SleekView Kanban for Event Espresso 4 Pro
Event Espresso 4 Pro stores registrations as rows in esp_registration with codes like RPP, RAP, RCN, and RNA. SleekView Kanban reads those rows and renders one card per registration, grouped into columns you can drag cards between to update the status.

Read Event Espresso registrations as a board
Event Espresso 4 Pro tracks every registration as a row in esp_registration with STS_ID as the status code. The built-in codes are RPP for Pending Payment, RAP for Approved, RNA for Not Approved, RCN for Cancelled, RDC for Declined, and RWL for Wait List, with the matching label held in esp_status. Payment data lives in esp_payment and check-in writes esp_checkin against the registration row.
SleekView Kanban reads the same registration rows and groups them into columns by STS_ID. The board shows Pending, Approved, Checked in, and Cancelled as separate stacks. Each card carries the attendee name, the event title, the ticket type, and the registration total from esp_transaction, so organisers see what they need without opening the registration row.
Dragging a card writes the new value back to STS_ID and fires the same hook the registration screen fires. Moving a card from Pending into Approved sends the approval email registered through Messages, moving into Checked in writes an esp_checkin row with the timestamp, and moving into Cancelled flips the status the registration list reads. The audit log records every drag for staff accountability.

Comparison
Default registration list vs SleekView Kanban
Default Event Espresso list
- Registration list is a paginated table sorted by date with STS_ID hidden behind a label
- No way to drag registrations from pending payment to approved to checked in on a board
- Payment, check-in, and cancellation are spread across separate report screens with filters
- Question group answers are buried behind a per-registration modal, not on the card front
- Bulk status changes go through a select dropdown rather than a draggable column move

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Event Espresso 4 Pro
Real registration cards
One card per row in esp_registration with the attendee name, event title, ticket type, and registration total from esp_transaction, plus any question group answer you configured through Event Espresso forms.
Drag to flip STS_ID
Moving a card writes the new STS_ID to the registration row and fires the status change action, so Messages sends the right email and the registration list, the payment report, and the check-in screen all read the new value.
Per-role saved boards
Scope the board so door staff see Approved and Checked in only, organisers see all status codes, and finance gets a board focused on Pending Payment and Cancelled rows with the totals from the linked esp_transaction record.
Audience
Who runs Event Espresso registrations on a kanban board
Door staff at conferences
Open the board on a tablet, find the attendee, drag the card from Approved to Checked in. SleekView writes an esp_checkin row with the timestamp and the registration list reads it.
Conference organisers
Watch registrations move between Pending Payment and Approved through the run-up so the room count and the catering order match the actual confirmed attendee total.
Finance teams on payments
Filter the board to Pending Payment to chase outstanding invoices against the esp_transaction totals in a single pass without opening each registration row by hand.
The bigger picture
Registrations have stages, list views hide them
Event Espresso has a clear set of registration stages. Pending Payment becomes Approved when the invoice is paid, Approved becomes Checked in at the door, and sometimes a Wait List row gets moved up to Approved when a cancellation comes through. The plugin stores all of that in esp_registration with STS_ID as a three-letter code, but the default reading surface is still a paginated list sorted by registration date with the status hidden behind a small label per row.
Seeing how many registrations are still Pending Payment a week out takes a filter, a sort, and a count in your head. SleekView Kanban turns the same data into a board with Pending Payment, Approved, Checked in, and Cancelled as columns, a count per column at the top, and a card per registration with the fields the organiser actually reads. Drag a card to flip STS_ID and the registration row updates, Messages fires the right email, and the payment and check-in reports read the new value because SleekView writes to esp_registration.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Event Espresso 4 Pro
Yes. SleekView reads STS_ID directly and renders one column per code with the label from esp_status. RPP becomes Pending Payment, RAP becomes Approved, RCN becomes Cancelled, RWL becomes Wait List, and any custom code you registered shows as its own column on the board.
Yes. Dropping a card into a new column writes the new STS_ID through the same code path the registration screen uses, so the registration status change action fires and the Messages add-on sends the right email. The audit log records the move with the previous code for staff accountability.
Yes. Moving a card into the Checked in column writes an esp_checkin row with the registration ID and the timestamp. The default check-in report reads the same table, so the board and the report show identical numbers without a separate sync or batch step at the end of the event day.
Yes. SleekView reads esp_answer for any question group you configured and lets you choose any answer for the card front. The value matches exactly what shows in the registration screen because SleekView reads the same row, not a copied or denormalised version stored somewhere else in the database.
Yes. Wait List is one of the built-in STS_ID codes, so SleekView renders a Wait List column next to the others. Dragging a registration into Wait List flips STS_ID to RWL, and dragging back out flips it to RAP or RPP. The wait list emails fire through the registration status change hook as expected.
Yes. Saved kanban views are scoped per role and per capability, so door staff can see Approved and Checked in only, finance can see Pending Payment and Cancelled, and the organiser sees every STS_ID code. The underlying registration data does not change, only what each role reads on the board.
Yes. The board can show registrations across every active event for a conference series, or be filtered to a single event ID for tonight's run. The grouping field stays STS_ID, only the filter changes per saved view, so a series organiser gets a single live board for the whole run.
No. SleekView paginates inside each column and loads card detail on demand, so a conference with several thousand registrations renders the column counts immediately and streams card content as you scroll. Filters and saved views reduce the working set before the board even renders.
