Descriptive URLs in Site Builder
With descriptive URLs, shoppers understand the content on each page of your site, from reading the web address. In NetSuite, you can create descriptive URLs that point to each tab, category, item, and image file published on your web store.
By default, NetSuite uses the item record ID in the URL to point to an item detail page. For example, the URL below points to a web store page that displays a flat screen TV:
http://www.mysite.com/it.A/id.151/.f
The descriptive URL provides shoppers with more information about the page, and you have the option to include the parent category in a descriptive URL. For example:
http://www.mysite.com/Home-Entertainment/TVs/Flat-Screen-TV
In Site Builder, you can construct your own descriptive URLs by entering keywords in the URL Component field on tab, category, item records, and image files. Alternatively, you can run the Bulk Set URL Components task to automatically update descriptive URLs on your website.
To use descriptive URLs in NetSuite, first, set up a domain at Commerce > Hosting > Domains. Next, turn on the Advanced Site Customization feature, and the Descriptive URLs feature at Setup > Company > Enable Features, on the Web Presence subtab.
Descriptive Image URLs
You can use the Bulk Set URL Components page to update all image file records in the file cabinet. Here, you can also select a source for generating URL components for images published on your website, such as the image caption, or Alt Image tag. Alternatively, you can enter the URL Component directly on the image file record. Overwriting an image by uploading a new image file does not affect the value in the URL Component field.
