What is "Boost!"?
kumaneko is a free, open-source web application builder that allows you to easily create a system tailored to your business operations, even without knowledge of system development.
Most of what you want to do can be freely constructed with just the standard features, but using the "Boost! Plugin" will enable you to build a better app!
First, let's introduce each product of Boost!.
Calendar
This is a plugin that generates a calendar-style view.
We use the popular JavaScript library called FullCalendar, so the interface should be familiar.
Gantt
This is a plugin that generates a Gantt chart-style view.
We use the popular JavaScript library called Frappe Gantt, so the interface should be familiar.
Gallery
This is a plugin that generates a photo gallery style view.
It uses the image files stored in each record as thumbnails, allowing you to view a list and check the contents.
IMAP
This is a plugin that downloads incoming emails from the specified email account.
It allows you to centralize email management with kumaneko and improve operational efficiency.
Settings for Using Boost!
"Boost! Plugin" is configured and downloaded via the "Boost! Console".
-
Opening a "Boost! Console"
To open a "Boost! Console", you need an email address and a kumaneko app configuration file.
The app configuration file for kumaneko, which uses the "Boost! Plugin", can be downloaded from its app management screen.
Once you have downloaded the kumaneko app configuration file, click the "Apply for Boost! Console" button below and enter your user email address.
An email containing a URL for user information registration will be sent to the entered email address, so please make sure to enter it correctly.
Once you receive the email with the URL for registering user information, please access that URL.
You will be presented with a user information registration screen where you will enter the user name and upload the kumaneko app configuration file, and if necessary, enter a billing email address as well.
After completing all entries, click the "Submit" button to open the "Boost! Console" and the screen will transition.
The URL to access the "Boost! Console" will also be notified by email upon completion of user information registration.
The password and user email address registered on the user information registration screen will be required for re-login to the "Boost! Console".
-
Setting Up the "Boost! Plugin"
Once the "Boost! Console" is displayed, click the add button (circle in red) to the right of the plugin name you want to use.
To edit an existing setting, click on the setting name (square in red), and to delete an existing setting, click the "×" to the right of the setting name.
When the plugin setting screen is displayed, follow the instructions on the screen to enter information and select items, and finally click the "Save & Download" button.
-
Saving and Downloading the "Boost! Plugin"
Clicking the "Save & Download" button on the plugin setting screen will save the settings and download the program file in zip format.
The name of the zip file will be the name entered in "Setting Name".
If you edit an existing setting, a new program file based on that setting content will also be downloaded in zip format.
Once you unzip the downloaded zip file and import the Javascript file contained within into kumaneko, you will be able to use the plugin.
-
Changing User Information and Re-uploading the kumaneko App Configuration File
Changes to the billing email address, as well as re-uploading the kumaneko app configuration file due to app configuration changes, can be performed by displaying the user information registration screen through the gear button in the "Boost! Console".
Changes to user information can also be accessed via the URL provided in the email sent after the opening of the "Boost! Console".
-
Plugin Usage Environment Restrictions
The user email address registered at the time of application for Boost! cannot be shared across multiple kumaneko environments.
If you attempt to use the same plugin in a different kumaneko environment, a warning will be displayed, so please open a new "Boost! Console" with a different email address in that case.
