How to Relocate a Child List to a Different Subtab on a Parent Record in NetSuite
Learn how to customize the display location of child record lists on parent records by adjusting a specific custom field setting.
Short answer
To relocate a child list from its default "Custom" subtab on a parent record, access the custom field where "Record is Parent" is enabled. In the Display tab, find the "Parent Subtab" drop-down. Use this setting to choose the desired subtab for the child list's display on the parent record.
Scenario
NetSuite users often encounter situations where child record lists, by default, appear under the "Custom" subtab on their respective parent records. This default placement may not align with organizational preferences or optimal user experience, necessitating a relocation of these lists to a more appropriate subtab.
Solution
To change the display location of a child list on a parent record from its default "Custom" subtab, follow these steps:
Navigate to the specific custom field that defines the relationship where "Record is Parent" is checked.
Access the "Display" tab within the custom field's configuration.
Locate the "Parent Subtab" drop-down menu.
Select the desired subtab from the available options to specify where the child list will appear on the parent record.
