SleekView Charts for Sensei Certificates: issuance dashboards
SleekView Charts reads the Sensei certificate custom post type together with wp_sensei_lms_progress. Certificates issued this month, issuance per course, certificate-to-enrolment ratio, and a daily issuance trend become Number, Pie, Bar, and Area cards in WP Admin.

Certificate issuance, charted instead of counted by hand
Sensei Certificates issues a certificate post on course completion. Each certificate is a row in wp_posts with post_type set to certificate, post_author equal to the recipient user_id, and post_meta linking back to the course (the certificate_hash and course_id meta keys). The underlying course completion still writes to wp_sensei_lms_progress with status complete.
The default Sensei Certificates view is a list inside the Sensei admin. It shows the certificates issued, with pagination and basic filters. There is no chart for issuance trend over time, no share-of-total by course, and no certificate-to-enrolment ratio that L&D teams use to spot drop-off. Each of those questions takes a custom query or a CSV export.
SleekView Charts reads the certificate post type as a chartable source. A Number card anchors certificates issued this month. A Pie splits issuance by course. A Bar ranks courses by certificates issued per enrolment (a completion-rate proxy). An Area trends issuance per day so the impact of a campaign or a content refresh becomes visible. Filters carry across the dashboard so per-instructor or per-cohort views are two clicks.
Workflow
Build the Sensei Certificates dashboard
Pick the certificate post type
Join progress and courses
wp_sensei_lms_progress for the underlying completion row and the course post type for readable titles. The join key is post_meta course_id matching the Sensei course id.

Comparison
Default Sensei Certificates list vs SleekView Charts
Default certificates list
- List view shows pages of certificates without a share-of-total chart
- Issuance over time is not a chart, only a sortable column
- Certificate-per-enrolment ratio needs a manual query against two tables
- Per-instructor breakdowns are hidden behind capability filters
- Filters do not carry between the certificates list and Sensei reports

Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Sensei Certificates
Issuance KPIs that anchor the L&D dashboard
Number cards count certificates over a date window and compare to the prior period. Filters scope the same KPI to a single course launch for a clean per-campaign measure of recognition output.
Course mix as a donut
Pie cards over the course_id post_meta give a share-of-total view across the catalogue. Useful for spotting that 60 percent of certificates come from two courses and the rest barely issue any.
Ratio cards expose template bugs
A certificates-per-enrolment Bar surfaces courses where completion happens but a certificate never issues. Almost always a template misconfiguration that the default list view would never make obvious.
Audience
Who builds Sensei Certificates dashboards with SleekView
L&D admins
Issuance trend by day and certificates per enrolment by course on one screen. Confirms that completions translate into certificates and spots silent template bugs immediately.
Instructors
Number cards for certificates issued in their own post_author courses. Replaces a manual scroll of the certificates list with a saved per-instructor dashboard.
Customer success
Per-cohort issuance ratio against enrolment. Easy to spot a corporate cohort whose completions are not issuing certificates ahead of a renewal conversation.
The bigger picture
Why certificate issuance needs a chart, not a list
Recognition output is a number that course operators report every month. How many certificates went out, which courses generated them, and what share of completions resulted in a certificate. Each one lives in the certificate post type and the Sensei progress table already, but the default list view answers none of them in a single click.
The certificates-per-enrolment ratio in particular is the kind of metric that exposes silent bugs (a template not assigned, a hook misfiring) which the default UI would never make obvious. SleekView Charts treats certificate posts as a chartable source with joins to the progress table, with filters that carry across the whole dashboard. The result is a real recognition dashboard that updates as certificates issue.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Sensei Certificates
Yes. Both releases register the certificate custom post type and write a course_id post_meta on each row. SleekView reads the post type by name and the meta key by key, so the version of the add-on does not affect the chart configuration.
 Yes. The ratio is calculated as certificate post count divided by completed progress count per course_id. Courses where the denominator is non-zero but the numerator is zero show as zero on the Bar, which is the clearest signal of a template misconfiguration.
 Yes, when stored. Sensei Certificates writes the template post_meta on the course or globally. SleekView resolves that into a readable string on hover so the dashboard surfaces both the volume and the template used to produce each batch.
 Yes. Page-level filters propagate to every card, so picking a date range, a course post_id, or a recipient user role recomputes every Number, Pie, Bar, and Area on the dashboard. Saved views per quarter keep historical numbers stable.
 Reads run against the live tables on dashboard load, so a certificate just issued by Sensei appears immediately on the next refresh. Heavier aggregates (year-to-date issuance by template) opt into a configurable cache so they do not recompute on every visit.
 Yes. Each card exports its underlying aggregated rows as CSV or JSON. Useful for compliance reports where the operations team needs a quarterly issuance snapshot to send alongside the LMS completion export.
 Yes. SleekView Charts reads the same certificate posts the SleekView Table view writes to, so a manual issuance correction recomputes the dashboard on the next load. The Sensei hooks fire normally so downstream notifications continue to run.
 Yes. Each subsite has its own Sensei tables and certificate posts, and SleekView Charts reads the current subsite. Cross-site aggregation is not supported (each subsite is independent), but per-site dashboards work as expected.
