Bookings Pro stores every reservation as a row with a status column whose values are pending, confirmed, paid, cancelled, or completed. The default admin lists those reservations in a flat table sorted by reservation ID with the status as a small column per row, which works for a side hustle and breaks down once you handle dozens of bookings a week.

SleekView Kanban reads the same reservation table and treats the status column as the natural axis to group by. Each card surfaces the customer name, the service, the booked start datetime, the staff member or resource, and the total. Columns mirror your real Bookings Pro statuses, so a glance tells you how many requests still need confirmation, how many are ready for tomorrow, and how many cancellations still owe a refund.

Drag a card from Pending to Confirmed and SleekView calls the same Bookings Pro update path the admin dropdown uses, which fires the confirmation email, updates the booked-slots calendar, and triggers any payment hook you already configured. Drag to Cancelled and the refund and notification flows run through Bookings Pro so payment integrations handle the money side consistently.

A reservations site sells time, not products, and time runs out whether you act on it or not. Bookings Pro stores every reservation cleanly in its own table, but the default admin gives you a list sorted by reservation ID, which is the order they came in, not the order they need attention. That works for a quiet practice and falls apart the moment you have a phone ringing and a deposit window closing.

The board view fixes this by making the only state that matters, the reservation status, the primary axis of the screen. You can see at a glance how many requests still need a confirmation, how many of yesterday's confirmed slots actually paid, and how many cancellations still need a refund. Cards make individual reservations legible at the level of customer, service, staff, start time, and money, which is exactly what a front desk needs.

Drag is the natural verb for moving a reservation from one stage to the next, and because SleekView writes through Bookings Pro's own functions, every drag still triggers the confirmation emails, the calendar updates, and the deposit captures you already configured. List view and board view become two reading surfaces over the same data instead of a tradeoff.
