Proposal Summary
This proposal covers the development to make the URL for liquid pixels check-proof clickable in the Sales order record.
Currently, the URL for Liquid Pixels check-proof is added to a custom field named “IMAGE PDF URL” in the Sales Order record. The new requirement is to enable users to click on the URL directly from the field.
We have checked whether it is possible to set Liquid Pixels Check Proof URL as a clickable link. We are saving the URL with a help of a script to a Text area field. For making the link as a clickable one, we need to set the Field type as a “Hyperlink”. When we change the field type to “Hyperlink”, we can make the URL clickable. However, there is a limit on the number of characters that can be stored in a “Hyperlink” type field in NetSuite. As a result, some parts of the URL may get automatically trimmed when we save it to the field. As a result of this limitation, it may not be possible to access the image correctly.
Alternate Solution
An alternate solution for this is to add a new custom field next to the “IMAGE PDF URL” and set it as a clickable link. We can go to the corresponding link by clicking on the View PDF Button. A sample screenshot is added below.
- Development will be initially done in the sandbox and then will be pushed to production, once verified in the sandbox.
- We will add a new custom field next to the “IMAGE PDF URL” and will be named as “View PDF”.
- If there is no value present in the “IMAGE PDF URL” field, then the “View PDF” field will not display any clickable link
- The “IMAGE PDF URL” field cannot be modified since the new button is being created using the URL that is currently stored in that field.
- We have estimated the effort for adding a new field to the Sales order record and make that a clickable one.
- Any additional changes to the UI or functionality will be considered extra.
