How to Add Multiple List Portlets to a NetSuite Dashboard Tab
NetSuite users can overcome the limitation of a single List portlet on standard dashboards by leveraging custom center tabs to display multiple lists.
Short answer
To add multiple List portlets to a NetSuite dashboard, create a Custom Center Tab. Unlike standard dashboards which restrict users to one List portlet, custom center tabs allow for the inclusion of many List-type portlets, providing enhanced data visibility and organization within the NetSuite interface.
Scenario
NetSuite users often encounter a limitation when attempting to add multiple List portlets to their standard dashboards. Standard dashboard configurations typically restrict the addition of only one portlet of the 'List' type, which can hinder the ability to display various critical data lists simultaneously.
Solution
To overcome the limitation of adding only one List portlet to a standard NetSuite dashboard, users can utilize a Custom Center Tab. When a Custom Center Tab is created, it provides the functionality to add many Portlets of type List, whereas normal Dashboards are restricted to adding only one.
