NetSuite: HTML Script Notes

This Google Chrome Extension developed by David Smith allows JSON Objects in the Execution Log to display in a hierarchical tree for easier readability. This extension automatically finds Key:Value pairs and color codes them accordingly. For extended functionality, HTML tags can be used in your script logs to improve readability.In our example, we created a simple dayJson object that contains a numerical map – days of the week then use nlapiLogExecution and JSON.stringify to display the Object in the Execution Logs.

After uploading and running the script in NetSuite you can see the results displayed within the Script Records Execution Logs.

NetSuite Field Explorer

The NetSuite Field Explorer Google Chrome Extension developed by Michoel Chaikin, still in early beta, allows you easily view, search, and filter NetSuite Record Fields. Not only does this plugin show the record field IDs, but also shows the current field values as a JSON Object. For example, if you view a checkbox field that is checked, the value of that field will display as “T” for True. To use this extension, simply navigate to the record in NetSuite you want to view, then click the icon on the top right of your Google Chrome Browser.
