Auditing and Data Management

NetSuite supports tracking changes, internal controls, managing transactions, removing personal information, auditing data changes, and avoiding duplicates. See Auditing and Data Management.

System Notes

NetSuite uses System Notes to track any changes made to a record. A system note for a change on a record captures the date when the change was made, who made the change, the role of the user who made the change, the type of change, and the old and new value in the record. System Notes v2 captures detailed changes such as sublist information and groups the changes under high-level actions. Learn about the differences between System Notes and System Notes v2. See System Notes Overview.

Cloud Infrastructure

Best practices for accessing NetSuite through the UI, SuiteTalk web services, SuiteScript, RESTlets, Single Sign-on, SuiteAnalytics Connect, or other NetSuite services. Learn about NetSuite accounts in a cloud environment, traffic health, NetSuite URLs, DataCenterUrls REST service, the REST role service, and more. See Best Practices for Cloud Accounts.

Account Customization

Customize the NetSuite UI and business logic through scripting or through point-and-click options in the UI, create custom roles and customize access, share your customization with other accounts, and integrate information from other systems. See SuiteCloud Platform Customization.

NetSuite Account Types

NetSuite provides customers with various test accounts for developing and testing new applications and customizations. You can use release preview, sandbox, and development accounts without impacting the production account. See Understanding NetSuite Account Types.

Performance

Best practices and troubleshooting tips enable you to optimize NetSuite performance. To help troubleshoot performance issues, use the Application Performance Management (APM) SuiteApp to monitor and manage NetSuite performance for business-critical operations. See Performance.
