Sublists and Subtabs

After administrators deploy a form with the Form Layout Enhancements applied, the subtabs and sublists that appear on the form will change. End users will notice that new subtabs and sublists have been added. For more information, see Added Subtabs and Sublists. They will also notice that certain subtabs and sublists have been removed. For more information, see Removed Subtabs and Sublists.

The subtab and sublist changes associated with the Form Layout Enhancements were implemented by NetSuite to create more consistency across the application. Across all records, subtabs and sublists now have a more consistent pattern of naming and placement.

Removed Subtabs and Sublists

If your account administrator has not yet deployed Form Layout Enhancements to your account, you will notice that there are no changes to the organization of the fields or subtabs on a page.

However, if you are viewing forms with the Form Layout Enhancements applied (meaning that your account administrator has deployed the upgraded forms to your account), you will notice the following subtabs have been removed:

Entity Forms:

• General

• Info

Item Forms:

• Basic

• History

• Rev Rec / Amort (note: subtab fields have been moved to the Revenue Recognition / Amortization subtab)

• Specials (the fields on this subtab are moved to the Web Store subtab when you deploy the upgraded form)

CRM Forms:

• General

• History

Transaction Forms:

• Carrier

• General

• History

• International

• Packages

• Revenue (the fields on this subtab are moved to the new Accounting subtab when you deploy the upgraded form)

Other subtabs not removed but relabeled:

• Related Info (CRM forms) relabeled to Related Records

Fields that used to reside on these subtabs have been moved to new locations on the form or to another subtab.

Important:

If you are a SuiteScript developer and you have referenced any of these unsupported tabs in your scripts, you will need to modify your scripts to reference existing subtabs. Note that the IDs for all new subtabs are provided in the SuiteScript Records Browser.
