Simple History writes every logged activity to wp_simple_history with extra context in wp_simple_history_contexts. Each row carries a logger identifier such as SimpleUserLogger or SimplePluginLogger, a level (debug, info, notice, warning, error, critical), an occasions_id for related events, a date, and a human-readable message. The default Simple History dashboard renders these rows as a flat timeline grouped by occasion, which is fine for daily browsing and less useful when a security or ops lead needs to track ongoing investigations across the team.

SleekView Kanban reads the same wp_simple_history rows the Simple History dashboard renders. Pick a derived simple_history_state field that buckets entries by level, logger, occasion group, and a review workflow tag and every event becomes a card grouped under Unreviewed, Investigating, Acknowledged, or Resolved. Card fronts can show the message, the username from the context, the logger, the level, and the date so a lead can scan and triage from a single board without leaving the admin.

Dragging a card between columns writes a review workflow tag into wp_simple_history_contexts. A move from Investigating to Resolved flips the tag and records the analyst and a timestamp. Simple History's own loggers continue to write new entries as they happen, so a manual move never collides with fresh activity that lands in the same minute as the triage action.

Simple History earns its name by making WordPress activity easy to skim and impossible to coordinate. The timeline is excellent for a single admin spotting a recent change and unhelpful when an ops team needs to coordinate a weekly review across multiple shifts. Most teams end up running the audit out of a private Slack channel or a shared spreadsheet, and within a week the Slack channel becomes unsearchable and the spreadsheet drifts out of sync with Simple History itself.

By the third week, the team disagrees on which entries are still open. A kanban view that reads and writes the same wp_simple_history and wp_simple_history_contexts rows as the timeline keeps the audit team and the source of truth aligned. Unreviewed entries surface immediately, Investigating cards stay visible across shifts, and Resolved entries carry a documented decision and a named analyst that the next audit can build on.
