What do you do when you need to capture user input just before they submit a form or right after they click that “Approve” or “Reject” button? The answer is simple: Use the NetSuite Input Dialog!
- NetSuite’s
N/ui/dialogmodule does not include an input dialog although there are situations where capturing user input based on dynamic criteria is necessary. - Existing solutions compromise on user experience, are rigid, and/or are too tightly coupled with NetSuite’s internal dependencies which may change without notice.
- The NetSuite Input Dialog illustrated above is built on NetSuite’s dialog module, thereby providing a native, elegant, and easy-to-integrate answer to the input dialog problem.
- This module could be yours right now, at no cost, for use in your non-commercial and commercial projects; grab it here!
