Apps in kintone allow you to flexibly adjust their settings to meet your users' changing needs, even after activation.

This article describes how to change the settings of an app.

As an example, this article shows you how to add a "Department" input field to the "Employee Information" app that you created by following the instructions on the page linked below. Since you want app users to select a department from a drop-down list, you will place a "Drop-down" field on the app form.
