SSP Application Asset Precedence Management in NetSuite

SSP applications in NetSuite allow users to store multiple website customizations within a single account, which can include modifications for identical web store touch points. When a URL directs to an asset that exists in several SSP applications, a precedence system dictates which application responds to the request.

Understanding SSP Application Precedence

Each SSP application is assigned a precedence sequence number, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. The application with the lower number has higher precedence. Consequently, files within an SSP application that has a lower precedence number are utilized first.

By default, newer SSP applications automatically take precedence over existing applications when they are integrated into an account. However, administrators have the flexibility to adjust the precedence of any SSP application within NetSuite.

Example of Precedence Behavior

When a new SSP application is installed, it is assigned a default precedence of 1. This gives it priority over any files within applications that carry a precedence of 2, 3, 4, and so forth. Administrators can change this precedence whenever necessary to suit their needs.

How to Change SSP Application Precedence

1. Navigate to Customization > Scripting > SSP Applications.
2. Click the Change Precedence button.
3. Adjust the numbers in the Precedence column as necessary and click Submit.

Following these steps can help maintain a proper hierarchy for your web assets, ensuring the intended customizations are deployed correctly.

Key Considerations

• Always review the current precedence configurations when adding new SSP applications to ensure that the desired assets are prioritized appropriately.
• Changes to precedence can take immediate effect, so it's wise to verify the functionality after any adjustments.
