Displaying Subsidiaries Without Hierarchy in Client Script

Concept of setting subsidiaries of a customer without hierarchy using the namenohierarchy filter in a client script field change script:

1. Client Script Field Change Script: This refers to a script that is executed on the client side (typically in a web browser) when a specific field is changed in a record. In this context, you’re likely working with a script in a system like NetSuite or a similar enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.
2. Subsidiaries of a Customer: In the context of your script, “customer” typically represents a business entity, and “subsidiaries” are various divisions, branches, or entities associated with this parent customer. These subsidiaries may have their own names and relationships.
3. Hierarchy: In the context of subsidiaries, hierarchy refers to the structured organization of these subsidiaries under a parent company. It’s a way of visually representing how different subsidiaries are related to one another, often in a tree-like structure where you have parent-child relationships.
4. namenohierarchy Filter: This filter is a feature that’s often available in ERP systems like NetSuite. When you apply the namenohierarchy filter, it means that you want to retrieve or display data without showing the hierarchical relationship. In this case, you’re applying it to the subsidiaries’ names.

So, let’s say you have a customer with subsidiaries, and these subsidiaries are typically displayed with their hierarchical names, such as “Parent Company – Subsidiary A,” “Parent Company – Subsidiary B,” and so on.

If you apply the namenohierarchy filter in your client script field change script, you’re telling the system to display the subsidiaries without the hierarchical part. For example, “Parent Company – Subsidiary A” might be displayed as just “Subsidiary A.”

This can be useful in scenarios where you want to simplify the user interface or reporting to focus on the subsidiary’s individual names without the added complexity of displaying their hierarchy within the parent company.

In summary, using the namenohierarchy filter in your client script field change script allows you to show the subsidiaries of a customer without the hierarchical naming convention, providing a more streamlined and user-friendly view of the data.
