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
| Show or hide the "Add row" button (desktop) | kintone.app.record.showAddTableRowButtons() |
| Show or hide the "Add row" button (mobile) | kintone.mobile.app.record.showAddTableRowButtons() |
| Show or hide the "Delete this row" button (desktop) | kintone.app.record.showDeleteTableRowButtons() |
| Show or hide the "Delete this row" button (mobile) | kintone.mobile.app.record.showDeleteTableRowButtons() |

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.
Please send us any feedback through the Help us improve kintone form.

Tablet appIntroducing "kintone Touch," a tablet app for deskless workers
We're introducing "kintone Touch," a tablet app that lets you build and use forms tailored to the work of non-desk workers (people whose jobs take them away from a desk). This first release is for iPadOS, with an Android version planned for later.
Alongside kintone's existing form screens, this tablet app lets you build forms using an interface designed around how non-desk workers actually work. That makes it easier to create forms people can fill in easily out in the field, and extends kintone — previously built mainly around desk work — to a much wider range of jobs.

■You can set up interfaces for fields that are tailored to how people actually work on site
You can choose from a variety of interfaces designed for on-site work and apply them to your kintone app's fields. For example, you can set up interfaces like these:

You can use the iPad camera to scan a QR code and register the result to a "Lookup" field.




■You can create more than one input form for a single app
You can create several different iPad input forms for a single kintone app.
For example, say you want all your data in one app, but different people enter it at different times. You can set up a separate iPad input form for each situation, so each person only sees the fields they actually need to fill in.

PlatformFurther improvements:
- Front-end infrastructure update (space and thread screens)
- Front-end infrastructure update (space and thread screens)
We're still accepting feedback and feature requests through the Help us improve kintone form.
Improvements to the rich text editor's 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
- Long text no longer breaks the layout — you can now scroll horizontally to read it comfortably.
- Fixed an issue where posts opened from a notification would appear twice
- Prevented accidental double-posting caused by misclicking the "Post" button
Images and files
- Faster loading for threads with a lot of images
- Links set on an image now support "Open in new tab"
- Fixed heading sizes changing unexpectedly when content is copied over using a thread action
Keyboard and assistive technology
- 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, you could build a customization or plug-in that generates text from a record's contents — summarizing a sales meeting, or drafting a reply to an inquiry.
| An API for generating text using generative AI | kintone.ai.generateText() |
REST APIsThe API for searching across kintone now supports searches that include related terms
| All-contents search API | [POST] | /k/v1/search.json |
You can combine it with other search conditions, like sorting by relevance or specifying which apps and spaces to search.
We'll keep working on ways to improve and expand search conditions and results, and we'd love your feedback — you can send it through the Help us improve kintone form.
