In kintone, you can add as many work systems as you need to meet the various needs of your business. These work systems are called "apps". Just as an example, you can create apps for things like timeclock management, travel expense reimbursement, and customer support history.

See below for some examples of apps.
In addition to the examples below, kintone provides a variety of sample apps.

  After adding an app from kintone marketplace, you can configure its settings and change it around as needed.

Even after you create and activate an app, you can change its settings anytime.

kintone apps manage data in unit called a "Record". For example, in an Employee Directory app, we create and manage each employee’s information as a record.
On the other hand, a record consists of multiple items and each item is called a "Field". For example, in the Employee Directory app, each item, such as Name, Address, and Email, is treated as a field.

The records you add to an app are listed on the main screen of the app. This screen is called the "View" screen.
When you want to view the details of a record, open its "Record details" screen from the "View" screen.

The screen for entering record data is called the "app form". Creating an app starts from creating this form.
On the Form settings screen, various types of input fields are available. Create your app by placing the fields that you need on the app form by dragging and dropping them.

When you open an app, a list of added records is displayed.
By default, all fields of all records are listed in the View. However, you can create a new view to filter records, select some fields that you want to display, or change the display format of the view you create.

Example:

• In the Task Management app, list only the records that are assigned to you (the current logged in user)
• In the Employee Directory app, list only records of employees who are still working for your company.
