SleekView Kanban for Caldera Forms Pro
Caldera Forms Pro keeps form entries in the database alongside any Caldera processor metadata. SleekView Kanban groups each entry by status so the team drags submissions between Active, Pending, Trash, and Spam without scrolling the standard Caldera Forms entries screen.

Caldera Forms entries need a queue view
Caldera Forms Pro writes every submission into wp_cf_form_entries with field values stored in wp_cf_form_entry_values and a status column that flips between active, pending, trash, and spam. The default entries screen at Caldera Forms > Entries shows that as a flat paginated table with status as a small badge column.
That works for a single contact form with twenty submissions a month. It collapses the moment a team runs real triage on a busy lead intake or a support form, because the list view gives no signal about queue depth and no quick way to advance a submission from Active to Pending Review without opening the entry and saving the status field by hand.
SleekView Kanban reads the same wp_cf_form_entries rows, joins to wp_cf_form_entry_values for the chosen card fields, and uses the entry status as the natural grouping axis. Each card shows the submitter, the first non-empty field, and the submission date. Dragging a card writes the new status back through the Caldera Forms data layer, fires the standard entry hook, and the team gets a queue without leaving the WordPress admin.

Comparison
Default Caldera entries vs SleekView Kanban
Default Caldera entries
- Entries land in a paginated list with no visual sense of triage depth or queue state
- Status changes require opening every entry individually, no drag between states at all
- Custom field grouping is not available, the list axis is always submission date order
- Assignee tracking has to live in the message body since no per-card assignee exists
- Team handoffs rely on hand-typed notes that are invisible from the list overview today

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Caldera Forms Pro
Group by any field on the form
Built-in entry status is the default grouping but any dropdown, radio, or checkbox field becomes a column axis. Boards remember the grouping per user so the support lead and marketing lead can see entries through different lenses.
Drag-and-drop updates the entry
Moving a card updates the entry status in the Caldera Forms tables and fires the standard status changed action, which keeps Mailchimp tags, Zapier zaps, and any custom hooks listening to that action in step with the board.
Per-role column visibility
Hide the Spam lane from junior reps, hide the Trash lane from active triage, or expose extra fields only to admins. Permission rules read from the standard WordPress role and capability map you have already configured.
Audience
Common Caldera Forms Pro boards teams build
Contact form triage
Group new inbound contact entries by triage stage so the support team knows what is waiting, what is mid reply, and what closed yesterday without opening every entry on the standard list.
Sales pipeline tracking
Group demo request entries by sales stage to mirror your pipeline directly inside WordPress. Drag a card from Qualified to Demo Booked the moment a call is locked in with the lead.
Newsletter sign-up review
Group newsletter or survey entries by interest segment so the marketing team can scan inbound interest, batch-tag list members, and pass qualified ones to the next campaign.
The bigger picture
Why Caldera entries need a real board
Caldera Forms Pro brought a grid-based field layout to WordPress forms and supports a rich processor model for integrations. The back-end entries surface has always been the weak point. The default entries screen lists every submission as a row in a flat paginated table.
Status sits as a small badge in one column, the message preview is truncated, and there is no quick way to see how deep each review state is at a glance. That is fine for a one-person site running a single contact form. It does not work for a team running real triage through the same form, because the list shows nothing about queue depth, assignment, or what closed yesterday.
A kanban view fixes the visibility gap by mapping every status to a lane and every entry to a card with the most useful fields visible. You see in one scan how deep Active is, who has been sitting in Pending the longest, and how much got cleared since the start of the week. Status changes happen with one drag instead of a click into the entry and a save.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Caldera Forms Pro
The drag writes the new status to the underlying Caldera Forms entry row and fires the standard status changed action, so the change is real and persistent. Any Mailchimp tagging, Zapier feed, or custom integration listening on that action fires exactly as if you had updated the entry from the admin.
 Yes. Any dropdown, radio, or checkbox field defined on the Caldera Forms form can be the grouping axis. Most teams add a custom Triage Stage dropdown to the form, flag it as admin-only, and group on that so the board models their actual workflow instead of the default statuses.
 Entries flagged as spam by the Caldera Forms honeypot or Akismet integration stay flagged on the board. They appear in a dedicated Spam column by default, which keeps the triage lanes clean while still letting an admin scan the spam queue and recover anything that looks like a false positive.
 Yes. Caldera Forms stores the final captured values in the same entry row regardless of how the form was laid out, so multi-page and conditional forms appear on the board just like single-page forms. The board reflects only the values the user actually submitted on the form.
 Yes. Boards are saved as named views and each view can be scoped to specific WordPress roles. A support lead can see a board grouped by ticket status, a marketing user can see one grouped by interest segment, and an admin can see one grouped by spam score on the same entries.
 Yes. Any row written into the Caldera Forms entry table appears on the board regardless of how it got there. Entries pushed in through the REST endpoint or external automation are indistinguishable from native form submissions as far as SleekView Kanban is concerned.
 Yes. The same capabilities that gate the default Caldera Forms admin entries screen also gate the SleekView board. A user without permission to view entries cannot see them on the board, and read-only roles get a board they can view but never drag status changes on.
 Trashed entries are filtered out of every board by default because the trash status is excluded from the underlying query. You can build a dedicated Trash review board that flips that filter to surface only trashed entries for restore or delete decisions without polluting your active triage view.
