I want to show a confirmation message after record has been saved using message module, what entry point should be used?

I've done the following before: 1. store the message in beforesubmit in a field on the record. 2. In beforeLoad use Form.addPageInitMessage(options) to display(and maybe clear) that message on next load (ie after the save is complete). Or just skip 1. and perhaps have some logic that knows when to display the message.

@Watz what kind of logic?

That depends on your use-case

And is this the only way?

is it something like the standard confirmation message that you want to replicate?

Yes

1. set a checkbox on beforesubmit "custbody_saved" 2. display a message on beforeload as I said earlier 3. record.submitFields to update the checkbox in beforeload. So that the message isn't shown every time you enter the record. I haven't tested the last part, might be some conflict in updating the record that you're loading. I don't know if it is possible to access what the previous action in the webbrowser was. Maybe that would be better. What would be easy to you?

Just somehow use message.show() in client script

yeah, you could do that as well. But as the record probably is in view-mode after you have saved it, you'd need to attach that script in beforeload or embed the code in a inlineHTML-field https://netsuite.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/83824/kw/n%2Fui%2Fserverwidget%2Fmessage

How do we know if before this view mode

I don't think you know that at all. You could perhaps draw some conclusions using the datecreated and lastmodified fields.

That check box and updating the value for that before load is a problem

this is probably a reasonable place to use the runtime.Session

@battk, is the sessionObject available both in beforesubmit/aftersubmit and beforeload?

yes

I remember some limitation to it. Was it that you couldn't access it in clientscripts?

yes

ok, but for @Ali, this would work well then.

Thanks all
