CMS Page Type Record

The CMS Page Type record gives you access to the NetSuite records for Site Management Tools page types. The CMS Page Type record gives you access to only the page type, not to the SMT content associated with that page type. A new page type record is also created when a user registers an extension.

You create a new CMS Page using your desired CMS Page Type, then add any desired SMT content to your new page.

The 19.1 release has one standard page type, landing page, that you cannot delete.

You can set the following CMS Page Type Record attributes in NetSuite:
