03/20/2025, 4:54 PMIf anyone wants a great way to highlight a status or field in a near-native way on a transaction, or any other record really.. Let me know! I just put a cool solution in place that i've done before. Looks like it was made by NetSuite, but helps highlight key information.

03/20/2025, 4:58 PMOh hey there's an article lmao

03/20/2025, 4:59 PM@Tim Chapman @Ryan Longenecker My method was not this complex, looks like this used a script?
Jeff Jacobs
03/20/2025, 5:00 PMI used a simple Inline HTML field with some CSS primarily

03/20/2025, 5:01 PMThat's cool! I use those HTML fields for custom buttons on our VRMA's. Doesn't necessarily relate to your post but it'll open up to the tracking page on UPS/Fedex website with the correct tracking # entered.

03/20/2025, 5:01 PMYeah I was with a previous company that used Inline HTML fields way too overkill but allowed me to get familiar with different approaches lol.

03/20/2025, 5:02 PMHere's the meat of this solution:
Jeff Jacobs
03/20/2025, 5:03 PMJust has to be at the top of the third column of a record for ideal positioning

Tim Chapman
03/20/2025, 5:03 PMThat's cool @Jeff Jacobs. I haven't done that, I just source my field from a saved search that has some Formula(HTML) stuff
j
Jeff Jacobs
03/20/2025, 5:04 PMThat's a unique approach also, so you get your button links from the saved search?

03/20/2025, 5:10 PM Copy code
CASE WHEN SUBSTR({custbody13}, 1, 1) = '9' THEN NULL WHEN SUBSTR({custbody13}, 1, 2) = '1Z' THEN '<a href="<https://wwwapps.ups.com/tracking/tracking.cgi?tracknum=>' || {custbody13} || '" target="_blank" style="background-color: #654321; color: #FFD700; padding: 10px 20px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; margin: 4px 2px; cursor: pointer; box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);">UPS Tracking</a>' WHEN SUBSTR({custbody13}, 1, 1) = '2' OR SUBSTR({custbody13}, 1, 1) = '7' OR SUBSTR({custbody13}, 1, 1) = '4' THEN '<a href="<https://www.fedex.com/fedextrack/summary?trknbr=>' || {custbody13} || '" target="_blank" style="background-color: #4B0082; color: white; padding: 10px 20px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; margin: 4px 2px; cursor: pointer; box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);">FedEx Tracking</a>' ELSE NULL END🙌 1

03/20/2025, 5:10 PMCustbody13 was the return to vendor tracking # entered on the VRMA

03/20/2025, 5:11 PMAhh I got you that makes sense, yeah I love doing things like this within NetSuite.
Jeff Jacobs
03/20/2025, 5:12 PMKinda relates to something I'm building now but I got the stakeholders to accept just the raw tracking number lol. Due to the URLs for tracking services potentially changing and all that.

03/20/2025, 5:13 PMI’m trying to think of how to use these ideas and n/llm together
j
Jeff Jacobs
03/20/2025, 5:13 PMI don't have access to that just yet haha, I mean, you could source info from llm and have that stored in a field that is referenced with surrounding HTML and CSS

03/20/2025, 5:16 PM@Ryan Longenecker If you ever need some help brainstorming or collaborating feel free to reach out. Like I said this is some of my favorite stuff to build.

03/20/2025, 5:17 PMSounds good. I will. I’m trying to build more everyday use cases for the ai module and this might be good to add into the mix
