SleekView Charts for Ultimate Dashboard Pro: widget usage KPIs
Ultimate Dashboard Pro stores every custom widget as a udb_widgets custom post type with type, target role, and source URL in postmeta. SleekView Charts reads that data and renders widgets per type, widgets per role, and configuration coverage across the team in one screen.

From a widget builder to a real configuration dashboard
Ultimate Dashboard Pro replaces the default WordPress dashboard with a curated set of widgets: icon widgets, text widgets, video widgets, chart widgets, and HTML widgets, each scoped to a role or a user. Behind the screen, each widget is a row in wp_posts with post_type set to udb_widgets. The widget kind, the linked URL, the icon, and the assigned role all sit in wp_postmeta against that row.
SleekView Charts reads the udb_widgets custom post type and the meta keys around it and exposes them as a data source. A Number KPI counts active widgets. A Pie groups them by widget kind, instantly showing how many icon, text, video, or HTML widgets are configured. A Bar chart breaks widgets down by target role, so admins see whether the editor dashboard is well populated or empty compared to the administrator one. An Area chart trends widget creation over time using post_date.
The picture is the configuration audit the plugin's own UI does not deliver. Twenty-three icon widgets pointing at internal tools, four chart widgets going to a deprecated analytics URL, eight HTML widgets only visible to one role: all of it lives in postmeta the whole time, but never as a chart. SleekView turns it into one.

Comparison
Default Ultimate Dashboard admin vs SleekView Charts
Default UDB widget list
- Widget list shows entries but never aggregates them by type or role
- No KPI for total active widgets across the configuration
- Role coverage requires switching accounts to see how a role's dashboard looks
- No timeline of when widgets were created or last modified
- Broken external links inside widgets are only spotted by users hitting them
SleekView Charts
- Reads the udb_widgets custom post type as a live chart data source
- Joins widget meta to surface kind, target role, and source URL as columns
- Bar chart of widgets per role audits dashboard coverage across the team
- Area trend of widget creation shows configuration evolution by month
- Broken-link card flags widget URLs that return non-200 before users do
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Ultimate Dashboard Pro
Configuration KPI
Number card for active udb_widgets plus a delta against last month. Admins see the configuration size before adding more widgets to an already crowded dashboard.
Widget kind mix
Donut of icon, text, video, HTML, and chart widgets. Reveals whether the team is over-relying on one kind of widget instead of using the full Ultimate Dashboard toolkit.
Role coverage
Horizontal bar of widgets per target role surfaces gaps. Editor and author dashboards that lag behind administrator coverage become obvious on the same screen.
Audience
Where Ultimate Dashboard charts pay off
Enterprise admins
Large sites with hundreds of widgets gain a configuration map. Admins see the spread by kind and by role and trim what no team actually uses.
Agencies
Client reports include widget counts per role and per kind. The customized dashboard becomes a chart screenshot that proves the build matches the brief.
Internal IT
IT teams using the WP dashboard as an internal portal track widget growth and broken links. Shadow widgets pointing at deprecated URLs surface before tickets do.
The bigger picture
Configuration is data, not a builder screen
Ultimate Dashboard Pro is one of the most flexible ways to replace the WordPress dashboard with something teams actually use, and its builder is excellent. Once configured, though, the data goes back to being invisible. Eighty active widgets across five roles is just a number nobody ever sees.
Which role gets the most curated experience, which widget kind dominates the configuration, when the last widget was added, are all answerable only by scrolling the udb_widgets list with WP_Query in mind. SleekView Charts reads the same custom post type and the same meta keys the plugin already writes and turns the configuration into a dashboard. Active widgets, widget-kind mix, role coverage, and widget-creation trend all appear on one screen and refresh on every save.
Admins audit the dashboard configuration like any other dataset, agencies prove the build matches the brief, and IT teams catch broken links before users do.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Ultimate Dashboard Pro
From the udb_widgets custom post type in wp_posts and its associated meta keys in wp_postmeta covering widget type, target role, source URL, and icon. All are standard WordPress storage, no UDB-specific custom tables involved.
Yes. The target_role meta value is exposed as a groupBy column. A Bar or Pie of widgets per role compares administrator, editor, author, and any custom role, showing where the configuration is dense and where it is thin.
Yes. The widget_type meta is groupable on every chart card. A Pie splits configuration by type instantly, so admins see whether icon widgets dominate or whether HTML and chart widgets are pulling their weight.
Yes. SleekView Charts can probe each widget's source URL on a schedule and write the HTTP status into a virtual column. A dedicated card lists widgets returning 4xx or 5xx codes, ready for cleanup before the next user logs in.
Yes. Each subsite holds its own udb_widgets post type in its prefixed posts table. SleekView Charts can point at one subsite or stack subsite cards side by side, giving network admins a network-wide picture of dashboard configurations.
It refreshes on every dashboard load. New widgets, role changes, and content edits in Ultimate Dashboard Pro reflect on the next render with no nightly sync between the plugin and the chart cards.
Yes. The widget_type column is a first-class filter on the dashboard. Pick chart or HTML and every card reshapes to show only widgets of that kind, while totals stay live on the next refresh.
No. Pointing SleekView Charts at the udb_widgets post type and its meta keys is done from WP Admin. Card aggregation, group-by, and color are dropdown choices. No SQL is written and no custom code is required.
