Disabling Site Builder in Your NetSuite Account

To disable Site Builder in your NetSuite account, follow these straightforward steps. Disabling Site Builder is essential if you decide you no longer want its capabilities included in your environment.

Steps to Disable Site Builder

1. Inactivate All Site Builder Websites: Before disabling Site Builder, ensure that all websites created using Site Builder are inactive. To learn how to do this, refer to the section on Making a Website Inactive.

2. Access the Enable Features Page: Navigate to Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features.

3. Disable Site Builder Features: On the Enable Features page, proceed to the Web Presence tab. Uncheck the following options:

   • Web Site field group:
     • Site Builder (Website)
     • Site Builder (Web Store)
   • Publishing field group:
     • External Catalog Site (WSDK)

4. Save Changes: Click Save to confirm your updates.

Important Considerations

• After disabling Site Builder, it’s crucial to remember that any previously associated websites will become inactive, affecting accessibility and search index functionalities.
• Making a website inactive removes it from active dropdown lists but retains records for reporting.
• If there’s any intention to reactivate, the search index must be rebuilt.

Disabling Site Builder streamlines your NetSuite account by removing unnecessary functionalities, particularly if they are no longer required for your operations. This can help in maintaining a clean and efficient workflow within your system.

Key Takeaways

• Ensure all Site Builder websites are inactive before complete disablement.
• Use the Enable Features page in NetSuite to deactivate Site Builder options.
• Remember to save your changes to apply the new settings.
• An inactive website still appears in reports unless filtered out.
• Reactivating a website requires a search index rebuild after it has been made inactive.
