Go To Record Action

Use the Go To Record action to redirect users to a record in NetSuite. The record type to redirect to does not have to be the same record type as the workflow's base record type.

Note:

Workflow definitions require a trigger configuration that initiates the workflow, executes an action within a workflow or transitions the workflow from one state to another.

For more information about which workflow triggers the Go To Record action supports, see Workflow Triggers Quick Reference.
To understand when different workflow triggers execute and which trigger you should use, see Workflow Triggers and the SuiteFlow Trigger Execution Model.

Go To Record Action Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when working with the Go To Record action.

You cannot set field values on an existing record if the Go To Record action executes on a Before Record Load trigger. This limitation applies to Set Field Value and Go To Record actions. Instead, use a Custom action to update fields on an existing record, then use the Go To Record action to go to the record after it has been updated.
If you do not use the field definition area to set field values, on any SuiteScript supported record you can add a URL parameter such as record.{field}={value} and the system will initialize that field, as if you had called setFieldValue in a before load event handler.
The Go To Record action is not available on a Before Record Submit or After Record Submit trigger for a time entry record.
