UsageThe Usage dashboard now shows your kintone AI usage and AI credit usage
We've added a section to the Usage dashboard where you can check your usage of kintone AI.
In addition to the number of users and times AI features are used, you can also track AI credit usage trends and compare your monthly cumulative usage with your AI credit limit. Use this information to understand how AI features are being adopted within your organization and plan how best to use them.


Audit logsWide license plan onlyAudit logs can now be integrated with SIEM
You can now send cybozu.com audit logs to your SIEM solution and view them there.
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is a system that collects logs from various applications, servers, and other sources. It can be used to investigate incidents and automate and streamline security operations.
By integrating cybozu.com audit logs with your SIEM solution, you can take advantage of its log analysis and anomaly detection capabilities, enabling more advanced monitoring of your logs. You can also centrally manage logs from cybozu.com alongside logs from other systems within your organization, making it possible to investigate them together.

You can generate an API token for SIEM integration from the "Generate API token" screen in "Users & system administration".
Once you register the token with your SIEM solution and configure it there, your SIEM solution will start receiving your audit logs.

JavaScript API (App)You can now show or hide the "Add row" and "Delete this row" buttons in "Table" fields, and retrieve their display state

OtherOther updates, improvements, and fixes
■ Setup is no longer required to view the Usage and Performance dashboards
Previously, you had to enable the Usage dashboard and Performance dashboard under "Feature activation" before you could use them. That's no longer necessary — you can now open them straight from the links on the "kintone administration" screen.
The links now appear under "Dashboards". They previously appeared in the "Other" section.

New features under consideration
These are features currently under consideration for official release.
You can try them out by enabling them on the "Update options" screen in "kintone administration".
We'd love to hear what you think about these features.

Tablet appIntroducing "kintone Touch," a tablet app for deskless workers
This update introduces kintone Touch, a tablet app that lets you create forms specifically for deskless workers (i.e., employees whose work is done away from a desk or office). The initial release is for iPadOS, with an Android version planned for a future release.
You can create forms with interfaces designed around the needs and workflows of deskless workers, separately from kintone's existing forms. This makes it easier to use kintone in the field, and expands its use beyond primarily desk-based work to a wider range of workflows.

■ Customize field interfaces to make them easier to fill in during on-site work
You can choose from a variety of interfaces designed for on-site work and configure them for fields in kintone. For example, you can configure the following types of interfaces.

Use your iPad's camera to scan a QR code and enter information into a "Lookup" field.




■ Create multiple form types for the same app
You can create multiple types of iPad input forms for a single kintone app.
For example, you may want to consolidate data in a single app while having workers with different roles enter data at different times. In this case, you can create separate input forms for each role, so workers only see the fields they need to enter.

PlatformFurther improvements:
- Front-end infrastructure update (space and thread screens)
- Front-end infrastructure update (space and thread screens)
We are still accepting feedback and feature requests through the Help us improve kintone form.
Improved rich text editor display and usability

Improved usability for image slideshows

Improved mobile display

We've also made a number of other improvements since release.
Posting and display improvements
- Long text no longer breaks the layout — you can now scroll horizontally to read it comfortably.
- We fixed an issue where posts opened from a notification would appear twice.
- We prevented accidental double-posting caused by accidentally clicking the "Post" button.
Image and file improvements
- Threads with many images now load faster.
- Image links now support "Open in new tab".
- Heading sizes no longer change unexpectedly when content is copied over using a thread action.
Keyboard and assistive technology improvements
- Screen readers can now read mention suggestions aloud
- Improved focus movement with the Tab key, and focus handling when editing alt text
- The thread list now opens in a new tab with Ctrl+click (Command+click)
JavaScript API (App)New JavaScript API for generating text with generative AI added to the API Lab
For example, by incorporating features that generate text based on record data into customizations and plug-ins, you can summarize sales meeting details or draft replies to inquiries.
| API for generating text using generative AI | kintone.ai.generateText() |
REST APIThe REST API for searching across kintone now supports searches that include related terms
| API for searching across kintone | [POST] | /k/v1/search.json |
Additionally, you can combine it with other search conditions, such as sorting results by relevance or specifying which apps and spaces to search.
We will continue to explore ways to improve and expand the available search conditions and results. We welcome your feedback. You can submit feedback on this API through the Help us improve kintone form.
