Hosted Tabs

Hosted tabs are useful when you want to display an HTML page along with the presentation tabs on your website, or when you want to link to a page on a different website.

Note that to store HTML files for display on your website, you must turn on the Hosting HTML Files feature at Setup > Company > Enable Features > Web Presence.

To create a hosted tab:

  1. Go to Commerce > Site Builder > Content Management > Tabs.

  2. Click New Hosted Tab.

    You can also create a hosted tab using the Web Site Content Manager at Commerce > Site Builder > Content Management > Content Manager.

    For more information, see Site Builder Web Site Content Manager.

  3. In the Label field, enter a name for this tab. You can enter up to 30 characters of letters and numbers.

  4. Select the site where you want the hosted tab to appear.

  5. In the Link URL field, enter the web address of the site you want to link to.

    Use this format: www.anothersite.com

    When customers click the tab label, they are redirected to the URL you entered.

    Note:

    If you are linking to a hosted page from this tab, skip this step. The URL automatically populates this field when you select your HTML file.

  6. In the Web Site Page field, select an HTML file from the Web Site Hosting Files folder in the file cabinet.

  7. Check the Display in Web Site box to make this tab available to all visitors on your site.

  8. Click Save.

Now, the hosted tab automatically appears in your website. To preview your site, go to Commerce > Websites > Preview Website.

You can also use a hosted tab to display a website made of HTML files that you host in NetSuite. For more information, see Displaying an HTML Site in a NetSuite Tab.

If you want to make a hosted tab only available in your NetSuite account, clear the Display in Web Site box and make a selection on the Audience subtab. For more information, see Creating an HTML Intranet Site.

If you want to publish the tab to a select group of customers, you can choose the audience on the Audience subtab. If you publish the tab to a dynamic group, the tab's audience is updated nightly based on the criteria for the group. For more information, see Working with Groups.
