How to Make a Custom Record Type Accessible Under Lists > Employees in NetSuite
Learn how to configure the links subtab of a custom record type to ensure it appears correctly within the NetSuite Lists > Employees menu.
Short answer
To make a custom record type accessible under Lists > Employees, configure its links subtab by selecting Center (Classic Center), Section (Lists), Category (Employees), and a Label. Also, set Insert Before to "Employee". If the link doesn't appear, clear your browser cache or log out and back into NetSuite.
Scenario
Users may encounter an issue where a newly created custom record type is not visible in the expected NetSuite menu path, specifically under Lists > Employees, despite initial configuration attempts. This can prevent users from accessing and utilizing the custom record.
Solution
To ensure a custom record type is accessible under Lists > Employees, follow these configuration steps:
When editing the custom record type, navigate to the Links subtab.
Configure the following fields:
- Center: Classic Center
- Section: Lists
- Category: Employees
- Label: [Enter the desired label for your custom record]
- Insert Before: Employee
If the custom record link does not appear after saving, it may be due to a caching issue within NetSuite or your browser. To resolve this, try one of the following:
- Flush your browser's cache (e.g.,
ctrl-F5works in Google Chrome). - Log out of NetSuite and then log back in, as this also usually clears the cache.
