Formidable Forms stores entries in wp_frm_items with values broken out to wp_frm_item_metas and a top-level form_id and post_id link. Each entry carries a form_id, created_at, is_draft flag, and either publish, draft, pending, or trash on the linked post when post creation is enabled. The default Entries screen renders a paginated table.

SleekView reads the same wp_frm_items table, joins meta on demand, and surfaces every field defined in the form builder as a possible grouping axis. The natural status is the linked post status when post creation is enabled, or the draft flag combined with a custom Stage dropdown when it is not. Either way, the board models the real workflow rather than collapsing everything into a flat list.

Dragging a card writes back through the Formidable entry update API and respects the frm_after_update_entry action so any Views, PDFs, or Zapier feeds tied to entry changes continue to fire. Entries flagged as drafts from save-and-continue forms are filtered out by default, and trash is hidden from default boards but available through a dedicated trash review board.

Formidable Forms is a flexible engine for collecting structured data, but its admin assumes you will read entries one at a time. That assumption holds for a basic contact form and breaks down the moment a form becomes part of a workflow with multiple stages and multiple teammates handling triage in parallel. A kanban board addresses the missing layer: queue visibility.

You see at a glance how many entries are sitting in each stage, which ones have been waiting the longest, and what the team closed since yesterday. Status changes happen with a single drag instead of opening each entry edit screen and saving, which compounds into real time savings once you are processing dozens of entries every day. Because every column maps back to a real field on the entry or its linked post, the board is not a parallel system that drifts out of sync.

Everything you see is exactly what Formidable Views, PDFs, Zapier, and your other integrations already read from the same entries table. New teammates onboard in minutes because the board itself documents the workflow visually. The result is a Formidable admin that finally matches how operations and review teams actually run their day-to-day work.
