SleekView for Formidable Forms Pro
Formidable Pro adds repeaters, calculated fields, views and conditional logic on top of the core frm_items + frm_item_metas store. SleekView reads it all and surfaces draft state, calculated totals and key field values on one sortable row.

Stop reading frm_item_metas in long format
Formidable Pro keeps the same storage model as the free plugin: frm_items for entries, frm_item_metas for per-field values in long format. The Pro upgrade adds repeaters (child entries linked by parent_item_id), calculated fields (values persisted to meta after calculation), conditional logic and the front-end Views builder. The default admin scopes entries per form and renders the long-format meta inside per-entry screens.
Pro adds the volume that makes the per-form admin painful: calculated totals on order forms, repeater children on quote forms, draft states across long surveys. Reading a calculated total across forms, finding stalled drafts, or bulk-changing the status of a cohort all involve opening forms one by one and clicking into entries.
SleekView reads frm_items directly, pivots frm_item_metas so calculated fields and addable columns become real columns, and joins frm_forms for the form name. One row per entry, with draft state, calculated total and key field values on the same line. Inline edits route through Formidable's CRUD so the Views builder and form notifications still pick up the change.

Comparison
Default Formidable Forms Pro admin vs SleekView
Default Formidable admin
- Entries listed per form with no cross-form workspace
- Views builder targets front-end pages, not admin row-level operations
- Calculated totals across forms require manual CSV pivots
- Draft state lives on the row but is not surfaced as a filterable column
- No saved per-role views for site owners, finance or ops
SleekView
- Read frm_items directly and pivot frm_item_metas into named columns
- Calculated fields become real, filterable, sortable columns
- Repeater children either flatten into parent rows or render as their own dataset
- Inline-edit status, owner and field values across many entries
- Save filtered views per audience ("Drafts older than 7 days")
Features
What SleekView gives you for Formidable Forms Pro
Calculated fields as columns
Calculated totals stored in frm_item_metas pivot into a column you can filter, sort and export. Pricing forms and scoring surveys finally get the workspace their math deserves.
Repeater-aware
Repeater children link to parent_item_id. SleekView either flattens them into the parent row for one-line views or exposes them as their own dataset for per-line-item operations.
Draft state as a slice
is_draft is a column on frm_items. Filter and sort on it directly so long-form surveys and multi-step quote builders see their drop-off cohort as a saved view.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for Formidable Forms Pro
Site owners
Cross-form weekly view with status, total and date. The picture of the site's entries lands in one table instead of per-form clicks.
Finance teams
Filter to orders over a threshold, sort by calculated total, and match against the gateway report. Reconciliation happens from rows, not exports.
Ops teams
Pull drafts older than 7 days, bulk-nudge or bulk-purge, and keep the entry table clean. Long-form drop-off is a saved view, not a quarterly project.
The bigger picture
Why Formidable Pro deserves a row-level workspace
Formidable Pro extends a flexible long-format storage layer with calculated fields, repeaters, conditional logic and a front-end Views builder. The Views builder targets visitor-facing pages, member directories, dynamic listings, customer dashboards, which is exactly where Formidable shines. Inside WP Admin the entries list stays per-form, with calculated totals only computable per-entry and draft states only visible by scrolling.
Site owners running multiple Pro forms, orders, quotes, surveys, registration, end up exporting per-form CSVs just to read the cross-form picture. SleekView reads the same frm_items and frm_item_metas data and renders it as one filterable workspace inside WP Admin. Site owners see the cross-form table, finance filters by calculated total, ops pulls drafts to nudge.
Inline edits route through Formidable's CRUD so the Views builder and form notifications stay in sync. The Views builder still owns visitor-facing rendering. The admin-side row-level workspace moves to a place built for it.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Formidable Forms Pro
No. Views renders Formidable data on the front-end for visitors (directories, listings, dashboards). SleekView is admin-side row-level operations on the same data, for the staff running the site. They pair naturally: Views for visitor pages, SleekView for the team workspace.
Calculated fields persist their value in frm_item_metas after submission. SleekView pivots them like any other field so charts can filter, sort, sum and export against the calculated values. Live recalculation on edit goes through Formidable's API and updates the persisted value as expected.
Yes. Repeater children are child entries linked by parent_item_id. SleekView either flattens them into the parent row (joining values as a list) or exposes them as their own dataset for per-line-item views (order items, attendees, options). Pick per view based on what the workspace needs to answer.
Yes. Conditional logic decides whether a field renders on the front-end, but values for fields that did render still write to frm_item_metas. Rows where the condition did not fire show empty for that column; scope the view to rows where the condition was met when that is what the workflow needs.
Yes. SleekView writes through Formidable's CRUD so frm_after_update_entry fires, calculated fields recalculate via the API, and any Views builder pages that depend on the entry pick up the change.
Yes. SleekView views are gated by WordPress capability, so a finance or ops lead with editor access reads the workspace without admin rights. Frontend embedding works for sharing trends with stakeholders outside WP Admin.
Yes. Queries hit existing Formidable indexes on form_id, is_draft and created_at. The meta pivot is bounded to the columns shown in the view, so even sites with hundreds of thousands of entries render and filter in well under a second.
Where those add-ons write payment or sync metadata to frm_item_metas, SleekView pivots them like any other field and surfaces them as filterable columns. Stripe-paid totals, API sync success states and payment status mixes all become saveable saved-view filters.
