomy attached to posts, editorial metadata as postmeta under keys prefixed _ef_editorial_meta_ and User Group assignments in usermeta and a custom taxonomy. The Story Budget and Calendar views are good visual overviews, but neither rolls the data up into measurable shapes. Managing editors compensate with spreadsheets that go stale the moment the next status change lands inside Edit Flow.
SleekView Charts reads the same wp_posts joined with the Edit Flow status taxonomy and pivots editorial metadata into proper columns. A Number card counts posts in active editorial statuses (Pitch, Assigned, In review) so the cross-pipeline volume is one number, not a count of cards. A Pie splits posts by status so cross-status balance is a glance. A Bar groups by editor so per-editor load is bar height instead of a manual count. An Area trends new editorial tasks per week so backlog growth has a shape.
The plugin keeps owning custom statuses, editorial metadata and the notification module. SleekView Charts adds the cross-pipeline cockpit that the Story Budget hints at but does not deliver.

Comparison
Default Edit Flow Pro admin vs SleekView Charts
Default Edit Flow Pro admin
- Story Budget and Calendar are good overviews but not aggregated KPIs
- Editorial metadata in postmeta is not exposed as charts
- No pie split of custom statuses for cross-pipeline visibility
- Per-editor load needs a manual count from the calendar view
- Backlog growth has no trend line in the default admin
SleekView Charts
- KPI card for posts in any active editorial status
- Pie of custom statuses to see the shape of the pipeline
- Bar of posts per editor so load is visible, not guessed
- Area trend of pipeline intake per week
- Same dataset feeds the chart cards and the editorial table view
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Edit Flow Pro
Editorial cockpit
Render the editorial pipeline as Number, Pie, Bar and Area cards. Stand-ups and weekly editorial reviews open on a single dashboard, not the Story Budget.
Per-editor load
Group by the editor meta field on a Bar card to see open work per editor. Hand-offs and reassignments get data instead of memory during a busy publication cycle.
User Group scoping
Use Edit Flow Pro's User Groups as a dashboard filter. The Marketing dashboard scopes to Marketing posts; the Newsroom dashboard scopes to Newsroom. Both run on the same data.
Audience
Who builds Edit Flow Pro charts dashboards with SleekView
Managing editors
Pin a daily cockpit with pipeline KPI, status pie and editor bar. The editorial morning starts with the same three cards instead of opening twelve drafts in tabs.
Section editors
Filter by User Group to scope the dashboard to a section (Tech, Lifestyle, Business). Each section editor sees their own pipeline shape on the same surface.
Content strategy leads
Trend pipeline intake per week to see whether the team is taking on more than it can ship. Plans for the next quarter get backed by an actual throughput line.
The bigger picture
Why editorial pipelines need a real cockpit
Editorial workflow plugins capture the right data and then surface it through views that work for one piece at a time. Edit Flow Pro is no exception: custom statuses, editorial metadata, User Groups and a notification module are all there, and the Story Budget gives them a visual board. The gap is the cross-pipeline question.
"How many posts are in active editorial status right now", "how does the load split across editors this week", "is intake outrunning shipping over the last month", "which section has the longest backlog". The answers live in the same data the editor uses every day, but the default surface does not aggregate them. Charts do.
The plugin keeps owning the editorial workflow and the per-post detail, the dashboard becomes the cross-pipeline view, and editorial leadership finally has a cockpit instead of a budget board.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Edit Flow Pro
No. SleekView is read-only against the post table and Edit Flow Pro's taxonomies and meta. The plugin continues to own custom statuses, editorial metadata, User Groups and notifications; SleekView Charts just renders aggregations on top of the data the plugin already maintains.
Yes. Group by the Edit Flow status taxonomy on a Pie or Bar card to see how posts are distributed across Pitch, Assigned, In review, Approved and any custom statuses the team has added. Custom statuses are first-class chart dimensions.
Yes. Add a filter for User Group and the entire dashboard, including KPI, pie, bar and trend, narrows to the posts assigned to that team. Per-section dashboards run on the same data with different filter presets.
Yes. Promote the editor meta key into a named column and group by it on a Bar card to see load per editor. Combine with the status pie to see whether a particular editor is stuck in review or buried under new pitches.
Edit Flow's data structures are nearly identical to PublishPress Planner's, with the same taxonomy and meta naming. SleekView Charts reads both with minor configuration differences, so most dashboards built for Edit Flow Pro run on Planner installs without changes.
Yes. Group by post_date or by a custom editorial timestamp with an Area card and a Count aggregation to see new posts entering the pipeline per day or week. Useful for spotting whether intake is outpacing shipping over a quarter.
Yes. Any filtered set behind a chart card exports as CSV with the same columns the table view would show. Editorial retrospectives and content reviews get a real spreadsheet of posts with status, editor and metadata fields attached.
No. Edit Flow Pro continues to own pitching, assigning, status transitions and notifications. SleekView Charts is the cross-pipeline cockpit on top of that workflow, designed for the editorial leadership questions that the per-post surface was not built to answer.
