Everest Forms stores submissions in wp_evf_entries with columns for form ID, created date, and a status field that holds values like publish, trash, and any custom status registered through filters. The default entries screen renders this as a list table with a status filter, which works for one form and one reviewer but stops scaling when several reviewers are working contact forms, registration forms, and quote requests in parallel.

SleekView reads wp_evf_entries directly and treats the status column as the natural grouping axis. The field values stored in wp_evf_entrymeta are joined in so the card front can show real data instead of an entry ID. Every entry becomes a card, every distinct status becomes a column, and the entire pipeline renders as a kanban any reviewer with the right capability can read or edit live.

Dragging a card from Published to Trashed writes the new status back to the Everest Forms row and fires the standard entry-update hooks, so notifications, integrations, and add-ons tied to a status change still run. Trash is a reversible soft delete, spam goes to its own column without losing the record, and an undo toast on every drag means a wrong move is never destructive.

Everest Forms stores entries with a real status column and a separate meta table for field values, which means the data is shaped for a kanban view long before SleekView shows up. The default list table hides that structure under filter dropdowns and pagination, so the state of the pipeline is invisible until a reviewer drills into each row. A kanban promotes the status to the structural axis of the screen.

Every reviewer can see how many entries are sitting in Publish versus In Review versus Approved, the queue is editable by drag instead of by per-row save, and the writeback path goes through the Everest Forms entry model so every add-on tied to entry updates keeps firing. The capability checks keep writes safe across roles, the filters keep teams focused on the forms they own, and the entire workflow stays inside WordPress against the data Everest Forms already manages.
