Disabling UOM Subfields in SuiteAnalytics for NetSuite 2024.1

TL;DR Opening

In NetSuite 2024.1, users can disable the Quantity and Units fields of Unit of Measure (UOM) elements on SuiteAnalytics pages. This feature enhances customization and user experience, particularly in mobile applications, where editing of disabled subfields is not possible.

What's New

Starting in NetSuite 2024.1, administrators gain the ability to disable either or both the Quantity and Units fields on UOM page elements. This new functionality offers greater customization in data presentation and user interaction.

Implications for Mobile Users

Within the mobile app, once these fields are disabled, they cannot be edited. This is particularly useful for organizations wanting to streamline user interactions on mobile devices by reducing clutter and potential mistakes related to unintended edits.

How to Disable UOM Subfields

To successfully disable the Quantity and Units fields on a UOM page element, follow these steps:

Navigate to the relevant UOM settings within SuiteAnalytics.
Locate the fields for Quantity and Units.
Toggle the disable settings as per your requirements.
Save the changes to apply these settings.

Note: Always test these changes in a sandbox environment before applying them in production to ensure they meet your organization's needs.

Best Practices

Review your UOM usage and determine if disabling any fields would improve user efficiency.
Train mobile users on the implications of non-editable subfields to prevent confusion.

Who This Affects

Administrators: Responsible for configuring UOM settings.
Developers: May need to adjust integrations or software that interacts with UOM data.
Analysts and Managers: Require reporting aligned with the new UOM configurations.

Changes made in SuiteAnalytics can significantly affect data management and presentation.
