Record Localization Context
You can use the record localization context for user event and client scripts to filter execution of scripts or to filter workflows.
Developers can use this feature to tailor scripts for specific countries and to prevent these scripts from deploying unnecessarily on records associated with other countries.
Limiting script execution this way provides improved user experience because the number of scripts to be executed is reduced. Using the localization context, the system does not have to load the scripts from the server and execute them to determine whether these scripts are relevant or not.
This use of this feature is limited to customers using the Classic Center or the Executive Center. This means that this feature is only visible to the following roles:
-
Administrator
-
Payroll Setup
-
CEO
-
CEO (Hands Off)
For more information about Centers and Roles, see NetSuite Standard Centers.
This feature also introduces two new entry points for client scripts, localizationContextEnter(scriptContext) and localizationContextExit(scriptContext). For more information about these entry points, see Localization Context.
