SleekView Charts for KB Support: tickets and KB articles charted
KB Support stores tickets as the kbs_ticket post type, replies as kbs_ticket_reply, and KB articles as kbs_kb with their own categories and tags. SleekView Charts groups all of that into queue dashboards and article-performance cards on one screen.

Tickets and the KB on one chart dashboard
KB Support pairs a ticket system with a knowledge base in one plugin. Tickets are the kbs_ticket post type, ticket replies are kbs_ticket_reply, customers live in a custom table, and KB articles are the kbs_kb post type with their own categories and tags. The default admin gives you list views for each, but no chart that says how the queue is doing this week or which KB article is preventing the most tickets.
SleekView Charts reads both halves at once. On the ticket side a donut groups kbs_ticket posts by status taxonomy, a horizontal bar groups by assigned agent, and a weekly area counts new tickets by post_date. On the KB side a horizontal bar ranks kbs_kb posts by view count postmeta, a donut groups by KB category taxonomy, and a number card sums the helpful-vote postmeta across all articles. One screen reads the full self-serve and assisted-serve flow.
The point is that fewer tickets means more KB hits. SleekView lets you put the ticket volume chart next to the top-articles chart on the same dashboard, scoped to the same week. When a topic spikes on tickets, the matching KB article should be writing more views; if it is not, the article needs better SEO or a better title. The chart layout makes that pattern visible without leaving WordPress.

Comparison
Default KB Support admin vs SleekView Charts
Default KB Support admin
- Tickets and KB articles live on separate admin screens with no shared view
- No chart of weekly ticket volume next to weekly KB views
- Article views and helpful votes are not surfaced as ranked charts
- Status distribution requires clicking through ticket-list filters
- No drill-from-chart-back-to-list path inside the default admin
SleekView Charts
- Chart kbs_ticket and kbs_kb side by side on one dashboard
- Group tickets by status, agent, or category taxonomy directly
- Rank KB articles by view-count postmeta in a horizontal bar
- Weekly ticket volume next to weekly article-traffic area
- Capabilities honored so each role sees the right cut of both
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for KB Support
Ticket queue donut
Group kbs_ticket posts by the ticket_status taxonomy in a donut card. The default KB Support admin shows lists, not distributions, so queue skew used to need a manual count by status filter.
KB article rank bar
Horizontal bar of kbs_kb posts ranked by article-views postmeta. Surfaces the top deflecting articles and the underperformers that need a better title or a better intro paragraph.
Volume vs deflection
Weekly ticket volume area next to weekly KB view sum. The same grid makes the self-serve vs assisted-serve ratio visible week over week without any export step.
Audience
Who builds KB Support dashboards with SleekView
Support leads
Ticket donut and agent bar on the left, KB article rank and helpful-vote sum on the right. One Monday view answers both how the queue is doing and which docs are pulling weight.
Docs owners
Rank kbs_kb posts by view-count and by helpful-vote postmeta. Articles with high views and low votes go to the top of the rewrite queue before the matching ticket topic spikes.
Operations
Compare ticket volume against KB views across rolling 12-week windows. When tickets spike and KB views do not, the article gap is identifiable in one chart.
The bigger picture
Why tickets and the KB belong on one chart
A self-serve KB and an assisted-serve ticket system answer the same question from opposite ends. Customers reach the KB first and only open a ticket if the article does not solve the problem. So a topic where tickets are rising and KB views are flat means the article is missing or hard to find, and a topic where KB views are rising and tickets are flat means the article is working.
Reading that pattern requires both halves of the data on one screen, scoped to the same time window. KB Support's default admin keeps tickets and articles on separate screens with separate filters and separate counts, which makes the deflection relationship invisible. SleekView Charts puts a weekly ticket-volume area beside a weekly KB-views bar and a top-articles rank.
The same grid answers how the queue is doing and which docs are pulling their weight, in the same week, from the same source of truth that the table views already read.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for KB Support
Yes. SleekView registers any active custom post type as a charts-ready dataset, so kbs_ticket, kbs_ticket_reply, and kbs_kb are all available. Each post type carries its own taxonomies, status terms, and postmeta keys as chart dimensions on its own SleekView.
 Yes, provided the view-count postmeta is being written. KB Support and most tracking add-ons write a per-article view counter to postmeta on the kbs_kb post, and SleekView reads that key as a sum aggregation. Rank articles by views directly without an export step.
 Yes. Helpful/unhelpful votes are postmeta on the kbs_kb post. Sum the helpful-vote key per article in a bar, or compute a helpfulness ratio by dividing the helpful sum by the total-vote sum in a number card for the period.
 Yes. Clicking a slice or a bar opens the underlying SleekView table view with the same filter applied. From the donut slice showing hold tickets, one click jumps to that list of tickets; from a top KB bar, one click opens the article.
 Yes. SleekView honors the WordPress capabilities KB Support registers for agents and admins. An agent's dashboard counts only the tickets they can see; a manager's covers the team. KB articles follow normal post visibility for the role.
 Yes. KB Support custom ticket fields land in postmeta on the kbs_ticket post, and SleekView lists every available postmeta key as a chart dimension. A select field becomes a groupBy option, a numeric field becomes a sum or average aggregation.
 Charts run aggregate queries on view load against wp_posts and wp_postmeta. The queries use the indexes WordPress already maintains for post-type and term lookups. On sites with tens of thousands of tickets, dashboards load in well under a second from the admin context.
 Save the dashboard as a SleekView and export the layout to JSON. Import that JSON on the destination site to recreate the exact same chart cards. The export references field keys by name, so as long as KB Support is installed on both sites the dashboard works identically.
