Core features

From entering and searching data to notifications, workflow and sign-in methods, Exment has everything a business system needs.

Data list

View the data in your web database as a list. Choose which columns to show, right on screen.

Data editing

Enter, add and change data easily on screen.

No-code tables and columns

Add and change table and column settings on screen, without code.

Search related data together

Display the data you want to review together in one go, such as "customers in a certain category" or "contracts for a certain customer." Related data you used to check across separate spreadsheets and files can easily be shown in one list.

Bulk import and export

Import and export data in bulk with CSV or Excel files. Fill in the provided template to register large amounts of data without entering records one by one.

Cascading filters

When you pick a value in one column, the choices in a related column are narrowed down by that value.

Notifications

Send notifications to users, email addresses, Slack and Microsoft Teams.

Dashboard

Show the lists you care about on the home screen, such as contracts up for renewal or open tasks.

Summary view

Group data and show totals, counts, maximums, minimums and more. On the dashboard, you can display charts based on summary view settings.

Calendar view

Choose a date column to display data on a calendar.

Backup and restore

Back up and restore settings and data together. Set a schedule for automatic backups. Restore a backup in another environment to move the whole environment (for example, templates and data built in a test environment to production). * Always test before moving an environment.

Templates

Export system definitions such as tables and columns as a template, and import it into another Exment.

Document output

Create documents such as quotes and invoices on screen from your registered data. * The standard feature outputs Excel files from Excel templates. For PDF output, see this page (in Japanese).

Workflow

Set up request and approval flows. For each status, decide on screen who can take action and whether data can be edited, making it ideal for expense claims and approval requests. Since 7.0, you can design the flow visually.

Sign-in methods

Configure sign-in methods such as single sign-on and two-factor authentication.
