Cloning File Layouts

The LATAM File Builder SuiteApp enables you to clone file layout records. You can clone file layouts if you want to create a record of the same type with similar settings.

The standard option to make a copy only copies the parent record, while the clone enables you to replicate the child records as well. When cloning file layouts, you can create copies of the following types of record:

For section sources, you can decide whether you want to:

To clone a file layout:

  1. Go to Setup > Latam File Builder > File Layout Cloning.

  2. In the File Layout field, select the file layout you want to clone.

  3. Click Search.

    NetSuite lists the layout sections associated with the selected file layout.

  4. Under File Layout Cloning Information, in the Name of the File Layout Clone field, enter a name for the clone of the file layout.

    Choose a name that differentiates the clone from the original file layout.

  5. (Optional) To display the section sources under a layout section, click the arrow icon Blue arrow pointing left next to the layout section.

  6. Check the boxes next to the layout sections or section sources you want to clone.

    When you check the box next to a parent record, the system automatically selects all its child records for cloning.

    Tip:

    To select all the layout sections and section sources listed on a page, check the box on the table header.

  7. (Optional) To keep a layout section or section source from being cloned, clear the box next to the record.

    Be aware that you cannot clone a record without its parents.

  8. For the selected layout sections, in the Layout Section Clone column, enter a name for the clone.

    Choose a name that differentiates the clone from the original layout section.

  9. If you want to create the selected section sources as clones, do the following:

    1. Clear the box in the Related Section Source column.

      By default, NetSuite checks the related section source box for all the listed section sources. This creates related section source records. If you want to use the section source exactly as it is used on the original file layout, prefer creating related section sources. For more information about related section sources, see Adding Related Section Sources.

    2. In the Section Source Clone column, enter a name for the clone.

      Choose a name that differentiates the clone from the original section source.

  10. If you want the layout section or section source to be in a different order in the building sequence, in the Sequence Number column, clear the field and enter a different number.

  11. Click Create Clone.

    The file layout clone request page opens. You can check the progress of the cloning process on this page.

  12. Refresh the page to update the Status field.

    Continue refreshing the page until the status is one of the following:

    • Completed

    • Failed

  13. If the status is Completed, to view the cloned records, in the File Layout Clone field, click the name of the file layout clone.

  14. If the status is Failed, view the execution logs of the LFB MR Copy File Layout script (Script ID: ).

    For more information, see Viewing a List of Script Execution Logs.
