Glossary

Definitions of niyase's own terms (space, talent list, core features, etc.) and related links.

A

Account

Audit log

A history that records all write operations in a tamper-proof form (WORM). Viewable from Space settings → Audit log. → Security

C

Central DB / WS DB

The tenant-isolation design of the cloud DB. Common information lives in the Central DB, and each space's business data is stored in an independent WS DB.

Core features

niyase's central features. Narrowed down to "managing information essential to paying taxes." Business entity, HR, attendance, payroll, accounting, financial close, and tax. → Feature list

CRUD

Short for Create / Read / Update / Delete. Appears frequently in this documentation.

E

Encryption (at-rest / in-transit)

at-rest = encryption while stored, in-transit = encryption during communication. niyase performs both.

F

Focus mode (discontinued)

A mode concept from the old sidebar. It has now been consolidated into the rail sidebar, which always shows all categories and supports pinning, and has been discontinued. → How navigation works

L

Local-first

A design that places the source of truth on the device side and treats the cloud as a replica. Adopted by niyase's desktop / mobile. → Sync and consistency

M

Marketplace

The plugin distribution site. marketplace.niyase.com.

Membership

A record representing that an account belongs to a particular space. Has a role (OWNER / ADMIN / MEMBER, etc.).

N

niyase

The name of this service. It derives from "enjoying each day" (nichijō o tanoshimu).

O

Ownership transfer

The procedure for handing the owner (OWNER) role of a space to someone else. Owners can no longer be added by invitation — you invite your successor as a member first, and once they've joined, this procedure hands over the owner role. → Members

P

Passkey

Passwordless authentication using public-key cryptography. niyase supports it as well (recommended).

PAT (personal access token)

Personal Access Token. A token you issue yourself for API access. Setting an expiration date is mandatory, tokens can be revoked in bulk, and PATs cannot be used to retrieve full sensitive data (fullData). → Account

Personal space

A space for personal use rather than work. Up to one can be created per account. → Spaces

Plugin

An extension at the side-menu level. By cost and availability it is divided into "standard (free) / custom (developed for your own organization, with visibility either public or to designated spaces only)," and by developer into "official / certified." Can be added from the marketplace. → Plugins

Profile

Display information tied to an account (display name, icon, etc.). The "local profile" is handled separately as a device default.

R

On mobile, a circular shortcut menu that expands when you tap the palette FAB. The center button is the camera (for instantly scanning a receipt), and the surrounding 6 slots show pinned menu items and suggestions. Long-press launches voice input directly, and swiping up opens the full palette (keyboard input). → How navigation works

The sidebar layout used by cloud / desktop / admin. Two columns: rail 1 (choosing a category and pinning) and rail 2 (the list of items in the selected category). Replaces the old top horizontal app bar. → How navigation works

RLS (Row Level Security)

Postgres row-level access control. niyase applies it to all tables.

Role

The permission hierarchy within a space. OWNER / ADMIN / MEMBER + custom roles defined by plugins.

S

Shelf

On mobile, the counterpart to the rail sidebar: a two-level drawer that overlays from the left of the persistent header, bringing the same rail-sidebar thinking to touch interaction. → How navigation works

niyase's authentication terms ("sign in" and "sign out" are not used). Sign up = create an account, log in = authenticate, log out = end the session.

Slug

The identifier used in a space's URL. Example: acme. A slug that has been used once cannot be reused.

SOC 2 Type II

A U.S. audit standard concerning security, availability, and more. niyase operates at this level: SOC 2 Type II (certification in preparation).

Space

A data management unit. 1 corporation / 1 business / personal use = 1 space. → Spaces

Sync (cloud sync)

Automatic linkage between the local DB and the cloud DB. ON/OFF per space. → Sync and consistency

T

Talent (employee)

Member information transcribed into a space. A separate concept from an account. Space operations use the talent list.

X

XBRL

A structured format for financial statements. niyase generates XBRL for e-Tax (electronic filing with Japan's National Tax Agency) from the Financial close menu. XBRL output for the FSA's EDINET system (e.g. for consolidated statements) is out of scope.
