SleekView Kanban for Formidable Forms Pro
SleekView reads the Formidable Forms entries table where every submission is stored, groups every row by the entry status, and lets your team drag a card from draft to complete or spam while the database row is updated in the same write.

Entries are stateful, the default screen pretends they are not
Formidable Forms Pro stores every submission in wp_frm_items with a form_id, a created_at timestamp, and a status column that holds values like draft, complete, spam, and trash. The default entries screen lists those rows with a few filter tabs and a column picker, which is fine for one form and one editor but breaks down the moment several reviewers are working through quote requests, registrations, and survey responses at the same time.
SleekView reads wp_frm_items directly and treats the status column as the natural grouping axis for a kanban. Every entry becomes a card, every distinct status value becomes a column, and the field values stored in wp_frm_item_metas are joined in so the card front can show real data instead of an entry ID. The whole pipeline renders as a board any reviewer with the right capability can read or edit live.
Dragging a card from Draft to Complete writes the new status back to the Formidable row and fires the same hooks the entries screen does, so notifications, conditional logic actions, and views still update. Spam goes to its own column without losing the record, trash is reversible, and an undo toast on every drag means a wrong move never costs the team a real submission.

wp_frm_fields are joined in automatically and the entry status values are detected, so there is no schema mapping or background sync job to set up.
Pick the status column

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Formidable Forms Pro
Hook-friendly writeback
SleekView updates entries through the Formidable entry model, so the standard frm_after_update_entry action and any notifications, conditional logic, or views tied to that hook still run when a card moves between status columns.
Per-form board filters
Filter a board to a single Formidable form, a date range, or a particular field value. Status columns stay intact and only the matching cards render, so the team handling registrations never has to scroll past quote form entries.
Capability-aware drag
SleekView checks the Formidable capability that controls who can edit entries. Reviewers without that capability still see the board and the card details, but drag handles are disabled and the writeback API rejects unauthorised moves server side.
Audience
Three teams that triage Formidable entries on a board
Registration triage
Event registrations land in Draft until payment completes, then move to Complete. Organisers drag late additions in by hand and the card front shows attendee name and ticket tier for the door staff.
Quote pipeline
Quote requests start as Draft if the user saved progress, complete entries move to Quoted, won deals move to Approved. The card front shows the budget field so reps prioritise the right requests.
Survey response review
Survey submissions sit in Complete until product walks through them. Useful responses move to a Reviewed column, spam moves to its own column without deletion, and the active board stays focused on signal.
The bigger picture
Why Formidable data fits a kanban naturally
Formidable Pro already models entries as stateful records with a real status column, which means the data is shaped for a board view long before SleekView shows up. The default list table buries that structure under filter dropdowns and pagination, so the shape of the pipeline is invisible until a reviewer drills into each row. A kanban view promotes the state to the top of the screen.
Every reviewer can see how many drafts are pending completion, how many submissions are spam, and how many real entries are sitting in Complete waiting for action. Drag-and-drop replaces per-row save, the writeback hooks keep Formidable notifications firing, and the role checks keep the writes safe across multi-team setups. The whole pipeline lives inside WordPress against the data Formidable already manages.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Formidable Forms Pro
No. SleekView reads from wp_frm_items and writes status updates through the Formidable entry model, which uses the same status column the entries screen already manages. There is no shadow table, no schema migration, and uninstalling SleekView leaves every entry untouched.
SleekView reads the distinct values in the status column at board load, so any custom status added through a filter automatically becomes its own column. You can rename, recolour, or hide that column from SleekView settings without changing the filter code.
Yes. Each drag is a small write keyed by the entry ID, so reviewers editing different cards never collide. If both grab the same card within a second, the later write wins and a toast warns the first reviewer that the card moved underneath them.
Yes. SleekView calls the same Formidable permission check the entries screen uses for its own edits. Reviewers without that capability see the board and the cards but cannot drag, and the writeback API rejects unauthorised moves on the server side too.
No. Moving a card to the Trash column writes the trash status to the row, which is the same soft-delete state the Formidable entries screen uses. The record stays in wp_frm_items and can be restored by dragging the card back to any other column.
Yes. Formidable stores every submission in the same wp_frm_items table, so a SleekView board can show every entry or be filtered to a specific form ID. Most teams build one board per workflow so the card fields stay relevant per form.
The board polls for new entries on a configurable interval and slides new cards into the matching status column without a full page reload. A manual refresh in the toolbar also forces an immediate update after a known submission event.
Submitter name and form title are the anchor fields, with the submission date as the third scan. Adding a single qualifying field like budget or registration tier on the card front lets reviewers prioritise without opening each entry, which is the main speed win over the default entries screen.
