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 run 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're unable to set field values on an existing record if the Go To Record action executes on a Before Record Load trigger. Instead, use a Custom action to update fields on an existing record, and then head to the record with the Go To Record action after it's updated. Instead, use a Custom action to update fields on an existing record, and then head to the record with the Go To Record action after it's updated.
If you're not using the field definition area to set field values, you're able to add a URL parameter like record.{field}={value} on any SuiteScript-supported record, and the system will set up that field, just like calling 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.
