NSC | How to Create a Hidden Tracking Field for Internal Use

Sometimes you need to store information in NetSuite for internal tracking without showing it to end users on forms. A hidden custom field can help you track status, flags, references, or internal process data behind the scenes.

This article explains how to create a hidden tracking field for internal use and when it can be helpful.

What is a Hidden Tracking Field?

A hidden tracking field is a custom field added to a record that stores internal information but is not displayed to users on the form.

This can be useful for internal workflows, reporting, approvals, integrations, or administrative tracking where the value needs to exist in the record without being visible during normal data entry.
