Limitations and eXtendFiles
- ⁶ This feature allows you to embed a link to
a PDF from the backend storage within NetSuite
and have it displayed directly in NetSuite.
Generally, object-based storage solutions
support this capability, while consumer-based
storage solutions usually do not. It's worth
noting that for backend 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.
- 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 backend storage.
