  1. An eXtendMobile Admin role for creating functions.
  2. The NetSuite saved search ID for the saved search which you are going to create the list function against.

Creating a List Function

  1. Login to eXtendMobile using an eXtendMobile Admin role and start creating a new function. See Creating functions in eXtendMobile application for more information on creating functions.

  2. Select List View as the function type.


  3. After selecting the function type of List View, a configuration screen will openImage Placeholder

    1. Specify a name for your function and specify the NetSuite saved search ID.

      Note: The saved search must have a public audience, or the eXtendMobile integration user must have been granted access to it.

    2. Tap Save.

  4. A list of the saved search's fields will be shown.

    Note:     Currently, reordering fields is not supported. To reorder the field order, the source saved search in NetSuite would need to be reordered.

Advanced List Function Configurations:

  1. Target Function

    For details regarding adding target functions, see Working with function linking.

  2. Formula Fields
    1. If there are formula fields in your saved search, be sure to give each one a unique, custom label to avoid any issues.

    2. If you are using a formula field for creating URLs/Hyperlinks, you will need to set the data type for the field to hyperlink in the field details. You can also specify hyperlink text to be shown from the field details.
  3. URL/Hyperlink Fields
    URL/Hyperlink fields which are configured with link text within NetSuite will not show the link text in eXtendMobile's list view by default. The field details will need to be updated in eXtendMobile to specify link text.
