Explain the process of creating a custom button, which, when clicked, refreshes the page

****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** To create a custom button in NetSuite that refreshes the page when clicked, you can follow these steps: 1. Add the button to your Suitelet form. You can do this using the

addButton

method on the form object. Here's an example:

javascript
form.addButton({
  id: 'refresh_page',
  label: 'Refresh',
  functionName: 'refresh'
});

In this example, 'refresh_page' is the ID of the button, 'Refresh' is the label that will be displayed on the button, and 'refresh' is the name of the function that will be called when the button is clicked. 2. Define the

refresh

function in your client script. This function will handle the click event of the button and refresh the page. Here's an example:

javascript
function refresh() {
  console.log('refresh');
  var baseUrl = new URL(window.location.href);
  var refreshUrl = baseUrl.toString();
  window.onbeforeunload = null;
  window.location.replace(refreshUrl);
}

In this example, the

refresh

function logs 'refresh' to the console, gets the current URL of the page, converts it to a string, disables the browser's unload event (which can prevent the page from being refreshed), and then replaces the current page with the refresh URL. Remember to link your client script to the Suitelet so that the

refresh

function can be called when the button is clicked. Please note that this is a basic example and you may need to adjust the code to fit your specific needs.
