Why do image files in the file cabinet have 3 different URLs, and what is each URL used for?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, image files in the file cabinet have three different URLs for different purposes: 1. Internal URL: This URL is used within the NetSuite environment. It is typically used for referencing files within scripts, workflows, or other internal processes. The structure of this URL is usually like

https://{account_id}.<http://app.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id={file_id}&c={account_id}&h={hash}|app.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id={file_id}&c={account_id}&h={hash}>

. 2. External URL: This URL is used for accessing the file outside of the NetSuite environment. It is typically used for sharing files with external systems or users. The file must be marked as "Available Without Login" to be accessible via this URL. The structure of this URL is usually like

<https://system.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id={file_id}&c={account_id}&h={hash}>

. 3. Shopping URL: This URL is used for referencing files within the NetSuite Site Builder or SuiteCommerce Advanced web store. The structure of this URL is usually like

<http://shopping.na0.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id={file_id}&c={account_id}&h={hash}>

. Please note that the

{account_id}

is your NetSuite account ID,

{file_id}

is the internal ID of the file in the file cabinet, and

{hash}

is a unique hash generated by NetSuite for the file. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
