Yes, provided SmartDocs or another view-tracker is writing per-article view counts to postmeta on smart-docs posts. SleekView lists every postmeta key as a chart dimension or metric, so ranking articles by views or summing views by category are one-card operations on the dashboard.

Yes. SmartDocs rating buttons write counts to postmeta on the article post. Sum the helpful-rating key across the catalog for a single KPI number, or compute a helpfulness ratio in a number card by dividing helpful by total votes across the period for a quality KPI.

Yes. smartdocs_category and smartdocs_tag are first-class chart dimensions on the smart-docs dataset. Build a per-category donut for content distribution, or filter to one tag for a tag-scoped weekly trend area on the same dashboard layout.

Yes. Clicking a chart slice or a bar opens the underlying SleekView table view with the same filter applied. From the top-articles bar, one click opens the article list filtered to those articles, ready for inline editing or category reassignment from the same view.

Yes. SleekView honors WordPress capabilities, so a docs-owner role sees only the articles they can edit; an admin sees everything. The capability check applies identically to chart cards and to the underlying SleekView article tables, without any extra scope configuration.

Yes. SleekView reads any active dataset on the same dashboard, so you can pair smart-docs views with a helpdesk ticket-volume chart from any of the supported helpdesks. The dashboard makes the deflection relationship between docs traffic and ticket volume visible at a glance.

Without the rating module the helpful-rating postmeta does not exist, so the rating KPI card cannot run. Every other chart (rank by views, category donut, weekly publishing area) still works from post and taxonomy data alone. View-count charts require some view tracker to be installed.

Charts run aggregate queries on demand against wp_posts and wp_postmeta. The queries use the same indexes WordPress maintains for post-type and meta lookups. On knowledge bases with thousands of articles, dashboards load in under a second from the admin context.
