Overview
This article explains how to make eXtendFiles
records searchable using NetSuite's global
search functionality, allowing users to search
for files by their names.
Configuration
To make eXtendFiles records searchable globally
in NetSuite:
- Navigate to Customization → Lists,
Records, & Fields → Record
Types
- Find and select the "eXtendFiles" custom
record type
- Check the "Include In Global Search" checkbox
- Click Save
Once enabled, the eXtendFiles record type will
appear in global search results when searching
for file names.
Important: When the eXtendFiles SuiteApp is
updated, you will need to re-enable this
preference as updates may reset this
setting.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Why can't I find my files in
global search after enabling this
feature?
A: It may take some time for the
system to reflect the setting. If files are
still not appearing after a few hours hours,
verify that the preference is still
enabled.
Q: Will this affect system
performance?
A: Including custom records in
global search may slightly increase search
processing time, but the impact is typically
minimal.
