Initial Setup: Preparing the Scripts
Begin by accessing Customization > Scripting > Scripts in NetSuite. Look for scripts with the prefix ‘EAG’, focusing on EAG Record Lock Suitelet, User Event, and Client Scripts. These scripts are crucial for activating record locking on desired records.
Deploying Scripts: Activation for Each Record
For each record type, deploy the User Event and Client scripts for every record you want the solution to apply to. This step is essential to ensure the record locking feature functions correctly across all desired records.
Suitelet Setup: Configuring Lock Duration
In the Suitelet, set up as illustrated in your documentation. Customize the Lock Duration, ranging from a minimum of 5 minutes to a maximum of 20 minutes. A timer will display the remaining lock duration to the user.
Continuous Lock Control
When a user begins to edit the record, it is locked for the entire duration the user is editing the record as continuous edits to a record will refresh the lock timer and prevent outside edits. However, if the user is inactive the lock timer will decrease from the amount of time set in the script. This feature maintains a balance between record accessibility and data security.
