kTools for kintone (English version)

About kTools

In the operation of kintone, and the development and management of applications, we compiled useful functions into a single toolbox distributed as an app template. In the past, if you wanted to change app settings programmatically, you had to execute JavaScript directly from the console while opening each application — a difficult and error-prone method for non-engineers.

kTools combines commonly used app-management functions into one app. Each feature is based on samples from the developer network, but making them available from the app lets ordinary kintone administrators work more efficiently with fewer mistakes.

What you can do（1.1 beta）

1. Copy field

   Copy field settings from one app to another. Useful when you need the same selection options (radio button, drop-down, check box, multi-choice) across multiple apps without typos or omissions. You can also use a master app to distribute fields to other apps.

2. Selection field creation

   When option data already exists in Excel or on a web page, paste line-separated values into a text area to create selection fields in one step.

3. Change field codes

   Enter an app ID to retrieve field information from the form and update field names and field codes in bulk. Supports apps with tables (Ver. 1.1).

4. Change user settings

   Bulk-change users assigned in process management or app permissions (e.g., user A → user B). Helps prevent missed updates during transfers or retirements.

5. Change app layout (row move)

   Move an entire row of fields on the form up or down, including subtables. Works on mobile browsers as well.
