Limitations and eXtendFiles
- ⁶ This feature allows you to embed a link
to a PDF from the cloud storage provider
within
NetSuite and have it displayed directly in
NetSuite and on eXtendFiles Collaboration
edition approval webpages. Generally,
object-based storage
solutions support this capability, while
consumer-based storage solutions usually
do not. It's worth noting that for cloud
storage solutions lacking this support,
the file can still be opened and viewed in
a new browser tab using its link. However,
it cannot be embedded and viewed directly
within the NetSuite interface or on
approval webpages.
- ⁷ This feature allows for higher
performance file uploads by uploading
directly from a client device (e.g., a
browser or mobile app) to file storage,
bypassing the server hosting the
application.
- ⁸ This is the ability to generate a signed
or shared link that can be accessed by
those outside of NetSuite and who aren't
authenticated with either NetSuite or the
selected cloud storage.
- ⁹ This eXtendFiles add-on migrates files
from your NetSuite File Cabinet to your
connected cloud storage.
- ¹⁰ If you also have eXtendMobile,
this
is the ability to upload eXtendFiles
records from the eXtendMobile application
via your eXtendFiles-connected storage
provider.
