Applying JavaScript and CSS files

This section describes how to apply customization files created with JavaScript and CSS to an app.
Note that JavaScript and CSS can be applied to kintone only by kintone Administrators. Customization files can be created for PCs and mobile devices (including the mobile app) separately.

The customization files imported into kintone are applied to the following screens of the app:

  • The "View" screen
  • The "Add Record" screen
  • The "Edit Record" screen
  • The "Record Details" screen
    Note that the files are also applied to the "Record Details" screen that is displayed when a record is opened via a notification from the app.
  • The screen to print a record
  • Tables and charts that present aggregate record data
    Note that the files are not applied to charts that are embedded in external sites by embed tags.
  • The aforementioned screens in the app's test environment (only for PC)

  1. Click the App Settings icon (the gear-shaped icon at the upper right of the "View" screen), select the App Settings tab, and then select JavaScript and CSS Customization under Customization and Integration.
