NetSuite external form - netsuite

I need to present a form to customers to allow interaction with regard to back orders ... Cancel, wait, fill or Add to, etc. What facility does NetSuite offer for things like online forms or Suitelets and if so, do I need a site external to NetSuite?
thanks in advance for any help

Customer Center is included in Netsuite. It is possible to inject links to Suitelets into this to provide any missing functionality.
The devil is in the details though in terms of achieving any particular level of functionality and design.
External customer forms are meant as marketing tools.

Custom workflow based on templates with multi-user e-sign

After initial browsing in Google, I couldn't work out the scope of DocuSign API.
I would like to know if it's feasible to implement these features
Multiple templates with custom form fields
Assign workflow to templates - multi-user e-signing by stages?
automate e-signing internally
User management/privileges - to create new document, recall/cancel, etc
Manage List of recipients - type association
Reporting such as; number of documents signed in the last month,
Please briefly explain what is DocuSign capable of and what needs to be developed differently
Thanks in advance
The general answer to your question is "yes." The DocuSign website, Developer Center, and Signature API reference documentation can help you understand the DocuSign Signature product and APIs.
If you have additional questions, you can talk with DocuSign staff, or try it for yourself. The Developer center enables you to create a free developer sandbox.
For API issues, you can also ask questions here on StackOverflow. Note that your questions should be much more specific than the questions you listed above. You also should show what you have already tried and what is not working for you.

Making a website but need E-commerce

I want to make a website for my friend who wants to sell clothing items. I can code a website with html, css and basic Javascript. I think this would be great for a portfolio piece. My only concern is I don't know enough programming to build a shopping cart or the checkout. Or any transaction for that matter. I can code forms but only the design of them. Can someone more experienced lend some advice on what I can do? Is there a way I can design my own website but use something else for the e-commerce part? Thanks in advance.
You have 3 options
Develop the whole store yourself
Use a CMS/Plugin to achieve that (like woocommerce for wordpress)
Make your site simple plain html with links to PayPal or similar's
I think you are looking for the last option here. It doesn't come with a lot of options, but would help you sell products and manage prices/expenses/return/etc. in a trusted service. You can create pricing buttons inside paypal for business website, and place them with html on your website. When the person clicks the button, they would be redirected to paypal's website
PayPal for Business
Premier accounts include all the benefits of Personal accounts, as well as our special features. Business accounts allow you to do business under a company or group name, accept all payment types for low fees, and accept payment from customers without PayPal accounts.
You can find more information on how to proceed on PayPal Developer Wiki

Extending NetSuite's default business logic

I am new to NetSuite and am trying to get an understanding of how it works in the area of business rules. So sorry if these are questions with obvious answers.
I understand a user/consultant can extend/customize it to fit with my business needs.
My questions therefore are:
Presumably a default instance of NetSuite contains various business
rules that will fit some business needs. As a user/consultant can
you view this default business logic?
Can a consultant change the core business logic? Or is it more a case of adding code before and after the default logic fires?
Is the default business logic/rules written in SuiteScript, or is SuiteScript only used by 3rd parties when extending/overriding the default logic?
Thanks
We cannot view the code that governs the default NetSuite logic and business rules, but the NetSuite Help documentation has a ton of information about how vanilla NetSuite works. All users can view and study the Help files to become more familiar with NetSuite and its default processes.
We cannot change the default code, but we can absolutely add code before and after many different events.
The default business logic is written in SuiteScript, but again, we cannot view that code. Third parties utilize SuiteScript to extend the default NetSuite functionality.
SuiteScript is not the only option for customizing NetSuite. There is also SuiteFlow, which provides users with the capability of graphically building workflows to define business rules based on user actions. No code is required (though under the covers, workflows essentially build hidden SuiteScript). There are several things that can only be accomplished in workflows and not in SuiteScript, and vice versa.
Netsuite's ERP, CRM, eCommerce modules have predefined standard rules which are acccording to industry standard. But customers have sometimes different business needs. For that we can customize Netsuite. There are various customization tools available in Netsuite. It supports to extend standard functionality as well as implement our custom logic. It provides suite scripts,a java script based API which can be used in almost every where in Netsuite for customization. Along with that it provides UI based customization in the form of SuiteBuilder. We can fire script before any standard business logic, after standard business logic run. We can add client side validations, schedule our application to trigger at specific time and many more. The standard business logic is written by Netsuite, we cant alter them, we cant see the code. It is the way it works. If you are new to Netsuite, it is suggested to read netsuite help guide. There is no online help other than Netsuite available. So you must go through them. If you have other query, feel free to ask.

How to create a shopping cart(Ecommerce site) using NetSuite

I am new to NetSuite. I don't know anything about the NetSuite. I want to create a new Shoppping cart(Ecommerce site) in the NetSuite. I am not able to find the steps so that I can create a new shopping cart using the NetSuite.
Please anybody provide me the full information of the NetSuite so that I can start the work on the E-commerce site.
with such a generic question I can only give a generic answer, which is to start at the start and learn about the system you are about to work with.
https://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl
If you have specific questions or issues, folks here can be more helpful.
First, the netsuite account must have the ecommerce module.
Understanding of item types in Netsuite (items are integrated in ecommerce).
Netsuite website template, they are not the best in terms of UI design but you can always do something about it using css.
Of course the help guide and Netsuite usergroup is one of the best resources out there.

To Create an Employee directory

We are researching the various options that exist in our environment to create an Employee Directory. We have a SharePoint portal, AD and recently moved from Lotus Notes to Exchange. Our current employee search is a custom Notes DB that has since been retired.
Since moving to SharePoint an year ago, we've used a custom list using SharePoint Profiles that are updated from AD. But the simple list interface isn't very user friendly and is very slow. Sone of the requirements include type-ahead, pictures, and details of skills/certifications and other demographic information etc. We are considering building an ASP.NET or SilverLight application that can consume the information in the SharePoint list. With the introduction of Outlook and the Global Address List, we are now wondering if it might be easier to build something within Outlook.
Has anybody traveled a similar path and what would you advice us to do?
Microsoft has a huge set of offerings for Collaboration and Social Computing in Sharepoint.
See this document, pages 8 and 9 for information about features related to an employee directory, including details of skills/certifications and other demographic information.
A la carte availability of individual features (such as People Profiles and People Search) and pricing may be an issue, but you may want to look into buying something rather than building it (if you can get the pieces you want for a price you can afford).
Sharepoint can connect with Outlook to keep the lists synchronized if you want to use outlook. And there are definitely a lot of different ways to change the way the lists are presented in the Sharepoint portal to make them more user-friendly. Having those details on the portal will certainly be a boon when combined with the powerful search and indexing features in SharePoint so you can identify employees based on their profile details easily.
We use the people search for this pretty effectively. We populate data in AD, then connect profile properties to AD attributes. That's only if you have MOSS, though. If you're working with WSS, you'll have to build something more custom.
One gotcha, though, is that the People Search out of the box doesn't easily do partial searches (i.e. searching for "john" doesn't match "johnson"). That's a big downer in my mind. You can use Ramon Scott's approach of a Content Editor Webpart with a form and some Javascript to work around it, and you can also get there via the advanced search box (albeit indirectly), but it sure would be nice if it were easy to make the default search box do partial name searches.
I recently just discoverd a somewhat easy visual basic script that draws information from the active directory where you can specify which OU to draw from where it displays all user information in a simple .HTM page. it includes a search bar, recognizes patterns (address) (company telephone number) etc... If you would like i can post it for you. you only need to fill in a few sections (display name for directory, OU, OU display, and tags) and you can always change the way things look too.
This should be taken care of by using the My Site feature that's available within SharePoint. You will then be able to search SharePoint users by skills, certifications, projects, and educational qualification.
Please refer to the SharePoint Planning and Deployment material on TechNet for more info.
