Confirm Action

Use the Confirm action to display a popup message with OK and Cancel buttons. A user can acknowledge the message and continue working or cancel the previous activity.

The Confirm action supports the Before Field Edit and Before User Submit client triggers. The behavior of the Confirm action buttons depends on which trigger is used:

Client Trigger	Button Behavior
Before Field Edit	OK. The field value remains set. Cancel. The field value reverts to the previous value.
Before User Submit	OK. NetSuite saves the record. Cancel. NetSuite does not save the record. The user can continue editing the record.

Note:

Workflow definitions require a trigger configuration that initiates the workflow, executes an action within a workflow or transitions the workflow from one state to another.

For more information about which workflow triggers the Confirm action supports, see Workflow Triggers Quick Reference.
To understand when different workflow triggers execute and which trigger you should use, see Workflow Triggers and the SuiteFlow Trigger Execution Model.
