NetSuite includes many preferences that users can set to configure the system for optimum performance. Users can review available preference options at Home > Set Preferences. Users can adjust the following preferences to speed up page loading:
- On the Appearance subtab, in the Centers & Dashboards section, set the Landing Page preference to open NetSuite to a page other than the Home page. This preference can be set to open NetSuite on the page that a user visits most frequently.
- On the General subtab, in the Optimizing NetSuite section:
- Check the Delay Loading of Sublists box to initially load NetSuite pages without data on subtabs.When this box is checked, the data on each subtab is loaded only when the subtab is clicked, which shortens the initial page loading time.
- Set the Number of Rows in List Segments field to a lower number to speed the loading of pages containing long lists.A segment size of 50 is a balanced option. When a page includes a long list of records, the list is divided into segments, with one segment loaded at a time. Lowering this preference decreases the size of each segment.
- Set the Maximum Entries in Dropdowns field to a lower number to speed the loading of pages containing dropdown lists with lots of options.You should use a setting of 50 or less, unless larger menus are required. Any list with more results appears in a popup instead of a dropdown list. Using popups speeds page load time.
- With dropdown lists, all values in a list are loaded when a user accesses a page.
- With popup list fields, the lists are not loaded until a user searches for an item or clicks the list icon. Users can quickly search and automatically complete fields by entering the first few letters of the item and pressing the Tab key.
