Adding/Deleting Plug-Ins (kintone Administration)
A plug-in is a package of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files for setting screens.
Using plug-ins on kintone allows you to extend the functionality of your apps.
The following are the steps to use a plug-in.
- Add a plug-in on kintone Administration.
- Add and set up the plug-in on individual apps.
This article covers how to add or delete plug-ins on kintone Administration.
Importing plug-ins from plug-in files
To use plug-ins provided by developers, such as kintone development partners, add the plug-ins to kintone by importing them from plug-in files.
Do not import any plug-in files unless you trust the source.
-
Click the gear-shaped Settings icon at the upper part of the kintone screen, then select kintone Administration.
Opening the kintone Administration Screen -
Click Plug-ins under Other.
-
Click Import on the upper left side of the screen.
-
Click Browse and select the plug-in file to import ("***.zip").
- Import the plug-in file in zip format.
- The maximum file size for a plug-in file that can be imported is 100 MB.
-
Click Import.
When the plug-in appears in the Imported Plug-ins list, it means that the plug-in is successfully added.
If you want to update the imported plug-in, import the latest version of the plug-in file. The steps to import the file are the same as the steps to import a new plug-in file.
After the plug-in is added by a kintone Administrator, app administrators need to add the plug-in in the App Settings of individual apps.
