EventON registers events as a custom post type and stores the operational fields — start time, end time, venue, capacity, RSVP roster, ticket data — in post meta. The default admin handles editing one event at a time but the events list view shows fixed columns, hiding the totals organizers need to glance at every morning: how many seats are left for Founder Brunch, which event is already overbooked, which Quarterly Meetup is under-promoted.

SleekView reads the EventON CPT and exposes RSVP count, capacity, venue, and any custom meta as configurable columns. Inline edits write to the same meta keys EventON's admin screens use, so a capacity change or a status update on a postponed class is reflected on the public event page without touching the editor. EventON Pro add-on fields surface automatically once they register their meta keys.

The grid is built around the rituals an event coordinator runs daily and weekly: sort upcoming events by start time, filter to those at risk of selling out, group by organizer to balance the team's load. Saved views replace the per-question URL changes, and a CSV export of upcoming events hands marketing the calendar they need for the next newsletter.

Coordinators win the week before an event, not on the day of. Knowing on Tuesday that Studio Tour is already overbooked while Quarterly Meetup is under-promoted means the marketing team has time to rebalance — push promotion to the slow event, reach out to a waitlist for the full one. The data EventON captures supports that work, but it lives in post meta that the default events list never surfaces, so the planning ritual either becomes a custom dashboard or a spreadsheet rebuilt every Monday morning.

Either workaround creates the same lag the coordinator wants to avoid: the week ends with a sold-out event that turned away interested attendees and a half-full event that nobody redirected to. Treating EventON data as a real grid keeps the planning surface where the events themselves live, in wp-admin. Saved views become the rituals of the role — the morning capacity check, the weekly under-promotion review, the post-event cancellation cleanup — and the team spends its energy on the decisions that matter rather than on rebuilding the same view in a spreadsheet every week.
