custom field displayed as a button

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, you can create a custom field that is displayed as a button using SuiteScript. This is often done to perform a specific action when the button is clicked, such as generating a custom PDF or performing a saved search. Here's a general outline of how this can be done: 1. Create a User Event (UE) script that adds the button during the beforeLoad event. This script will be triggered when the record is loaded in the UI. 2. The client-side script handles the button click event. This script can call a Suitelet or perform other client-side actions. 3. The Suitelet does the heavy lifting on the server side. This could involve generating a PDF, performing a saved search, or other server-side actions. For example, if you want to add a print button to a sales order, you can do this in the custom form settings without a workflow. Just edit your sales order form, click on the Actions submenu, scroll down to Print, and switch the "Display As" setting (on the right side) from Menu to Button. If you want to print a custom item label (advanced PDF template tied to a saved search), you can create a Suitelet that performs the search and renders the PDF to the response. Then, make the button make a request to the Suitelet. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
