If we are in the middle of a fresh implementation, is it best to request the templates get setup initially using the advanced templates versus basic templates?
That's right. We encourage our users to use Advanced PDF/HTML Template so that if you decide to update the layout in the future you have more customization available rather than using Basic Printing. As mentioned from the webinar, there are no more upgrades for the Basic Printing.
I had trouble adding the record owner field to this form, is that field not able to be added to the template?
All fields on the form should be available for your template. If you are trying to print a custom record type, you can try to add the fields using the source code. If you use ${record.fieldid} it should be able to pull the field.
Is there a name for the code language used here for this? It seems like far more than HTML, a mix of HTML/JS, trying to locate more resources/documentation on this
Yes, we call it freemarker code
Is it possible to modify / supply your own data model to the preview option when using the source code editor?
Currently It only uses the defaults/sample text from the Transaction Form.
Can you use css classes?
Yes, you can use css class in NetSuite Advanced Templates
The PDF shows a discount, but does the sales order? Every time this form is used would be for a discount order only?
Yes for this sample, the discount is hard coded to the template. So it will be used for Sales Order with automatic discount.
Is there a way to add a total field to the Quantity column so that the order would show the total number of units ordered?
"Enhancement # - 177768: Would like to add a line item to calculate the total amount for all columns that has a price/amount. The only available subtotal for the dropdown list is the amount of an items
Summary: Add subtotal in the line items
Alternate Solution: Create a custom Transaction Body Field to show the amount field's subtotal."
How can you add a new field to the item table?
he Item table is usually located on the table under and you will have to follow the syntax using for the field labels and for the table data
I do not have a field reference when I click in the data. How can I turn that on?
Is this when double-clicking a custom field? If yes, you can navigate to Home > Set Preferences > Defaults section and tick on Show Internal IDs
Are there any recommended literature or resources on Advanced PDF/HTML templates for saved searches?
Here are some examples: 86498 and 1013232
When will NetSuite end support for basic templates?
As of the moment there is no specific timeframe of when the support for basic template will end.
Why do the custom font files need to be marked ""Make Available Without Login""?
If you use IP restrictions, will that prevent people outside of that range from accessing files marked ""Available Without Login?""
Quantity spelt incorrectly.. would that have an impact?
It depends on your variable, if it is not the same with your variable it may cause problems
Can we pull transaction fields to shipping label -advanced pdf template?
Unfortunately, the ability to add transaction fields to Shipping Label templates is currently a system limitation. This is being addressed under Enhancement 351195: Advanced PDF/HTML Templates > Custom Shipping Label PDF/HTML Template > Ability to use of related records or custom field
What are the units on the image size?
We use pixels (px).
Where do we have the WYSIWYG under customization?
WYSIWYG can be found in Customizations > Forms > Advanced PDF/HTML Templates.
It looks like the alignment under quantity column didn't justify right when selected, but instead was centered, which was the original setting. I've experienced this using the templates.
You can try to correct the alignment using the source code by adding the alignment style attribute to the code. You can check this related article: 70371
What if we need fields from other records to show up?
If they are related records, you can either call the object (for example Sales Order and Item Fulfillment) or source the field value using a custom field first then use the custom field on the advanced template.
Is there a way to specify the size a logo uses on forms?
please see this article: 106691
Can Fields access any field that falls under Lists > Relationships (for example)?
Basically, there is a List called Leads and a Lead has some custom fields and I want to know whether the Advanced PDF/HTML templates can access those custom fields
Can we edit the fake record that is used when we preview a template? For example wanting to use a long company name to test truncation code
It could be possible to manipulate the data by hard-coding values in the template editor.
How to make sure the item table doesn’t overflow to the footer?
You can try adding page breaks to the table: 66474
If I have transaction Advanced PDF, edited in source code. But prefer a WYSIWYG, I get a warning about switching from source code to WYSIWYG modes, what typically does not work from source code when switching
As WYSIWYG has a few limitations vs. Source Code editing, some template content may not be represented correctly, may not be accessible for editing, or may not be displayed at all in WYSIWYG mode. With this, we suggest to stick to one (either WYSIWYG or Source code). If ever issues occur, please do not save the template in WYSIWYG mode, and switch back to source code mode.
