No. SleekView reads Ultimate Member Friends rows live from wp_um_friends on every page load and writes status updates back to the same table. There is no sync job, no second table to keep aligned, and no risk of Ultimate Member Friends dashboards going out of step with the kanban view because the source of truth.

Yes. Every drop sends a SQL update to the Ultimate Member Friends row that changes the friend_status value to the destination lane. Plugin hooks fire as normal so email notifications, role triggers, and analytics events that Ultimate Member Friends already runs on status change still fire when the move happens through SleekView.

Yes. Each lane and each field on a card can be gated by WordPress capability or role. Writers might only see their own friend connections in the pending and review lanes while admins see every lane including hidden and spam. Saved views per role keep that simple to manage without forking the board into two copies.

SleekView Kanban paginates each lane and lazy loads cards on scroll. In practice a board grouping a hundred thousand Ultimate Member Friends rows still opens in under a second because only the visible cards are rendered. Filters and saved views narrow the data further when a single lane itself runs long.

Yes. SleekView checks the same capability that Ultimate Member Friends uses before every status write. A reader who cannot edit a friend request in the Ultimate Member Friends admin also cannot drag that card across lanes on the kanban. The board respects every capability check the source plugin already defined so policy stays.

Yes. SleekView does not replace the Ultimate Member Friends admin screens. The plugin adds an extra kanban view that points at the same wp_um_friends table. Editors who prefer the original list can keep using it, and any third party plugin that adds columns to the Ultimate Member Friends table sees the same data on either.

Yes. Shift click a range of cards or use the lane header menu to select all visible cards, then drag the selection to a different lane. SleekView batches the updates into a single SQL transaction so a fifty card move runs as fast as one, and a partial failure rolls back cleanly without leaving rows in mixed states.

SleekView reads the distinct values in friend_status every time the board loads, so any new value Ultimate Member Friends introduces shows up as a fresh lane automatically. There is no config to change, no rebuild step, and existing cards keep their saved positions inside the lanes you already had on the board.
