Lightbox usage is buried in grid settings, not on a dashboard
Essential Grid lets each grid open items in a lightbox or popup overlay, configured per grid in its settings. The grid editor is where that flag lives, which means a cross-site question ("how many grids use lightboxes, on which skins, on which source types?") becomes a per-grid click marathon through the editor.
SleekView Charts reads the Essential Grid tables and joins eg_grids with eg_item_skins. Grids using the lightbox or popup feature become a filterable slice. A Number card counts them. A Pie splits the slice by source type. A Bar shows them per skin. An Area trends edits across those grids so a design lead can see whether the lightbox flow is being maintained.
Chart view and Table view share the same rows. Filter to lightbox-enabled grids in the chart view and the audit table follows. The grid editor still owns the per-grid setup; SleekView Charts owns the inventory and reporting surface across the grid library.

Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Essential Grid lightbox and popup grids
Lightbox inventory as a chart
Count and split lightbox-enabled grids by source and skin. The popup surface of the site becomes visible at a glance, not buried per grid.
Skin migration planning
Group lightbox grids by item skin to plan a redesign. The dashboard surfaces legacy skins still in active popup use.
Read-only share and export
Send a stakeholder a URL of the lightbox inventory or export the filtered slice to CSV for a UX review.
Audience
Who builds Essential Grid popup dashboards with SleekView
Designers and agencies
Inventory lightbox grids before a redesign. Source, skin and edit cadence give the migration plan instead of a per-grid click-through.
UX and content teams
Audit which content opens as a lightbox versus an inline grid. The Pie by source clarifies the popup surface for accessibility and UX reviews.
Site auditors
Spot grids stuck on legacy skins or unmaintained for months in the Bar and Area charts. Queue them for cleanup or retirement.
The bigger picture
Lightbox usage is a cross-grid question, not a per-grid setting
Essential Grid stores the lightbox flag on every grid, which is the right place to set it and the wrong place to read it across the site. A design lead planning a UX review needs to know how many grids open as a lightbox, on which source types, on which skins, with what recent edit cadence. The default admin answers that one grid at a time.
A Number card, a Pie by source, a Bar by skin and an Area trend consolidate the picture in one screen. The dataset is the same eg_grids and eg_item_skins rows the plugin already wrote; the dashboard is the reading surface those rows always deserved.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Essential Grid lightbox and popup grids
The Essential Grid tables (eg_grids, eg_item_skins, eg_custom_meta) and any joined wp_posts and wp_postmeta when grids source from a post type. SleekView does not call any external service to render the dashboard.
By filtering on the lightbox or popup flag stored in each grid's settings row. The flag is part of the grid record, so a filter scope is enough to drive every chart card on that slice.
Yes. Group a Pie or Bar by the source field (Posts, Custom items, Social, WooCommerce). The dashboard shows where the popup surface concentrates.
Yes. Group an Area or Line card by the modified column with a Count aggregation. Weekly or monthly buckets show whether the lightbox slice is getting attention or sliding.
No. The grid editor still owns layout, skin assignment and per-grid setup. SleekView Charts adds the cross-grid inventory and reporting surface that the editor was not designed for.
Yes. The Table view writes through the plugin's data layer where exposed, so registered actions and cache refreshes fire normally. Chart cards refresh against the updated rows on the next view.
Yes. Any filtered set behind a chart exports as CSV with the same columns the Table view shows. UX reviews, redesign briefings and migration plans draw from that filtered set.
SleekView reports on Essential Grid's own lightbox flag. Third-party lightbox integrations that do not flip that flag are not in scope; the dashboard does not invent data that is not in the eg_grids row.
