Version: eXtendFiles 1.7.0 and above
Audience: Administrator

Overview

eXtendFiles 1.7 and later feature a more interactive and user-friendly configuration interface for managing features and settings. This article explains how to enable this new page in compatible accounts.

Prerequisites

  • Administrator access to NetSuite and eXtendFiles 1.7 or later installed in your account.
  • The legacy eXtendFiles Setup script deployment ID must be: CUSTOMDEPLOY_EXTEND_FILES_SETUP
If your deployment ID is currently customdeploy3 or any other value, you'll need to update it to CUSTOMDEPLOY_EXTEND_FILES_SETUP to ensure compatibility with the new configuration page. See the additional notes section below for more information.

Configuration

To enable the new configuration interface, you'll need to create a script deployment and add a center link. Follow the steps below:

Create a new script deployment under the “eXtendFiles Suitelet” script to enable the configuration interface:

  1. Navigate to Customization → Scripting → Scripts
  2. Locate and open the eXtendFiles Suitelet script
  3. Click Deploy Script and configure the following:
    • Set Status to Released
    • Set Log Level to Audit

  5. Save the deployment
