Calendarista Premium stores every reservation with a status column whose values are pending, confirmed, paid, cancelled, or rejected. The default admin shows a schedule grid plus a reservations table, both of which make it hard to see at a glance how many bookings sit at each stage of your workflow today.

SleekView Kanban reads the same Calendarista reservations table and treats the status column as the natural axis to group by. Each card surfaces the customer name, the service or item, the start datetime, the duration, and the total. Columns mirror your real Calendarista statuses, so the pending stack and the paid stack each read as a single number rather than as labels scattered across rows.

Drag a card from Pending to Confirmed and SleekView calls the same Calendarista update path the admin uses, which fires the confirmation email, updates schedule availability, and triggers any payment hook you have configured. Drag to Cancelled and the refund and notification flows run through Calendarista so any payment gateway integration handles the money side consistently. Per-resource boards keep each operator focused on their own rows.

Calendarista Premium is excellent at the question that schedule grids answer well: is this resource free at this time. It is less useful for the question that runs a small operation, which is what do I still owe somebody. The board view changes that by making the only state that matters, the reservation status, the primary axis of the screen.

You can see at a glance whether you are caught up on confirmations, whether yesterday's confirmed bookings actually paid, and whether any cancellations need a refund. Cards make individual reservations legible at the level of customer, service, time, duration, and money, which is exactly what an operator needs. Drag is the natural verb for moving a reservation from one stage to the next, and because SleekView writes through Calendarista's own functions, every drag still triggers the confirmation emails, the availability changes, and the deposit captures you already configured.

Schedule view and board view stop being a tradeoff and start being two reading surfaces over the same data, each appropriate to a different question.
