Huge IT Slider keeps sliders and slides in dedicated custom tables: a sliders table for the slider row (id, name, params blob with effect, autoplay, dimensions) and a slides table for individual slide rows (id, slider_id, image_url, link, link_target, title, description). The plugin admin shows one row per slider with limited cross-filtering.

SleekView Charts reads those tables directly and turns the catalog into a configurable dashboard. Number cards count total sliders and total slides. Pie cards split sliders by transition effect or slides by media type. Bar cards rank sliders by slide count or by post placement. Area cards trace creation cadence across the catalog.

Every card reads through the same Huge IT tables, so the public slider experience is unchanged. The dashboard sits alongside the SleekView table view of the same dataset.

Huge IT Slider has been one of the long-running free WordPress slider plugins, and its custom tables make per-slider rendering quick. The cost is that the default admin treats every slider as a destination, so cross-cutting questions about effect mix, placement coverage, and creation cadence never get asked. SleekView Charts reads the same tables and gives the catalog one reporting dashboard.

A donut of transition effects confirms how the design system actually behaves at scale. A horizontal bar of slide counts exposes overlong sliders and empty placeholders together. An area chart of creation date reveals whether sliders are still part of the editorial mix or a relic from an older campaign.

A single number KPI gives owners the catalog scale figure before any redesign starts. The data is already there, the dashboard just makes it legible.
