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

Submissions are stateful, the entries page is not
Kali Forms stores every submission in its own entries table with a form ID, a created date, a JSON blob of field values, and a status column that distinguishes new entries from read, spam, and trashed ones. The default entries screen lists those rows with a few filter tabs, which is fine for one form and one reviewer but stops scaling when a team is triaging contact forms, quote requests, and event registrations side by side.
SleekView reads the Kali Forms entries table directly and treats the status column as the natural grouping axis. Every entry becomes a card with the fields you choose pinned to the front, every distinct status value becomes a column, and the whole pipeline renders as a kanban any reviewer with the right capability can edit live.
Dragging a card from New to Read writes the new status back to the Kali Forms row and fires the same submission hooks the entries screen uses, so notifications, integrations, and add-ons tied to a status change all still run. Spam goes to a dedicated column without deleting the record, trash is reversible, and an undo toast on every drag keeps the team safe from stray drops.

Comparison
Kali Forms entries vs SleekView Kanban
Default Kali Forms entries
- Default entries screen is a flat list with tabs, no side-by-side status columns
- Status changes require opening each entry, no drag-and-drop pipeline view
- Field values are hidden until each individual submission is opened by a reviewer
- Filtering by form, date, and status uses dropdowns that reset on every reload
- Multiple reviewers share a single list with no visible ownership of work
SleekView Kanban
- Reads the Kali Forms entries table live with field values resolved per row
-
Groups by the real entry
statuscolumn, custom values included - Drag-drop writes update the row and fire the standard Kali Forms hooks
- Card front fields are configurable per board, not hardcoded to defaults
- Undo toast catches stray drops within a five-second window before commit
Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Kali Forms
Drag-to-update writeback
Move a card from New to Read and SleekView updates the Kali Forms row in the same transaction. The submission lifecycle hooks fire, so notifications, integrations, and conditional logic tied to status changes still run reliably across the install.
Per-form board filters
Filter a board to a single Kali Forms form, a date range, or a particular field value. Status columns stay intact and only the matching cards render, so the team handling quote requests can ignore the contact form noise entirely.
Capability-aware drag
SleekView checks the Kali Forms capability that controls entry editing. Reviewers without write rights still see the board and read the cards, but the drag handles are disabled and the writeback API rejects unauthorised moves server side.
Audience
Three teams that triage Kali Forms entries on a board
Contact form inbox
Contact messages land in New, support drags them to Read once acknowledged and to Replied once answered. The card front shows the message excerpt so reviewers triage without opening every single entry one at a time.
Quote request pipeline
Quote forms drop into New, account reps move them to Qualified or Quoted. The card front shows the budget field and the company name so reps prioritise the high-value leads and skip the small ones quickly.
Event registration triage
Event signups move from New to Confirmed once payment is verified. Cancellations move to a Cancelled column instead of being deleted, which keeps the audit trail clean for the finance team.
The bigger picture
Why a board fits the Kali Forms data model
Kali Forms submissions are stateful records with a real status column, so the data already has the shape a kanban needs. The default entries screen hides that structure under pagination and filter tabs, which means the state of the pipeline is invisible until a reviewer opens each row. A kanban view promotes the status to the structural axis of the screen.
Every reviewer can see how many entries are waiting in New, how many are sitting in Read, and how much spam slipped through the filter, and the team can move work along by drag instead of by per-row save. The writeback path keeps the board and the Kali Forms database in lockstep, the capability checks keep the writes safe across roles, and the per-form filters keep one team's noise out of another team's queue. The result is a workflow that fits the value of the submissions Kali Forms collects.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Kali Forms
No. SleekView reads from the existing Kali Forms entries table and writes status updates back into the same column the plugin already manages. There is no shadow table, no schema migration, and uninstalling SleekView leaves every entry untouched in its original row.
SleekView queries the distinct values in the status column at board load, so any custom status value automatically becomes its own column. You can rename, recolour, or hide that column from SleekView settings without modifying the add-on at all.
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 capability check Kali Forms uses on its own entries screen. Reviewers without that capability still see the board and the cards but cannot drag, and the writeback API rejects unauthorised moves 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 entries screen uses. The record stays in the database and can be restored by dragging the card back to any other column.
Yes. Kali Forms stores every submission in the same entries 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 to the form on display.
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 quick scan. Adding a single qualifying field like budget or message excerpt on the card front lets reviewers prioritise without opening each entry, which is the main speed win.
