Easily Publish Your NetSuite Saved Searches on Websites: A Guide to the New Feature

With the release of NetSuite 2026.1, a significant enhancement has been made in how users can publish saved searches on their websites. Previously, enabling a saved search for web publication required the selection of the Public checkbox. This method has now evolved, simplifying the process for developers and administrators.

New Checkbox for Publishing Saved Searches

In the 2026.1 update, the process for making a saved search accessible on the internet has changed to a more intuitive checkbox. Instead of marking a saved search as Public, you will now check the option labeled Available for publishing on website. This change streamlines the process and helps to clearly define the intent of the saved search, improving usability and reducing confusion for users.

How to Enable Saved Search for Web Publishing

To enable a saved search for publishing on your website, follow these steps:

Navigate to the saved search you want to publish.
Open the saved search for editing.
Locate the checkbox labeled Available for publishing on website and check it.
Save your changes.

This new approach reduces the potential for errors and reinforces best practices in saved search management.

Real-World Considerations

Although this feature adds convenience, there are some best practices and considerations to keep in mind:

Data Security: Review the data returned by your saved searches thoroughly. Ensure that no sensitive information is shared publicly, as these searches will be visible on your website.
User Experience: Design your saved searches with the end user in mind. Ensure the results are presented in a user-friendly manner, ideally tweaking the layout and formats for better readability.
Testing: Always test the saved search after publishing to verify that it displays correctly on your website. Additional testing may involve cross-browser compatibility checks.

Benefits of the New Feature

This new publishing option enhances your ability to share critical business data without compromising security or usability. It opens new avenues for customer engagement and allows for a more dynamic approach to displaying data on your eCommerce platform or company website.
