NSC | Creating Links to NetSuite Pages with a specified Subtab selected by default

edited Apr 25, 2023 8:56PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

Any page in NetSuite can have a Subtab selected by default upon loading.

Just append the following to the URL of the page:

&selectedtab=[SubtabID]

where [SubtabID] is the ID of the subtab to be selected by default.

The Subtab ID can be obtained in the Browser Developer Tools by right-clicking on the subtab, then selecting Inspect.

Next, look for the first parameter of the ShowTab function. See the sample screenshot below:

So, to have the Validation and Defaulting subtab selected by default, append &selectedtab=VALIDATION to the URL of the Transaction Body Fields page.
