New to NetSuite | Creating a Simple Custom List for Dropdown Values
Custom lists let users select from predefined dropdown values instead of typing free-form text. This helps keep data consistent and easier to report on.
What Is a Custom List?
A custom list is a set of values that can be used in a dropdown field.
Examples:
- Low, Medium, High
- Pending, Approved, Rejected
- New Request, Change Request, Cancellation
Why Use It?
Custom lists can help:
- reduce typing errors
- standardize data entry
- improve reporting
- make forms easier to complete
Steps
Step 1: Create the Custom List
NetSuite: Navigate to Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Lists > New
