SearchAll-contents search can now include or exclude specific apps and spaces
In the filter section for all-contents search, you can now limit the search to specific apps and spaces, or exclude them from your search. For example, you can search only the apps and spaces you use for your work to find all the information you need about a project. Or, if one app is returning too many results and you know the information you're looking for isn't there, you can exclude that app from your search.
To add conditions, click "Filter by app or space" in the "Filter" section of the all-contents search screen.
You can add multiple apps and spaces and choose whether to include or exclude them from your search.
App managementMore columns can now be used as filter conditions on the app list
In the app list on the "App management" screen, we've added 11 columns that can be used as filter conditions. You can now filter apps by "API tokens", "Webhooks", "App group", "Created by", and more. Just for example, you could filter for apps that have API tokens or webhooks configured to check their external integrations, or specify a particular app group or creator to find certain apps that need to be reviewed.
11 new columns from the app list can now be used as filter conditions.
The columns added as filter conditions in the September 2026 release are as follows:
ID / App group / Fields / API requests per day / API tokens / Webhooks / Attachments / Guest users with access / Creator / Created date and time / Last updated by
PlatformFront-end infrastructure renewed (top page of the App settings screen)
To speed up product improvements going forward, the kintone development team is progressively renewing the front-end technology infrastructure that's been in use since kintone first launched, screen by screen. This time, the front-end infrastructure has been renewed for the main "App settings" screen. Its layout and components have been updated, including the "Form", "Views", "Graphs", and "App settings" tabs.

New features under consideration
Here are the features we're currently considering.
You can try them out by enabling them on the Update options screen in kintone administration.
| Process analysis | Use your process history to visualize how long records stay in each status. |
|---|---|
| Platform | Front-end infrastructure renewed for the "Export to file" screen |
* Note that features under consideration may have their specifications changed, or their availability on the Update options screen started or ended, at any time — not only during regular maintenance.
Process analysisUse your process history to visualize how long records stay in each status.
This in-development feature lets you see how long records have stayed in each status in apps with process management enabled. This helps you identify and understand bottlenecks in your app workflows.
You can specify the fields to use for grouping and the records to include in the analysis, allowing you to analyze workflows from different perspectives depending on your needs. You can also specify the period to analyze, which lets you focus on a specific period of time, such as the period after implementing a process improvement. We plan to continue adding features that enable you to analyze your workflows from a wider range of perspectives.
- You can open the Process analysis screen by clicking Analyze process on the view screen.
- Open Analysis settings to choose the field to group by, the conditions for filtering records, and the period of history to cover.
- You can check the total time spent in each status, so you can see how long records have been sitting at each stage.
