Adding Columns to Table Elements
You can add columns to standard Data Table elements within standard or custom mobile processes. For Transfer Table elements, you can add columns to the left table. You can add columns to standard Search Grid elements for custom mobile processes. For both process types, you can add custom or standard columns.
Use an existing or new saved search or RESTlet to retrieve the data for additional columns. Note the following when choosing either of these data sources:
-
The saved search or RESTlet results must have a column that matches one on the standard table. This column is used to merge the data.
-
New columns must contain text data. Those with images cannot be added to standard tables.
-
For saved searches, the record associated with it must support the search.load method. Otherwise, you might encounter an error when trying to add the column.
For example, the wave record supports search.create only and not search.load for search operations. This record cannot be used directly for saved searches that you set up for additional table columns.
For instructions, see Defining a Saved Search or SuiteScript 2.x RESTlet Reference.
To map the retrieved data with those from the standard table, define one or more merge criteria. The data from new columns that you add to a table can be saved to a NetSuite record.
