Overview

The eXtendFiles Inline Link View feature displays a list of eXtendFiles attached to a record, making it easier to view multiple files. The inline link view is configured using an Inline HTML field which can be placed anywhere on a NetSuite custom form using native NetSuite form configuration.

After successful configuration, the inline link view will be shown as a table on the form.

Prerequisites

Before configuring the inline link view feature, ensure that your record type already has eXtendFiles added to it. If it doesn't, first Add eXtendFiles to a New Record Type.

To add inline link view to a record type that isn't already configured, a new Inline HTML field on the target record type will be needed. The Inline HTML field will need to be visible on the custom forms for the target record type where inline link view will be used.

An example field configuration is below. The important details are highlighted. Other details are based on your preferences.

Inbound Shipment Record Deployment

Because of NetSuite restrictions placed on the Inbound Shipment record type, an additional script deployment is needed to enable inline link view on the Inbound Shipment record.
  1. Go to Customization → Scripting → Scripts.
  2. Find the script titled eXtendFiles Suitelet and view it.
  3. View the deployments to confirm if "eXtendFiles Inline Link View iframe" has already been deployed.
    1. If it has, no changes are needed.

    2. If "eXtendFiles Inline Link View iframe" has not been deployed and is not in the deployments list, proceed to the next step.
  4. Click the Deploy Script button to create a new script deployment. Set the following values on the script deployment:
    1. Title of eXtendFiles Inline Link View iframe
    2. ID of _extend_files_inline_iframe
    3. Status of Released
    4. Audience as All Roles
    5. On the Parameters subtab, enter inline_link_view_iframe into the "EXTENDTECH FILES SUITLET DEPLOYMENT" field.

  5. Save the deployment.

Additional Notes

  1. When Amazon S3 is used with multiple buckets, if the configured bucket name in your eXtendFiles settings is different from the bucket name present in the file's URL, signed URL generation will not be available for that link.
