Easy Appointments stores every appointment as a row in ea_appointments with a status column whose values are pending, confirmed, cancelled, or reservation for blocked slots. The default admin lists those appointments as a flat table sorted by start time with the status as a small column per row, which works for a quiet calendar and breaks down once you have a steady stream of bookings across multiple staff.

SleekView Kanban reads the same ea_appointments table and treats the status column as the natural axis to group by. Each card surfaces the customer name, the service, the worker, the start datetime, and the price. Columns mirror your real Easy Appointments statuses, so the pending stack and the confirmed 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 Easy Appointments update path the admin uses, which fires the confirmation email and refreshes the front-end calendar. Drag to Reservation to block a slot without an actual booking and the slot is removed from public availability. Per-worker boards keep each provider focused on their own rows without changing how the shared database works.

Easy Appointments captures bookings cleanly. The default admin lists them in start-time order, which works for a one-worker calendar and falls apart the moment two providers, three services, and a phone all want attention. The board view fixes this by making the only state that matters, the appointment 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 completed, and how many slots have been blocked as Reservations for cleaning or maintenance. Cards make individual appointments legible at the level of customer, service, worker, location, start time, and money, which is exactly what front-desk staff and providers need to plan a day. Drag is the natural verb for moving an appointment from one stage to the next, and because SleekView writes through Easy Appointments's own update functions, every drag still triggers the confirmation emails and the calendar availability changes you already configured.

List view and board view become two reading surfaces over the same data instead of a tradeoff.
