Field visibility in NetSuite is a crucial aspect of customizing forms to enhance user experience and streamline data entry. Each custom field can be configured with different display types, including “Normal,” “Hidden,” and “Display.” These settings determine whether users can see or interact with the field on a record, allowing administrators to control the flow of information effectively.
To change a field’s visibility, navigate to Customization > Lists, Records, Fields > Field Types. Locate the desired custom field and click “Edit.” In the “Display Type” dropdown menu, you can select options like “Normal” for visible fields or “Hidden” to restrict access. If you want a field to be conditionally visible, consider using the “Display” option and managing its visibility through client scripts or workflows.
Properly configuring field visibility enhances user experience, reduces errors, and improves compliance by ensuring that sensitive data is only visible to authorized personnel. By understanding and effectively managing field visibility, you can create a more efficient data entry process within NetSuite.
