Overview

The eXtendFiles Inline Link List Display feature shows a table of eXtendFiles attached to a record so you can view the attached files without needing to navigate to each subrecord.

You configure the feature with an Inline HTML field. Place that field anywhere on a NetSuite custom form using standard form customization.

After configuration, the inline link list display appears as a table on the form:


Prerequisites

  1. Confirm that eXtendFiles is already added to the target record type. If it isn't, first Add eXtendFiles to a New Record Type.
  2. If the configuration page isn't available at eXtendTech → eXtendFiles → eXtendFiles Configuration, add the eXtendFiles Configuration Page Link.
  3. Create an Inline HTML field on the target record type if one doesn't already exist. The field must be visible on each custom form where you want the inline link list display.

Use a field configuration similar to the example below. The highlighted settings are required. Set the remaining options based on your preferences.


Configuration

Follow the steps below to configure the inline link list display for a record type.

Access eXtendFiles Configuration

  1. Go to eXtendTech → eXtendFiles → eXtendFiles Configuration.

  2. Select Inline Link List Display in the left navigation panel.


Configure Display Settings

  1. Set the maximum number of inline links. The default is 200.

  2. Click any row, then select Add to configure a new record type.


  3. To configure settings in detail view, select Detail View. A modal opens with the configuration fields.


Set Up Record Type

In the configuration modal, set the following fields:

  • Record Type: Select the target record type.

  • eXtendFiles Reference Field: Select the eXtendFiles field for the record type. If the field doesn't exist yet, use the link in the modal to open the eXtendFiles field creation page.


  • Inline Record Field: Select the Inline HTML field that will display the links. If the field doesn't exist yet, use the link in the modal to open the field creation page.


Script Deployment Configuration

  1. Follow the on-screen deployment instructions for the required scripts.


  2. Review your configuration details.


  3. Select Submit.

Inbound Shipment Record Deployment

NetSuite places extra restrictions on the Inbound Shipment record type. To enable the inline link list display on that record, complete this additional script deployment.

  1. Go to Customization → Scripting → Scripts.

  2. Find the script titled eXtendFiles Suitelet and open it.

  3. Review the deployments and confirm whether eXtendFiles Inline Link View iframe is already deployed.

    1. If it is, no further changes are needed.

  • When Amazon S3 is configured with multiple buckets, signed URL generation isn't available for a link if the bucket name in your eXtendFiles settings differs from the bucket name in the file URL.
