Anybody there?

Yes, there are lots of people here, but sometimes you need to have a bit of patience. What kind of "custom page" are you referring to?
s
Yes of course @Watz. Thanks for your reply. Actually I thought might be I am in different timezone and no one is available right now.
I need to create an UI for customer information and to contact that customer as well
I am not sure how I can achieve this. New to netSuite SuiteBuilder and SuiteCloud
w
So is this something that your employees are going to access in Netsuite? What is missing on the Customer-form?
s
I can share the wireframe.
Yes employees will access it.
w
If your employees have access to Netsuite, they can either access the customer through the standard interface or you probably need to develop a Suitelet-script that does what you need.
s
Let me share wireframe. I am very much confused.
I dont know from where to start
@Watz did you get chance to look at the image
w
Yes, but there are too many questions for me to help you.
In what kind of process is this going to fit in?
How are they going to reach this?
How will they know that they need to reach it?
Is this something that needs to be stored?
s
Yes needs to be stored
You can think it as an Opportunity form
w
Ok, can you not create it as an opportunity then?
s
I need to create this UI
can I customize the look and feel
w
ok, the easiest way is to create a custom form for opportunity then. But no, you cannot customize it completely. only the location of the fields and the grouping.
s
how to have that popup and other elements
w
If you need to make it look exactly like this then you need to develop your own suietlet
s
Ok, what excatly is that?
How to start and which editor do I need?
Basically I am PHP developer
w
It's a type of script that is developed in Javascript.
s
Ok.
w
Look in the help of Netsuite on Suitelet.
s
I can write javascript
Do I need SuiteCloud or SuiteScript?
w
SuiteScript is basically Javascript with Netsuites own functions/modules.
s
so I need to write code externally and then upload on netSuite?
w
Yes
s
And I can use any coding editor or need specific one?
I am asking, because, I tried to download IDE but it didnt get installed on my laptop
w
Netsuite has plugins for Eclipse and Webstorm to have a better workflow, but those aren't required.
s
ok
thanks
p
You might struggle if you know nothing about NetSuite etc. The learning curve isn't great.
s
Oh...
what is the easiest way?
k
Pay a partner to help you
There are also contractors that can help - but they generally have less resources available.
s
I can write code just need a right start
I dont know how to write code for netSuite
m
Hi Simar, Have a look here: https://netsuite.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/43520 it shows details and examples for all possible script types. 'Suitelets' seem to have the most in common for your questions. it allows you to implement custom front and backends
k
Bah, there's a guy who has a book on NS coding that is generally more helpful, but I am struggling to remember his name
b
your first step will probably be Setting Up Your SuiteScript Environment followed by the SuiteScript 2.0 API Introduction (especially the SuiteScript 2.0 Hello World)
s
Can I achieve without Suitelet?
without Suitescript?
b
You should probably look <https:/system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=chapter_1518456405.html|SuiteScript 2.0 Custom Pages>
But keep in mind that netsuite custom pages are designed to create pages that look and behave like netsuite
s
@battk I have shared wireframe/image that I want to create
Its basically customized Opportunity form/page
Can you please check once
My client wants it to be ready by tomorrow
😱 1
b
a quick look at your wireframe suggests that it does not look like netsuite, so unless your requirements are very flexible, you will probably end up Using HTML
s
Where should I write and embed Code?
I will really appreciate help from you all
b
upfront, i dont think you can do this in a day
s
Alright. How much time it may take
How much I can do by tomorrow?
w
several weeks probably... or months for me..:)
m
It is all explained if you search the documentation. if you do not want to create a full custom Suitelet than you can add custom UI components using inline HTML like battk mentiones. The inline HTML can also run client-side javascript if needed but it recommended to use the SuiteScriptTypes available to you from Netsuite to do the customization. These are less likely to break when updates arrive. SuiteScript is simply uploaded as a .js file.
s
Please suggest what should I tell my client genuinely?
I need to tell him clear picture
b
my personal recommendation is to start going through those links i first gave
p
Tell your client you have no experience doing NetSuite development and it's going to take you a few weeks to even begin
👍 1
s
Yes. Thanks gyus.
p
There is no other sane course of action
Also, please be mindful that people in here are helpful but are not going to write this for you
s
Yes I understand @PNJ.
b
unless you have experience using a frontend framework, i would estimate a timeline over a month with maybe somewhere in the middle where you have something that looks usable
s
I have web development experience in PHP and angular. But very new to netSuite.
b
i personally would ignore all estimates about timelines until you have a clear idea about the steps you would need to complete to get things running
s
@battk yes I understand and agree with you.
