Field Groups
When your account administrator upgrades your existing forms to include the Form Layout Enhancements, the fields on your record pages are reorganized into field groups. Field groups organize related data into logical groups.
The following screenshot shows fields organized into six field groups. By default, the Primary Information field group will appear on all record pages when the Form Layout Enhancements are deployed by your account administrator. Some of the other field groups on this page can also appear, depending on the form type, the data in the form, and the features enabled in your account.
In the main body area of the standard vendor form (shown in the following screenshot), fields have been automatically organized into the Primary Information, Email | Phone | Address, and Classification field groups.
Notice that field groups can also appear on subtabs. The Financial subtab shows the Account Information, Balance Information, Tax Information, and Project Information field groups.
Administrators can use SuiteBuilder to customize field group titles, order, and layout. For information about customizing field groups, see Configuring Field Groups in the NetSuite Help Center.
When administrators upgrade the standard and custom transaction and entry forms in your account, NetSuite automatically groups all standard, built-in fields. Custom fields remain on the subtabs they were previously assigned to, unless they were assigned to subtabs that have been removed. In this case, after the upgrade occurs, custom fields will automatically be placed on a subtab called Custom. Account administrators can then reassign these fields to other subtabs if they choose.
For detailed information about how standard and custom fields are reorganized into field groups, NetSuite administrators should see Understanding Form Layout Enhancement Upgrade Logic in the NetSuite Help Center.
