Justified Image Grid (JIG) carries its work as a shortcode in post_content, parameterised against a source (ids, preset, ng_gallery, flickr_user, facebook_id) and a long list of layout knobs (row_height, last_row, max_rows, lightbox, caption display). The plugin settings page covers defaults, but there is no admin list of where the shortcodes live or what configuration they use.

SleekView scans wp_posts.post_content, extracts every JIG shortcode and pivots its attributes into first-class columns. One row per placement: parent post, source, row height, lightbox engine, caption mode. Filters narrow by source type, row-height bucket or parent post_status. Editors get an inventory the plugin never built.

The same parser feeds the SleekView Charts dashboard, so a row-height consolidation pass or per-source retrospective is one click between layouts. JIG's own settings in wp_options stay exactly where the plugin put them.

Justified Image Grid has been a go-to layout plugin for photo-heavy WordPress sites for years, and its strength is the dozens of attributes each shortcode supports. The cost is that drift becomes invisible: every editor who copies an old shortcode brings the old row height, the old lightbox and the old caption setting forward. The plugin's settings page handles defaults but never tells the team how many shortcodes followed them.

SleekView parses every JIG shortcode and renders the catalog as a sortable table. Source becomes a filter, row_height becomes a column, and parent post_status separates published placements from drafts. The configuration has been in post_content the whole time, the table just reads it.
