I need to create an online form for customers to take a survey. I've basically given up on native NetSuite online forms due a lack of debugging tools and I'm looking at setting up a RESTlet but I'm confused about the flow. Is there a native script type that can be available without login to create the web page for the survey that posts data to the RESTlet? Or would it need to be hosted outside of NetSuite?

Whats the deal w/ the forms? I've done this exact thing a few times in NetSuite. If its just data input, itll be really fast to do an online form within netsuite

I just get unexpected error and there's no debug logs. I tried looking at sources in the console dev tools but I'm unable to catch the error onclick with breakpoints.

you probably want a suitelet

wouldn't that require login? it's not out of the question, these are customers who would be taking the survey

You can make them available without login but if there's any list/record data, its wide open. Its only good if its just text you are entering or selecting non-netsuite data in dropdowns to submit back.. otherwise its a security issue for data

This would be a monthly saved search. All cases closed in the last month. The list of contacts for those cases would have duplicates removed to create a one to many contact to case relationship. Sends an email to each contact with the list of cases. The email would have a link to the suitelet? and would pass the contact id and list of case numbers to the suitelet as params and that would be included with their generic answers. I don't think login is necessary

if you have list/record of type contact and or cases, then the end user can see ALL of the contacts and cases

the general idea would be to populate the lists with your own options

Can't I send ids to the suitelet and look up case/contact data in the restlet? That's safe, right?

i don't really understand that question

saved search->email(1contact id, many case ids)->link in email->suitelet(id params)->restlet.

if you choose an existing record or list, all the options are available, there is no filtering

there wouldn't be any select options, only survey questions

then online form is what you want for this 100%

blargh. i'll just start over

my point of confusion is why you want a restlet, there should be no need for a restlet

i think the restlet was the alternative approach

its not a real alternative for a public form. restlets require authentication

yeah not sure honestly

security was my follow up question. i wanted to understand the flow of using a restlet first
