Custom Fields and Records
Sam Stetler of SolidFire will be presenting. Custom fields and records are a perfect solution for keeping track of your own data in NetSuite or for viewing data of one type, in transactions of a different type. To demonstrate the functionality, we will build a very basic real world contract tracking system during the presentation. This information should give you a jump start to making NetSuite more useful for your end-users and hopefully make you the office hero.
