Get Started
If you are already using the schedule execution plan or real time execution plan, there is no need to execute steps for installing the krewData plug-in, creating the krewData app, setting access rights, or adding the plug-in. You can start using it directly just by setting up license of the new plan.

kintone environment is a prerequisite for using krewData. To set up kintone environment, see kintone documentation.

krewData has two license plans: Schedule execution plan and real time execution plan (added in November 2020). You can choose to have either or both of these plans according to your requirement.

krewData plug-in needs to be added to the krewData apps to use the product. There is a common plug-in file(krewdata.zip) for both plans.

However, as schedule execution plan and real time execution plan have separate licenses, you need to apply for their evaluation version separately to get a serial number for each.

　

【Steps to use】

Steps to use can be divided into two parts:

  1. Installation of krewData plug-in (To be done just once by the system administrator in beginning)
  2. Creation of krewData app (To be done once for every app by the app administrator).
1. Install krewData plug-in

Install the krewData plug-in in your kintone environment. Steps to install a plug-in in kintone environment are standard (Adding/Deleting Plug-Ins). Following are those standard steps mentioned in the context of krewData.

※You can get the krewData plug-in file(krewdata.zip) from website by applying for a free evaluation version.

This process is done by the kintone system administrator.

Create a krewData app using the following steps. These steps are required to be done by app administrator for each app.

  1. Create krewData app using the app template file
  2. Set permissions for the krewData app
  3. Add krewData plug-in to the krewData app
  4. Set the krewData license

(1) Create krewData app using the app template file

Steps to create a krewData app using app template file are standard (Creating an App by Importing a Template File). Following are those standard steps mentioned in the context of krewData.

  4. Click Create App.

(2) Set Permissions for the krewData App

krewData is a plug-in that can aggregate and process the data of multiple kintone apps, create a new kintone app, and update the data of existing apps. It can aggregate or process data of single or multiple business apps. Hence, it is recommended to provide operation rights to a specific administrator only.

Steps to provide permissions in kintone environment are standard (Setting App Permissions). Following are those standard steps mentioned in the context of krewData.

  1. On the Settings page of app, go to App Settings tab and click Permissions > App.
  2. Set the permissions for App creator and Everyone as shown in the image below.

In case of granting permissions to use krewData app to a user other than App creator, set permissions same as App creator. In such case, it is recommended not to give permissions to Everyone. Instead, add an individual user or group to grant permissions.

If a user other than "App creator" has to execute the data editing flow, you need to grant "Add records" permission to that user.

  • Data editing flow of krewData does not support simultaneous editing by multiple users. Please note simultaneous editing by multiple users may lead to loss of editing results or corruption of the data editing flow.
  • The krewData app does not create execution logs if "Add records" permission is not given to the user executing data editing flow.
