SOME FACTS ABOUT NETSUITE USER EVENT SCRIPT

WHAT ARE USER EVENT SCRIPTS?

User Event scripts are server side scripts which are executed when users perform certain actions on records, such as create, load, edit, copy, delete, submit,approve, reject, xedit, cancel etc.


WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF USER EVENT SCRIPT?

To validate field values, to add custom fields, buttons, hide existing buttons and fields, sending emails, restrict user actions etc.


WHAT ARE THE USER EVENT SCRIPT FUNCTIONS?

User Event Script has three functions or trigger points:

Before Load – A Before Load event occurs when a user clicks Edit,View, Make Copy, Email, Print on an existing record, or clicks New to create a new record.


Before Submit – Event occurs when a record is submitted, but before the changes are committed to the database. A Before Submit event occurs when a user clicks Save or Submit on a record.


After Submit – event occurs after the changes to the record are committed to the database. An After Submit event occurs after a user clicks Save or Submit on a record.


CAN WE CALL A USER EVENT SCRIPT FROM OTHER SCRIPTS?

User Event Before Submit or After Submit functions can be triggered from other scripts by submitting the record on which user event script is deployed. But a user event script cannot be called from another user event script and it also doesn't trigger when you submit a custom record via other scripts.


CAN WE EXECUTE USER EVENT SCRIPT AS ADMIN ROLE?


Yes. This can be done from deployment page.


WHAT IS THE GOVERNANCE LIMIT FOR USER EVENT SCRIPT?


1000


HOW CAN WE CREATE CUSTOM BUTTON USING USER EVENT SCRIPT?


Before load function can be used to achieve this. form.addButton method can be used where form is the second parameter in the user event before load script. The form parameter can be used to create new field, button, tabs, sublist or can be used to hide fields or buttons etc.


HOW CAN WE PREVENT USER FROM SUBMITTING A RECORD?


Before Submit function can be used and throw nlapiCreateError api can be used to throw the error in conditions where record should be prevented from saving.


IS THERE ANY LIMIT FOR NUMBER OF USER EVENT SCRIPTS WHICH CAN BE DEPLOYED IN ONE RECORD?


No.


HOW TO EXECUTE ONE USER EVENT SCRIPT SCRIPT AFTER OR BEOFORE ANOTHER?


Scripted Records can be used to place the sequence in which user event scrip needs to be executed.


CAN I ATTACH CLIENT SCRIPT IN USER EVENT SCRIPT?


Yes, form.Setscript can be used in Before Load function to achieve this.


HOW CAN WE GET EXECUTION CONTEXT ?


Using nlapiGetContext().get Execution Context() api. It can be UI, Web Service, CSV, Other scripts ect.


IS THERE ANY API WHICH CAN'T BE USED IN CLIENT SCRIPT?


nlapiScheduleScript, file api, old record api.

Work Around the 1000 Row Limit Returned by Saved Searches in Netsuite

nlapiSearchRecord can return only upto 1000 rows. But there is a work around to retrieve more than 1000 rows. This can be done by first sorting the result based on internal id and then using while loop and use concat method to get all results by internalid number as a filter inside the while loop. The sample code is given below: var filters = new Array(); filters[1] = new nlobjSearchFilter('mainline',null,'is','T'); var columns = new Array(); columns[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn('internalid').setSort();  //sort the result based on internalid var results = nlapiSearchRecord('transaction',null,filters,columns);  //search record var completeResultSet = results;  //copy the result while(results.length == 1000){  //if there are more than 1000 records      var lastId = results[999].getValue('internalid');  //note the last record retrieved      filters[2] = new nlobjSearchFilter('internalidnumber',null,'greaterthan',lastId);  //cre

USING CASE (IF AND ELSE) IN NETSUITE SAVED SEARCH- NETSUITE ACADEMY

While creating a saved search in Netsuite, you want encounter a situation where you want have to display a value depending on some conditions. Such scenarios can be implemented by using sql CASE syntax in the formula field. For eg, in a transaction search, if you want to display a value depending on the transaction type, then you can add a formula text field in coulmn and use CASE as given below: CASE WHEN {type}='Invoice' THEN '0' WHEN {type}='Journal' THEN {status}  ELSE '' END The above field will display 0 when type is Invoice. It will display status of the transaction when type is Journal and for other transaction type, it will be blank.

Understand Core Technology behind SuiteScript 2.0

As a netsuite solution provider we want to share, The core of  SuiteScript 2.0 came from the RequireJs and CommonJs background. RequireJS is a JavaScript file and module loader. It is optimized for in-browser use, but it can be used in other JavaScript environment. Using a modular script loader like RequireJS will improve the speed and quality of your code. Commonjs  defines a module format. Unfortunately, it was defined without giving browsers equal footing to other JavaScript environments. Because of that, there are CommonJS specification proposals for Transport formats and an asynchronous require. In NetSuite Customization and netsuite implementation    RequireJS tries to keep with the spirit of CommonJS, with using string names to refer to dependencies, and to avoid modules defining global objects, but still allow coding a module format that works well natively in the browser. RequireJS implements the Asynchronous Module Definition (formerly Transport/C) proposal. D
