CMS Records for Site Management Tools

When you add content to your website with Site Management Tools (SMT) and publish it, the content and display information is saved as NetSuite records. These records include the following:

The custom record contains the content that you added to the site. For example, if you add a banner image to your site, there's a custom CMS_IMAGE record with the image source, alt text, and link. Each custom record also has a matching CMS Content record. The CMS Content record controls how and where that content appears on your site.

Note:

Only published content is available as NetSuite records. Unpublished content isn't available in NetSuite.

Example: Records Created when Adding Content

You add a banner image to the header area of your site. When you add the image, you specify the following information:

  • Visibility Options

  • Image File

  • Alternate Text

  • Link

The area where you add the image is set in the page template file, and the area’s attributes provide a couple of important pieces of information. These are the content’s scope, which can be global, current page, or page type. In this example, the area is in the page header and has global scope. The area also has a unique name. In this example, the name is global_banner_top.

When the you publish the content, a new CMS_IMAGE custom record is created. This record stores the image source, alt text, and link. A CMS Content record is also created. This CMS Content record links to the custom record using its ID. The CMS Content record includes the visibility dates and times, area scope, area name, and other information about the content. See Custom Record for CMS Content and CMS Contents Record.
