Customizations Supported by SuiteCloud Development Framework

SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) provides you with a way to customize NetSuite using SuiteCloud project components instead of using the NetSuite interface. These components can consist of files, scripts, and SDF custom objects such as custom records, custom forms, and workflows. Such components are sometimes referred to as customizations, SDF custom objects, and XML definitions. For more information, see SuiteCloud Development Framework.

Tip:

You can see the root XML tag and script ID prefix for each SDF custom object in SDF Custom Object File Structure.

The following customizations are supported as SDF custom objects:

Lists, Records, & Fields

Forms

Note:

You cannot create new address forms, entry forms and transaction forms using SDF. To work with those forms in SDF, you must first import them from a NetSuite account into a SuiteCloud project. See Account Component Imports to SuiteCloud Projects.

SuiteAnalytics Workbooks

  • Dataset, see Custom Dataset Objects and dataset

  • Workbook, see Workbooks as XML Definitions and workbook

    Important:

    Do not modify the contents of the definition structure or its character data. Modifications may damage the workbook data when you deploy the modified object to a target NetSuite account.

    You should use NetSuite to modify custom workbooks rather than using SDF to modify workbook objects. After you save your changes in NetSuite and re-import the workbook into your SuiteCloud project, the workbook object gets updated safely and automatically.
