SleekView Charts for Gravity Forms Polls
Poll responses live as field values in gf_entry_meta against each gf_entry row. SleekView Charts reads them, pivots the chosen options into named columns, and renders vote distribution, turnout, and poll mix on one dashboard.

Read your poll results as charts, not per-poll detail screens
Gravity Forms Polls adds a poll field type that stores each vote as a field value on the parent gf_entry row, with the chosen option saved to gf_entry_meta. The add-on shows a per-poll results widget on the form's dashboard, but cross-poll reporting, turnout over time, and combined-survey dashboards are not first-class.
Total votes this week, distribution for the active poll, daily turnout, and votes by poll across the whole site all live in those Gravity tables. The default admin scopes the picture per form and per poll field, so teams running multiple polls end up exporting CSVs and rebuilding the visual in slides.
SleekView Charts reads gf_entry and pivots gf_entry_meta so each poll question becomes a named column. A KPI of votes this week, a Donut of the active poll's distribution, a Bar of votes by poll question, and an Area of daily turnout. The add-on still owns the per-poll widget. SleekView Charts adds the dashboard the team can read like a report.

Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Gravity Forms Polls
Distribution in shape
Poll options render as donuts or labelled pies. The skew is obvious at a glance instead of buried in percentage rows.
Cross-poll scope
Combine multiple polls into one dashboard or filter to a specific poll at the card level. Editorial gets the comparison view, the active campaign gets its own focused dashboard.
Turnout over time
Daily and weekly turnout areas tied to campaigns or release windows. Engagement spikes pair against the cause without rebuilding the chart each cycle.
Audience
Who builds Gravity Forms Polls charts dashboards with SleekView
Community leads
Watch the active poll distribution as votes land. Closure of a poll happens at the right moment, when the chart shape settles instead of when the calendar says so.
Editorial teams
The cross-poll bar shows which polls are pulling engagement and which are flat. Feature decisions get made from a chart, not a list of vote counts in separate widgets.
Marketing teams
The turnout area tied to newsletter and social pushes makes campaign effects visible the day they hit. No more wondering whether the send moved the needle.
The bigger picture
Why poll-running sites need a dashboard inside WordPress
Gravity Forms Polls is intentionally light: a poll field type with a per-poll results widget. Good for a single embedded poll. Limited when a site runs many at once.
News sites, communities, and product blogs running an ongoing programme of reader polls end up screenshotting the widgets and gluing them into a slide deck every week. SleekView Charts reads the same gf_entry and pivoted gf_entry_meta data and renders it as a dashboard inside WP Admin. Community leads see the active distribution, editorial sees the cross-poll bar, marketing sees the turnout area tied to campaigns.
The per-poll widget is still there for a quick glance. SleekView Charts gives the team the cross-poll reading layer the slide deck has been standing in for.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Gravity Forms Polls
No. The widget renders the active poll on a single page or in the admin. SleekView Charts reads the same gf_entry_meta data and renders it as a dashboard across polls and over time. The widget for quick glances, the dashboard for the team review.
Multi-select poll fields store one row per selected option in gf_entry_meta with the item_index set. SleekView aggregates them so each selection counts toward the distribution, and a vote with three selections contributes three counts across three options rather than collapsing into a single combined cell.
Yes. Filter the base view by form_id and every card on the dashboard inherits the filter. Useful for a campaign-specific dashboard around one featured poll, with the cross-poll dashboard living as a separate saved view.
The live results option controls whether voters see the running distribution; storage is the same either way. SleekView reads the stored votes, so the dashboard updates whether or not the front-end shows live results to voters.
Live. SleekView Charts queries the Gravity tables directly, so a card refresh reflects votes up to the moment of the request. The poll widget and the dashboard both read the same data, so they stay in sync without any synchronisation step.
Where the poll is configured to capture IP or user_id, SleekView can chart distinct-by-ip or distinct-by-user as an alternative aggregation. Useful for spotting whether a single source is skewing a poll. Bot-grade fraud detection lives outside the chart layer and is the right place for plugins built for that.
Yes. SleekView views are gated by WordPress capability, so an editor with the right cap can read the polls dashboard without admin rights. Frontend embedding works too, useful for sharing turnout trends with stakeholders outside WP Admin.
No. Chart queries hit existing Gravity indexes on entry id, form_id, and date_created, and the pivot is bounded by the card's date range or filter. Even sites with hundreds of thousands of poll votes return chart numbers in well under a second when scoped to a reasonable window.
