Accessing Legacy Tab Properties in...

The Legacy Tab provides access to properties that may transition to Site Management Tools or Extensions. This tab is exclusively available in SuiteCommerce implementations, and its features are intended for users on versions prior to SuiteCommerce Advanced (SCA) 2018.2.

Key Features of the Legacy Tab

The Legacy Tab contains the following subtabs:

Newsletter Subtab: Manage newsletter signup properties and settings.
Footer Subtab: Access and configure footer settings.

It’s important to note that starting from SCA 2018.2, users will not have the templates required to use this tab. Hence, it is advisable for those on this version or later to avoid using the Legacy Tab.

Newsletter Management

The Newsletter Subtab allows for the configuration of properties related to newsletter subscriptions. Key settings include:

When a user subscribes and there's no existing Customer or Lead record, a new Lead record will be created in NetSuite. This record's Global Subscription Status will be set to Soft Opt-In by default.
Each Lead created requires either a Name or Company Name, which by default will be set to unknown.

Configuration Settings

The following settings can be defined within the Legacy Tab for newsletter-related operations:

Field Name	Type	Description
newsletter.genericFirstName	String	Defines the generic first name for new leads.
newsletter.genericLastName	String	Defines the generic last name for new leads.
