Plugins

What Are Plugins

A plugin is a side-menu-level feature added on top of niyase's core features. The core features are limited to "managing information required for tax filing"; everything else (hiring, evaluation, inventory, customer management, etc.) is provided through plugins.

• 1 plugin = 1 side menu (≒ 1 feature group)
• Activating a plugin adds a dedicated side menu and dashboard card
• Displays differently for executives, employees, and customers
• A plugin's settings are consolidated into tabs within that side menu

Audiences

There are three types of plugin users:

Audience	Examples
Executives / managers	Hiring management, HR evaluation, KPI dashboards
Employees	Expense reimbursement, attendance requests, intranet portal
Customers	Application forms, contract management

Plugin Classification

Plugins are organized along four independent axes. Each axis answers a different question, so don't treat "official / certified / custom" as a single three-way choice (for example, a "custom" plugin becomes "official" if niyase builds it under contract, or "certified" if a partner does — the developer axis and the availability axis are chosen independently).

Axis 1: Developer — Official / Certified

• Official plugins: Provided by niyase. Same quality assurance as the core features
• Certified plugins: Provided by partners and approved through niyase's review

Axis 2: Availability and Cost — Standard / Custom

• Standard plugins: No additional cost. Anyone can use them within their cloud plan
• Custom plugins: Developed to fit your own company's or organization's operations. For visibility, you can choose public (available to anyone in the marketplace) or designated spaces only (installable only in the spaces you specify, such as your own company or partner companies)

Axis 3: Deployment — Hybrid / Cloud-Only

• Hybrid: Works both locally (desktop / mobile) and in the cloud
• Cloud-only: Works only in cloud spaces (external service integrations, cross-organization collaboration, and other advanced plugins that depend on server-side capabilities)

Axis 4: Operation Pattern — Standalone / PROVIDER-CLIENT

• Standalone: Self-contained within that space
• PROVIDER-CLIENT: An advanced plugin where the provider's and consumer's spaces are paired to work together (order/delivery, business-partner integration, etc.). Cloud use is a prerequisite

Installation

1. Open Space settings → Plugins tab, or the marketplace (marketplace.niyase.com)
2. Select the plugin you want
3. Run "Install"
4. A new menu is added to the sidebar

Plugin activation is per space. A plugin activated in Space A must be installed again in Space B.

Your Data Survives Deactivation

Disabling a plugin doesn't delete your business data — it's kept, and reactivating the plugin restores it exactly as it was. Syncing has also been made more resilient: after disabling and re-enabling a plugin, desktop and mobile local data now reliably catches up with the server again.

Available in Personal Spaces Too

The same marketplace is available in personal spaces. Personal-oriented plugins such as tax-filing support and household budgeting will be added over time.

Customize Through Plugins

All customization in niyase is done through plugins; the core features are not modified. We recommend developing your company's specific requirements as custom plugins that call the core accounting and HR APIs to implement features with your own specifications.

If You Want to Develop

You can develop custom plugins with the SDK. For developer information, see the developer documentation.
