Home » Download Button
In the standard NetSuite process, users download a view of their record by clicking the Print button, which generates a PDF that can be saved locally. While the record itself may follow customized numbering formats — such as five-digit order IDs starting from a specific number — the downloaded PDF still defaults to NetSuite’s standard ID format. This disconnect creates confusion, reduces consistency, and limits the usefulness of custom numbering rules. Smartes’ Download Button solution eliminates this problem by aligning downloads with your business rules. With a single click, records are exported using your user-defined naming conventions, ensuring the file name matches the format you’ve set in NetSuite. The result is a faster, more personalized, and more efficient experience that keeps your files organized and immediately recognizable.
This feature not only bypasses the convoluted standard process but also ensures that the downloaded file respects the naming preferences set by the user. Go to the script deployment and enter something similar into the Parameters > Name Override: type, tranid, entity, otherrefnum, custbody_tranname This can be inputted in any order to receive the desired naming convention. One of its key features is advanced conditional filtering, which dynamically highlights rows in your search results based on your defined criteria or statuses—significantly enhancing data clarity and usability. In addition, Search View includes a list-based drag-and-drop file attachment feature, making it simple to add supporting documents directly from the search results. Instead of opening each record individually, users can drop files right into the results grid, streamlining document management and saving valuable time.
The Download Button solution replaces NetSuite’s default print-to-PDF process with a smarter, more user-friendly approach. Instead of forcing users to accept generic file names, it allows for fully customized naming conventions that align with business rules. Files can be named dynamically based on fields like transaction ID, customer reference, or record type, ensuring consistency across all exports. This automation not only eliminates the need for manual renaming but also improves accuracy and compliance in record-keeping. Seamlessly integrated into NetSuite, the Download Button streamlines workflows, reduces errors, and makes managing large volumes of records far more efficient.

Currently, the Download Button feature primarily supports PDF format for records. This aligns with NetSuite’s standard output, providing a consistent document format across downloads. 1. Navigate to the Search View page displaying the list of records. 2. Locate the record where you want to upload a file. You'll see a designated "Drag a file here" box next to each record. 3. Drag the file from your computer and drop it into the box next to the appropriate record. 4. The system will immediately show whether the upload was successful or if there was an error. If a file upload fails, check the file format, size, or permissions and try again. This feature is especially useful for bulk uploading files, such as receipts, invoices, or customer documents, saving time and improving productivity.
