SleekView Kanban for weForms Pro
SleekView reads weForms Pro entries directly from the entry tables, groups them by entry status or any custom field on the form, and lets your team drag cards across columns to advance triage without ever opening the default entry list or clicking into individual rows.

Why weForms entries deserve a real board view
weForms Pro is built by the weDevs team and inherits the typical WordPress admin entry list pattern. Under weForms > Entries you get a paginated table with submitter, date, and a small status column. That is enough when one person handles a single contact form. The moment more than one person is on triage or a form starts collecting hundreds of weekly submissions, the list view stops being useful as an operational dashboard.
SleekView reads from wp_weforms_entries and wp_weforms_entrymeta where weForms persists every submission. It surfaces the built-in status column as the natural grouping axis, the same column weForms toggles between publish, read, trash, and any custom states. Each card shows submitter name, the first non-empty field value, a relative timestamp, and the form name when the board spans multiple forms.
Dragging a card from one column to another writes the new status back to the same row through the weForms entry update path, so any subsequent CRM sync, Mailchimp feed, or Zapier integration that listens for entry changes keeps working as expected. Spam and trashed entries are filtered out of every board by default but a dedicated review board can flip those filters back on for admin clean-up.

Comparison
Default weForms entries list versus SleekView Kanban
Default weForms entries
- Entries land in a paginated list with no sense of triage depth or queue progression
- Status changes need a click into every entry and a save, no drag between columns
- Custom field grouping is not available, the entry list always sorts by submission date
- Assignee tracking depends on weForms ERP add-on rather than a per-card visual signal
- Team handoffs rely on the notes field that is invisible from the entries overview

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for weForms Pro
Group by any field on the form
Built-in entry status is the default grouping but any dropdown, radio, or checkbox field becomes the column axis. Boards remember the grouping per user so the support lead and the marketing manager can each scan the same weForms entries through their own operational lens without ever competing for one shared layout.
Drag-and-drop writes back to entries
Moving a card calls the weForms entry update path, firing entry hooks so any CRM bridge, ERP integration, or Zapier feed listening on entry changes stays in sync. The UI updates optimistically the moment a drop is released and rolls back gracefully if the API write returns an error.
Per-role column visibility
Hide the Trash lane from junior reps, hide the Replied lane from active triage, or expose hidden ERP fields only to managers. Permission rules read from the standard WordPress role and capability map you already configured, so new teammates inherit the right board view from their assigned role automatically.
Audience
Common weForms boards teams build
Contact form triage
Group new inbound contact entries by triage stage so the support team knows what is waiting, what is in progress, and what got closed yesterday without opening every entry one by one in the weForms admin.
Lead qualification pipeline
Group demo request entries by sales stage to mirror your pipeline directly inside WordPress. Drag a card from Qualified to Demo Booked the moment a sales call lands in the calendar with the lead.
Job application review
Group applications by recruiter stage so hiring managers can see who is in screening, who is in interview rounds, and who needs to be sent an offer or rejection without leaving WordPress.
The bigger picture
Why a board beats a weForms entry list
weForms Pro is solid form-building software with a familiar weDevs admin pattern, but that admin pattern was designed for collecting data, not for running operational triage on it. The default entries screen treats every submission as just one row in a list, the same way the orders screen treats orders. That is fine until your form starts pulling in real volume and real people start sharing the work.
At that point the list view tells you nothing useful about how deep each queue is, who is working on what, or what got cleared since yesterday. A kanban board fixes the visibility gap by turning the most important entry field into a set of columns and every entry into a card with the right summary on its face. You see in one glance how many entries are unread, how many are mid reply, and how much got closed since the start of the week.
Status changes happen with a single drag instead of three clicks per entry, which compounds into real minutes saved every day. And because the board reads and writes the same underlying weForms tables, nothing drifts. Hooks fire, CRM bridges sync, Zapier feeds run, and the team finally has a surface that matches how they actually triage the inbox.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for weForms Pro
The drag writes the new status to the underlying weForms entry row and fires the standard weForms entry update hook, so the change is real and persistent in the database. Any CRM bridge, ERP integration, or Zapier feed listening on entry updates will fire exactly as if the change had been made from the default weForms entry admin screen.
 Yes. Any dropdown, radio, or checkbox field defined on the weForms form can be the grouping axis. Most teams add a custom Triage Stage dropdown to the form, flag it as admin-only, and group on that so the board models their actual workflow instead of the default new, read, and replied states that weForms ships with.
 Entries flagged as spam by weForms own anti-spam filters, reCAPTCHA, or honeypot checks stay flagged on the board. They appear in a dedicated Spam column by default which keeps the triage lanes clean while still giving an admin a place to scan the spam queue and recover any submissions that look like false positives.
 Yes. weForms persists every captured value into the same entry meta table regardless of how the form was laid out, so multi-step and conditional forms appear on the board just like any single-step form. The card reflects only the values the user actually submitted, conditional fields that were never shown are simply blank on the card.
 Yes. Boards are saved as named views and each view can be scoped to specific WordPress roles. A support lead can keep one board grouped by ticket status, a marketing user can keep another grouped by interest segment, and an admin can keep a third grouped by spam score, all reading the same underlying weForms entries without ever conflicting.
 Yes. Any row stored in the weForms entry table appears on the board regardless of how it got there. Entries pushed in through the weForms ERP add-on, the weDevs HRM integration, or any external automation hitting the entry endpoint are indistinguishable from native form submissions as far as SleekView Kanban is concerned.
 Yes. The same capabilities that gate the default weForms entries screen also gate the SleekView board. A user who cannot see entries in the standard weForms admin cannot see them on the board, and read-only roles get a board they can view but not drag on, so the security model carries through cleanly without extra configuration.
 Trashed entries are filtered out of every board by default because the trash status is excluded from the underlying query. You can build a dedicated Trash review board that flips that filter to surface only trashed entries for restore or permanent delete decisions without polluting the active triage view with deleted records.
