SleekView for Gravity Forms Polls
Poll responses live as field values in gf_entry_meta against each gf_entry row. SleekView reads them, pivots the chosen options into named columns, and lays out vote, source page and submitter on one sortable row.

Gravity Forms Polls adds a poll field type that stores each vote as a field value on the parent gf_entry row, with the chosen option saved to gf_entry_meta. The add-on shows a per-poll results widget on the form's dashboard, and the standard entries list shows the raw rows behind it.
News sites, communities and product blogs running multiple polls hit two limits: the results widget summarises a single poll but does not let you filter the votes themselves, and the entries list shows the rows without pivoting the poll answer into a real column.
SleekView reads gf_entry directly and pivots gf_entry_meta so each poll question becomes a column. One row per vote, with the chosen option, the source URL and the submitter visible on the same line. Filter by option to read who voted what. Sort by date to see the live arrival. Export the filtered slice when a writer needs the quotes that came with the vote. The per-poll widget stays for the dashboard headline.

Comparison
Default Gravity Forms Polls admin vs SleekView
Default Polls admin
- Results widget summarises one poll, with no way to filter the votes
- Entries list shows rows but does not pivot the chosen option into a column
- Reading who voted what requires opening each entry detail screen
- Cross-poll comparison and source filtering require manual CSV exports
- No saved per-role views for community, editorial or marketing
SleekView
- Read gf_entry directly and pivot gf_entry_meta into option columns
- Chosen poll option becomes a first-class, filterable column
- Multi-select polls render as a list column or as one column per option
- Filter by option, source URL, IP or date for editorial workflows
- Save filtered views per audience ("Cover story votes, this issue")
Features
What SleekView gives you for Gravity Forms Polls
Options as real columns
Pivot gf_entry_meta so the chosen poll option lands as a column on the row. The widget told you the totals; the table tells you who voted what.
Filter and segment votes
Pull the cohort that chose Option B, scope to votes from a specific landing page, or compare polls side by side in one saved view. Editorial decisions get backed by rows, not screenshots.
Export for editorial
Send the filtered votes to CSV for the writer or analyst who needs the raw rows. Exports respect filters so the file matches what the table shows.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for Gravity Forms Polls
Community leads
Open a live view of the active poll, filter spam-suspect IPs out, and brief the editorial team without staring at a widget.
Editorial teams
Compare polls across issues in one view, pull the option cohorts for follow-up coverage, and ship the article with the rows in hand.
Marketing teams
Filter by source URL to see whether the newsletter send moved the poll. Vote rows match against campaign windows in the same table.
The bigger picture
Why Polls votes deserve a row-level workspace
Gravity Forms Polls is intentionally light: a poll field type with a per-poll results widget that summarises totals. Good for embedding one poll on a landing page. Limited when a site runs an ongoing programme of reader polls and wants to actually read the votes.
The standard entries list shows the rows behind the widget but with numeric field IDs and no pivoted choice column, so reading individual votes means opening each entry. SleekView reads the same gf_entry data and pivots the chosen option into a column, leaving community, editorial and marketing teams with a filterable workspace over the votes themselves. The widget stays where it is for the headline.
The list operations that hurt at scale (segment by option, filter by source, export the cohort) move to a place built for rows.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Gravity Forms Polls
Multi-select poll fields store one row per selected option in gf_entry_meta with the item_index set. SleekView either collapses them into a single comma-list column or exposes them as one boolean column per option, depending on which presentation fits the analysis.
 Yes. Filter the base view by form_id and every column inherits the scope. Useful for an issue-specific dashboard around one featured poll, with the cross-poll view living as a separate saved view.
 Yes. Anonymous votes render with their entry ID and chosen-option column intact; only the user lookup column stays empty. IP, source URL and date columns still populate from gf_entry, so spam patterns are still visible.
 Where the poll captures IP or user_id, SleekView can show distinct-by-IP or distinct-by-user counts via the aggregation column. Bot-grade fraud detection is the right place for a dedicated plugin; row-level filtering catches the obvious patterns.
 Yes. SleekView views are gated by WordPress capability, so a community lead or editor reads the votes table without admin rights. Frontend embedding works for sharing with stakeholders outside WP Admin.
 Yes. Queries hit existing Gravity indexes on form_id, entry id and date_created, and the pivot is bounded to the columns shown. Even sites with hundreds of thousands of poll votes load in well under a second when scoped reasonably.
 Editing votes is rarely the right move, but where it is needed (correcting a known test vote, flagging a duplicate) edits route through Gravity's CRUD so the gform_after_update_entry hook fires. Most teams use the table to filter and read, not to rewrite.
 No. The widget shows totals on a single poll on a single page. SleekView adds the row-level workspace for filtering, segmenting and exporting the underlying votes.
