Unfortunately, custom record reports did not make it into the feature list for the Q2007 release. Malin, Do you know when custom record reports might be released?

What about backup via ODBC? Wouldn't this be easier?

archival is a must so that we dont go pass the 10gig file space limit with data thats of no use currently. Or - raise the limit significantly. This is a no-brainer: raise the limit! :D In today's world 10GB is personal storage (like on a memory stick). You can hardly buy a computer today under 100GB. Purchased in volume,…

ISSUE: Custom Transaction Column Field of type List/Record applied to 'Item Receipt' does not provide 'New' option as it does on other transaction forms Case: 783174 Issue: 153753 This is so basic that I still can't believe it. I'm getting so tired of reporting the same flaws in design approach. It really seems like all of…

ISSUE: Inconsistent Allocation of Inventory for Kits vs Other Items [LIST] [*]Example: Defining Kits - limitations[/LIST]

Customizing Forms -- Some you can, some you can't. WHY? This is actually a huge area of inconsistency. Once you have developed the internal code to allow form customization, why can't it easily be applied to all forms? REF: Record Customer Deposits I was surprised you cannot customize this form. If you have say lots of…

Evan, I don't disagree that it is a challenge. However, I'd submit the following for your consideration: [LIST=1] [*]There is a lot of low-hanging fruit in NetSuite that would be easy to change while substantially improving the user experience. [*]Many years ago now, Apple Macintosh broke into the computer world with a…

Inconsistencies continue to plague NetSuite. I will continue to update this thread with actual examples until this issue has been addressed in a serious, comprehensive manner. ISSUE: Custom Formula Fields are treated in an inconsistent and counter-intuitive manner [LIST] [*]Examples:[LIST] [*]Trouble Using Custom Body…

Several of the features coming in 2009.2 have gone through months of user experience research and design. We believe it has had a significant impact on improving the user experience of new capabilities. Thanks, -e Evan, I hope you meant "2008.2", not "2009.2" ? Can you provide any examples of improvements since Oct 2007?

Even after 1 1/2 years this basic issue STILL has NOT been addressed. The problem and inconsistent email handling between Transactions and Reports that was originally reported in this thread on 8/31/2006 has still not be fixed. This thread has 42 replies and 1,164 visits. There is virtually universal support from the User…

Thanks for the thoughts. They are not falling on deaf ears internally at NetSuite. We have a new group with several experienced designers entirely dedicated to User Experience improvements. You should be seeing the fruits of their labors over the coming versions. Evan, This sounds great! Thanks for listening. Here's a…

So, do you have any plans to fix the OLD OLD problems, like email?

Another Appeal for Consistency REF: PDF form customization limitation? I agree that NetSuite would benefit from a top-to-bottom review of their user interface, focusing on intuitiveness and consistency throughout the application. I've been squawking about this for a couple of years, but so far NetSuite appears to be more…

Inconsistent Use of Main Tab Menus Sometimes the menu item is a CREATE/EDIT action, and sometimes it is a LIST action. IMO, the most intuitive and safest UI is to always present the primary menu items as a LIST action, with a submenu items for CREATE and EDIT Examples of Inconsistency [LIST=1] [*]Most of the Transactions…

What you seem to be asking for Jim, is that if a bunch of users say "I need this template customizable", that we should say "Well, we could get that for you in the next release in 2 months, but we can't make that template customizable until we make all templates in the product customizable, which will take us 2 years."…

So, is TWikis essentially the same as Wiki? Wikipedia is a great example of wiki.

Now if Netsuite really wanted to be brave, they would also open the help file TWikis up to be edited by official integration partners. This is a GREAT idea! But I would extend it to include the primary Administrator of all NetSuite accounts. The power of wikis is with the people. If you overconstrain it, it becomes stale…

Thanks for the thoughts. They are not falling on deaf ears internally at NetSuite. We have a new group with several experienced designers entirely dedicated to User Experience improvements. You should be seeing the fruits of their labors over the coming versions. However, it won't be all at once. Some things you may notice…

View History Popup Window is NOT Resizable REF: View History in full screen This is a fairly small thing, but is frustrating to the user, and makes it more difficult to quickly view the info of interest. ALL windows should be resizabe by the user, and the system should remember the last size the user set, unless there is a…

Why NetSuite Needs to Be More Consistent and Intuitive The below reference is a bit broader than "consistency", but it speaks to the same underlying issue: ease of use. REF: PDF form customization limitation?[INDENT][COLOR=black]Sorry for the rant but I come from a Apple/Mac OS X world and am used to picking up brand new…

a change in the menu system would mean that all of our training material would need to be changed and all staff retrained. While I do agree that there's room for improvement in the UI (like not having two different things called Layouts under setup>web site) it's just not worth totally revamping for us. If NetSuite were to…

Well, it looks like NetSuite has comletely ignored this thread and is still designing the UI the same old way: inconsistent. See this thread:[INDENT]Email Message Recipient List Now Includes Employees [/INDENT]NetSuite made a change to the EMAIL for Transactions, but because the UI is different from how it is on Reports,…

ISSUE: Unable to Produce Report or Search on All Fields EXAMPLES: [LIST=1] [*]You can create Budgets for Customers, Items, and Departments, but you can't produce a report that lists the Actual vs. Budget by each of these (e.g., list of Customers with Actual and Budget amounts) [*]Customer Price Sheets [*]Shipping…

Most of our customers use the classic centers. It seems quicker to get around rather than have to hunt for things. I prefer the classic center too. Not sure I understand your point Ray. There wasn't any debate about preferred centers. :confused:

OK, I don't seem to be making much headway in convincing NetSuite to correct current inconsistencies, and to NOT introduce new ones with new releases. So, I will start posting here specific examples of inconsistent UI and/or behavior. Perhaps as the evident mounts someone at NetSuite will realize how big a problem this…

longIam, Thanks for the reply. I want to return the same fields you're able to easily do using a custom search on Transactions where Type = "Invoice" and Mainline = True. I need to return the following columns for each invoice: Inv# Inv Date Customer Ship Date Days Overdue Inv Total Amount Paid Amount Remaining I know I…

The non-classic centers were made consistent some time ago, transaction menu items are for list and then there is a new menu option that hangs off of it. We left the classic center the same because we realized many, many users would be upset if we changed it. Thanks, -e Really? That surprises me. I wonder what the…
