WPForms stores every submission in wp_wpforms_entries with a status field that tracks published, spam, or trash and a separate starred flag plus a viewed flag for read or unread. The default WPForms entries screen shows them as a paginated table with simple top filter tabs. That is fine for a low-volume contact form but it collapses as soon as multiple people share triage duty.

SleekView reads the same wp_wpforms_entries table, joins to wp_wpforms_entry_meta for custom field values, and exposes every column as a possible grouping axis. The natural starting point is the built-in status combined with the starred and viewed flags, but most teams add a custom Triage stage dropdown to the form and group by that field so columns reflect their workflow.

Dragging a card across columns updates the entry through WPForms own entry update API, which fires the standard entry status hooks so any Zapier, Mailchimp, or webhook feed wired to status changes runs exactly as it would from the admin. Trashed entries and spam entries are filtered out by default with dedicated trash and spam review boards available on demand.

WPForms is built to make form creation easy, but its entry admin assumes you will read submissions one at a time. That assumption holds for a low-volume contact form and breaks the moment a form becomes part of a workflow with multiple stages and multiple people handling triage at the same time. A kanban board addresses the gap directly: queue visibility.

You see at a glance how many entries are sitting in each stage, which ones have been waiting the longest, and what the team closed since yesterday. Status changes happen with a single drag instead of three clicks per entry, which compounds into significant time savings once you are processing dozens of entries every day. Because every column on the board maps back to a real field on the entry, the board is not a parallel system that can drift out of sync.

Everything you see is exactly what your Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and Zapier feeds already read from the same entry table. New teammates onboard in minutes because the board itself documents the workflow visually. The end result is a WPForms admin that finally matches how operations teams actually run their day.
