Building a Dashboard Portlet

SuiteScript dashboard portlet customizes NetSuite dashboards.

Understanding SuiteScript Dashboard Portlets

SuiteScript dashboard portlets are powerful tools that allow developers to customize and enhance NetSuite dashboards. These portlets provide users with a dynamic and interactive experience, enabling them to see custom data and analytics at a glance.

Creating a Simple Dashboard Portlet

To get started with creating a dashboard portlet, you need to create a SuiteScript file that defines the portlet's behavior and appearance. This involves using the portlet object provided by NetSuite's SuiteScript API.

Deploying the Portlet Script

Once your script is written, you need to deploy it in NetSuite. This involves uploading the script file to the File Cabinet and creating a script record. Follow these steps:

  • Upload the SuiteScript file to a suitable folder in the File Cabinet.
  • Create a new script record in NetSuite, selecting 'Portlet' as the script type.
  • Associate the uploaded file with the script record.
  • Deploy the script to the desired roles and users.

Testing Your Dashboard Portlet

After deploying the script, it's crucial to test it to ensure it displays correctly on the dashboard. Navigate to your dashboard and add the custom portlet. Verify that the title and content appear as expected.

Advanced Customization Options

SuiteScript dashboard portlets can be further customized with additional features like user preferences, dynamic data fetching, and integration with other NetSuite services. Consider exploring these advanced options to enhance the functionality of your portlets.
