Enhancements to the NetSuite User Interface in NetSuite 2024.1 

Text Enhance

NetSuite’s Text Enhance is your AI writing assistant for business content. It helps you create, refine, and adjust the length of your writing to fit your needs.  

Text Enhance is data driven. When you’re editing a page, it analyzes the information there to suggest relevant content. For instance, if you’re writing a sales description for a product, Text Enhance considers details like the item name, vendor description, and existing stock and display descriptions. It can even tailor descriptions for different purposes. When generating text for a purchase order, the tone and details might differ from what it creates for a customer-facing sales description.  

Text Enhance in NetSuite is:

  • On by default: You don’t need to specifically turn it on to use it.  
  • Limited by location: Currently available only in the United States and Canada.  
  • English only: Can only assist with writing in English.  
  • Available to certain users: Accessible to SuitePeople, SuiteCommerce, and Inventory customers, and anyone editing a page where Text Enhance is offered.  
  • Admin controlled: Administrators can enable/disable it and view monthly usage through Setup > Company > AI > Text Enhance.  

Using Text Enhance involves these steps:  

  1. Fill in the required fields on the page.
  1. Access the “Enhance Text” menu by clicking the button.
  1. Choose an action:
  • Generate: Create text based on provided information.
  • Clean Up: Correct errors and refine existing text.
  • Make Shorter: Trim text if it’s too long.
  • Make Longer: Expand text into detailed prose.
  • Undo: Revert to previous content.
  • Redo: Restore the last undone action
  1. Once an action is selected, Text Enhance updates the content.
  1. Review and refine the generated or updated text as needed.
Favorites Feature Available in Dropdown Lists

You have the option to designate up to five preferred items within the Customer, Add Multiple, and Items fields when creating sales orders. Additionally, within the Add Multiple field, you have the ability to exclusively display your favorite items by activating the “Show favorites only” checkbox. 

To activate the Favorites feature, navigate to Set Preferences > General and ensure the “Allow Favorites in Dropdowns” option is selected. You can mark an item as a favorite by clicking on the star icon adjacent to its name in the dropdown menu. 

It’s important to note that Favorites are tailored to your individual preferences and are tied to your specific NetSuite account and role, providing a personalized experience. 

Page Search Enhancements

Now, users have the option to collapse both the Global Search Results and the Current Page Results sections within the Page Search feature simply by clicking on their respective headings. 

To expand the list of results, users can click on “Show [N] more results.” Conversely, to collapse the list of results, they can click on “Show less results.” These intuitive controls offer users greater flexibility in managing and navigating through search results, enhancing their overall search experience within the platform. 

Improved Color Contrast 

The contrast of text colors has been enhanced across various interface elements, including submenus, search results, and field group labels. This improvement ensures better visibility and readability, making it easier for users to navigate through menus, identify search results, and interpret field group labels effectively. By refining the color contrast, NetSuite aims to optimize the user experience and facilitate smoother interaction with the platform’s interface.

Removal of the Ext JS Library 

NetSuite has initiated the procedure to eliminate the unsupported Ext JS library. If your customizations depend on this library’s API, even though it lacks support, it’s crucial to prepare for its removal promptly. 

The Ext JS library will be phased out prior to 2025. This removal could potentially disrupt external references to the library. To continue utilizing the Ext JS library API with SuiteScript, you must either substitute it with your own external instance of the library or modify your code to operate without reliance on the Ext JS library.

Conclusion 

NetSuite’s 2024.1 update introduces enhancements aimed at improving user experience and productivity. With features like Text Enhance, Favorites, and Page Search improvements, users can work more efficiently. The removal of the Ext JS library also signifies a shift towards modern technologies. These updates collectively enhance the NetSuite experience for users
