Paid Member Subscriptions stores its data in dedicated tables — pms_member_subscriptions, pms_payments, pms_subscription_plans, pms_discount_codes — but its admin shows one screen per member. Filtering by level plus expiry window, sorting by lifetime spend, or bulk-extending expiry dates means clicking through every member individually. SleekView reads those tables directly so you build the columns you actually need, then filter without leaving the list.

Subscription state, payment history, applied discount codes, and content-access scope all live across linked rows. SleekView joins them so a renewal-ops view can show level, expiry date, last payment status, and discount used in the same row. Sort by expiry ascending, filter to "Pro" level, and the renewal call list is built — no exporting to a spreadsheet, no per-member clicking.

Inline edits route through PMS's API where supported, so pms_member_subscription_event and the related hooks still fire — meaning email reminders, capability changes, and any custom integration tied to status changes still work. Bulk-extend expiry on thirty members whose payment retried successfully and the same downstream automation runs as if you'd opened each profile.

Paid Member Subscriptions stores its data well — proper custom tables, indexed columns, clean joins between members, payments, and plans — but its admin still treats each member as a destination, not a row. That worked for a small course site with a handful of members. It does not work for a content business with thousands of members across overlapping levels, a SaaS-style site juggling monthly renewals and dunning, or a finance team reconciling payments by gateway every morning.

The default members list shows fixed columns, filters by level and status only, and forces every edit through a per-member screen. Discount usage, retry counts, and lifetime spend exist in PMS's tables but never surface in the list. SleekView turns the same data into the workspace each team needs: renewals sees expiring members sorted by level, finance filters payments by gateway and discount, support pulls a member's payment history during a call.

Same database, same hooks, same downstream automation — dramatically less clicking.
