SleekView Kanban view for Watu PRO
SleekView reads the Watu PRO tables directly, groups each exam attempt by its current status, and lets the team drag cards across Started, In progress, Passed, Failed so the underlying learner record updates as soon as the status column changes inside WordPress.

Why Watu PRO fits a kanban view
Watu PRO writes each exam attempt to wp_watupro_taken_exams with extra metadata kept in wp_watupro_questions. Each row has an ID, a created timestamp, a learner reference, a course reference, the current status, and any score or progress percent the plugin records. The default Watu admin paginates these rows, fine for browsing and weak when a Watu PRO exam coordinator needs to know which exam attempts are still open across every active course today.
SleekView Kanban reads the same wp_watupro_taken_exams rows the Watu admin queries. Pick the status field as the grouping column and every entry becomes a card under Started, In progress, Passed, Failed. Card fronts show the learner, the course, the current step or score, the last activity timestamp, and any flag the row carries so the exam coordinator can act on the right entries fast.
Dragging a card writes the new status back to the Watu record. A move from In progress to Passed flips the status column on the row and timestamps the change. The plugin's own hooks, certificate triggers, email automations, and gradebook entries keep firing, so the board never lives in a parallel universe disconnected from the learner experience that members already see.

Comparison
Default Watu admin vs SleekView Kanban
Default Watu PRO list
- Long sortable list of exam attempts with no triage queue for active learner work
- Course filter reloads the page and forgets the instructor filter just set
- No visual sense of which exam attempts are in progress versus already finished
- Marking a exam attempt complete needs the per-row context menu and a save dialog
- Coordinating a busy cohort needs admin rights and Watu product training
SleekView Kanban
-

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Watu PRO
Native Watu model now
Every column maps to a real status from the Watu record. Certificate triggers, gradebook entries, and email automations keep firing for new exam attempts, so a manual move never silences a real learner event that fires in the sa
Drag-and-drop with trail
Each move writes a status change into the Watu record naming the user who dragged it, the source column, the destination column, and the timestamp. If a lead pushes a card back from Failed to In progress, the chain stays visible
Saved board views per role
Filter to one course for the instructor, to active exam attempts only for the billing team, and to flagged learners older than two weeks for the exam coordinator. Each saved view becomes a shareable URL that opens the right boar
Audience
Where a Watu kanban changes learning work
Morning cohort triage
Course managers scope the board to the overnight queue, drag urgent exam attempts into In progress, and confirm Passed only when an instructor has owned and reviewed. The next shift starts with a bo
Stalled learner outreach
Instructors pull cards in In progress that have not moved in two weeks, watch related exam attempts land in Failed, and coordinate on the same board instead of a chat thread that loses context after
Instructor load balancing
Team leads scope to one instructor, see how many exam attempts are active versus pending, and reassign work so no instructor ends the week with twice the open count of the rest of the team across co
The bigger picture
Why this view matters for Watu learning work
Watu PRO captures every learner action, which is exactly what makes the default admin hard to use across a course team. The sortable list is great when one instructor knows what they want and almost useless when a Watu PRO exam coordinator needs to coordinate a cohort across exam attempts that each need a documented review. Most teams export a CSV, drop it into a sheet, and tag exam attempts by hand.
The sheet drifts within hours. New exam attempts keep landing in Watu without a tag, the sheet records resolutions that nobody copies back, and by end of week the two views disagree on what is still open. A kanban view that reads and writes the same Watu record as the admin keeps the team and the source of truth aligned.
Started surfaces immediately. In progress cards stay visible across shifts. Passed exam attempts carry a documented review and a named instructor, all without leaving WordPress.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Watu PRO
Live. SleekView queries the same wp_watupro_taken_exams and wp_watupro_questions tables the Watu admin reads. Filters apply at the SQL level, so a board scoped to today reflects exam attempts that landed today, not a snapshot exported earlier in the day.
No. SleekView writes the new status into the Watu record. Certificate triggers, gradebook entries, and email automations keep operating on the original record, so a card move never replays a notification or alters a certificate that the plugin already issued earlier.
Yes. The course and instructor fields on every Watu row tag exam attempts with their cohort context. SleekView exposes those fields as filters and board grouping options, so a manager can scope to one course or split each instructor into a separate board.
Yes. Every move runs through current_user_can('edit_others_posts') and the Watu instructor capability before any record write. A subscriber account can drag for personal sorting but the change does not persist, with a toast notification explaining the reject.
Filters are applied at the database query level rather than in JavaScript. A typical board scopes to one course, to active states only, or to today, so the rendered card count stays under a thousand. Older records remain queryable in archive views without slowing the live board.
Yes. The last activity lives on wp_watupro_taken_exams and the step or score is derived from the join with wp_watupro_questions. SleekView exposes both as card fields, so an instructor can spot urgent stalled exam attempts and pick them up without clicking through to each detail page in the admin.
Yes. Premium add-ons add gradebooks, badges, and certificates. SleekView reads the same record fields, so premium features like auto-grading, badge issuing, and bulk certificates continue to fire on exam attempts while the board reflects status changes from every cohort in real time.
Yes. Every drag writes a status change entry into the Watu record naming the user, source column, destination column, and timestamp. The entry uses the Watu metadata API so audits, exports, and downstream automations read the trail without a separate event log.
