Using NetSuite is it possible to embed a search within another search? I have a search that I need that will be effectively using another search's results in the criteria.
The basic structure of my search is:
Return all non-inventory skus, starting with a specific prefix,
Where the occurrence of the previously mentioned skus on a custom field on
Inventory-Part records is greater than 0.
This is then intended to be used for alerts
I'm not sure how to build this within NetSuite's search builder.
I don't think this pertains to any scripting as m_cheung suggested.
To answer your question, yes this is doable via saved search.
Transaction > Management > Saved Search > New
Select 'Item' from the list
In the criteria section:
Type = 'Non-Inventory Items'
External ID = starts with (...your desired prefix) (NOTE: Assuming that prefix is the external ID from your question)
Select the Custom field and criteria is greater than 0.
Save and Run to confirm if this is the desired result.
using nlapiSearchRecord(RECORDTYPE, JOIN_, __SEARCHFILTERSARRAY, __SEARCHCOLUMNSARRAY) you can return the results of a search and pass the returned data further into script logic
for example if you build search1 using a searchFilter array and a searchColumn array then pass these arrays into nlapiSearchRecord('item'), you can assign this call to a variable:
var searchresults = nlapiSearchRecord('item', null, searchFiltersArray, searchColumnsArray);
then using searchresults (which is an nlobjSearchResults object) you can pull out your returned search data for criteria in search2:
if(searchresults)
{
for(i=0;i<searchresults.length; i++)
{
var search2FilterAndColumnData = searchresults[i].getAllColumns();
}
}
You can use a saved search for creating another search in suitescript.
Somewhat like ,
var arrSearchResult = nlapiSearchRecord( null , SAVED_SEARCH_ID , FILTERS , COLUMNS);

Creating saved search in suitescript using nlapiSearchRecord. All the column value returns except one column which is type is custom list.
How could I get value of custom list?
To get the value I'm using code lines below.
columns[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn( 'customlist' );
var searchresults = nlapiSearchRecord( 'customrecord', null, filters, columns );
To get the column value
var listValue = searchresult.getListValue( 'customlist' );
I assume you've simplified your code in trying to be clear or confidential but there will never be fields or records with those ids.
from a search you would do:
var searchResult = searchResults[0];
searchResult.getValue(fieldId, joinName, summary)
// or in your case
searchResult.getValue('customlist'); //returns id of list value or simple result of non-list/record fields
or (and I think this is the one you want)
searchResult.getText('customlist'); // returns the display value of the list/record field.
I am trying to retrieve records in Netsuite via SuiteScript. I would like to use the lastmodifieddate column to fetch record after a certain timestamp.
I am currently doing:
var filters = [new nlobjSearchFilter('lastmodifieddate', null, 'notbefore', time)];
var columns = [new nlobjSearchColumn('lastmodifieddate')];
var newSearch = nlapiCreateSearch(table, filters, columns);
var searchResultSet = newSearch.runSearch();
var back = nextEndIndex - 1000
var results = searchResultSet.getResults(back, nextEndIndex);
Where time is a datetime JS, nextEndIndex index counter for results.
This works for some objects but majority of Netsuite objects do not have the lastmodifieddate column in the record browser. Is there a built in variable for the lastmodifieddate? And if there is, how can I use it in nlapiCreateSearch? If you have better ways to do it, I would be grateful for the info.
Here is a simple example for SuiteScript 2.0.
define(['N/search'],function(search){
function test(chkDate){
log.debug(chkDate);
var empSearch=search.create({
type:search.Type.EMPLOYEE,
columns:['internalid','firstname','lastmodifieddate'],
filters:['lastmodifieddate','after',chkDate]
}).run().each(function(result){
log.debug(JSON.stringify(result));
return true;
});
}
test('05/30/2017');
});
This example is searching for employees, since I was not sure which record type you were looking at. Below are links to the information you can use to build out your searches:
Records Browser (look at the bottom of each section in the filters and columns):
Search Operators (shows which ones to use for which field types)
API Docs
Transactions are slightly different than entities. Transactions have lines. If you are trying to determine the true last modified date of a transaction, you may need to consider using the "Line Last Modified" field in place of "Last Modified Date." Try writing a simple search to pull Sales orders. Include "Last Modified Date" and "Line Last Modified." Then write a simple formula to show those that don't match. When I did this, there were a number of mismatches, with instances of "Line Last Modified" being more than 1 month later than "Last Modified Date." So if you are looking for the true last modified date, you may need to use the max "Line Last Modified."
You could use a 'Max' Summary Filter on {systemnotes.date} - you will of course need to Group by record (document number or internal id for example) for this to show correct results.
I have a list of categories, e.g. 1000, 1001, 1002, 1003, etc... and users have access to only some of these categories. I want to filter my lucene.net search results based on only categories that the user has access to, or to omit results for items they don't have access to.
I have tried using the Lucene FieldCacheTermsFilter but this returns no results at all:
New Lucene.net.search.FieldCacheTermsFilter("category", {"1000", "1002"} )
Is there a better way to filter results based on a particular field having a value that exists in a list?
I solved this by using a BooleanQuery wrapper around my main query in all cases.
I took my originaly search query (MainQuery) and created a new BooleanQuery using occur.must for that and my security query as below:
dim SecurityQuery as New lucene.net.search.BooleanQuery( )
For Each id as string in AllowedIDs
q.Add(New TermQuery(New Lucene.Net.Index.Term("category", s)), Occur.SHOULD)
Next
Dim FinalQuery As New lucene.net.search.BooleanQuery( )
FinalQuery.Add( MainQuery, occur.must )
FinalQuery.Add( SecurityQuery, occur.must )
This doesn't use a Filter, so I am unsure as to whether this is the best performing option. But it works.
Ive been trying to create a suitelet that allows for a saved search to be run on a collection of item records in netsuite using suitescript 1.0
Pagination is quite easy everywhere else, but i cant get my head around how to do it in NetSuite.
For instance, we have 3,000 items and I'm trying to limit the results to 100 per page.
I'm struggling to understand how to apply a start row and a max row parameter as a filter so i can run the search to return the number of records from my search
I've seen plenty of scripts that allow you to exceed the limit of 1,000 records, but im trying to throttle the amount shown on screen. but im at a loss to figure out how to do this.
Any tips greatly appreciated
function searchItems(request,response)
{
var start = request.getParameter('start');
var max = request.getParameter('max');
if(!start)
{
start = 1;
}
if(!max)
{
max = 100;
}
var filters = [];
filters.push(new nlobjSearchFilter('category',null,'is',currentDeptID));
var productList = nlapiSearchRecord('item','customsearch_product_search',filters);
if(productList)
{
response.write('stuff here for the items');
}
}
You can approach this a couple different ways. Either way, you will definitely need to sort your search results by something meaningful and consistent, like by internal ID. Make sure you've got your results sorted either in your saved search definition or by adding a search column in your script.
You can continue building your search exactly like you are, and then just using the native slice method on the productList Array. You would use your start and end parameters to pass as the arguments to slice appropriately.
Another approach is to use the async API for searches. It will look similar to this:
var search = nlapiLoadSearch("item", "customsearch_product_search");
search.addFilter(new nlobjSearchFilter('category',null,'is',currentDeptID));
var productList = search.runSearch().getResults(start, end);
For more references on this approach, check out the NetSuite Help page titled "Search APIs" and the reference page for nlobjSearch.
I have a SharePoint 2013 (The Cloud version) custom list where 1 column is a text field where contact numbers are keyed in.
How can I get SharePoint to highlight duplicate values in that column so that every time a new item is added to the list, I'll know if the contact number has been used previously?
Ideally, here's what I'd get if I were to enter 816's details for the 2nd time:
CNO....Name.......Issue
816.....Blink........Login Problem (highlighted in red)
907.....Sink.........Access Denied
204.....Mink.........Flickering Screen
816.....Blink........Blank Screen (highlighted in red)
I've been struggling with this for awhile and would be very grateful for any advice. Thanks!
Since SharePoint 2013 uses Client Side Rendering (CSR) as a default rendering mode I would recommend the following approach. Basically the idea is to customize List View on the client side as demonstrated below.
Assume the Requests list that contains RequestNo column.
The following JavaScript template is intended for highlighting the rows when list item with RequestNo column occurs more then once:
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides({
OnPostRender: function(ctx) {
var rows = ctx.ListData.Row;
var counts = getItemCount(rows,'RequestNo'); //get items count
for (var i=0;i<rows.length;i++)
{
var count = counts[rows[i]["RequestNo"]];
if (count > 1)
{
var rowElementId = GenerateIIDForListItem(ctx, rows[i]);
var tr = document.getElementById(rowElementId);
tr.style.backgroundColor = "#ada";
}
}
}
});
function getItemCount(items,propertyName)
{
var result = {};
for(var i = 0; i< items.length; i++) {
var groupKey = items[i][propertyName];
result[groupKey] = result[groupKey] ? result[groupKey] + 1 : 1;
}
return result;
}
How to apply the changes
Option 1:
Below is demonstrated probably one of easiest way how to apply those changes:
Open the page in Edit mode
Add Content Editor or Script Editor web part on the page
Insert the specified JavaScript template by enclosing it using
script tag into web part
Option 2:
Save the specified JavaScript template as a file (let's name it duplicatehighlight.js) and upload it into Site Assets library
Open the page in Edit mode and find JSLink property in List View web part
Specify the value: ~sitecollection/SiteAssets/duplicatehighlight.js and save the changes.
Result
SharePoint has some basic conditional formatting for Data View Web Parts and XSLT List Views, but the conditions you can use are rather limited. You can compare a field in the current item with a value that you specify. There are no formulas to count the number of items with the same name or similar, which would be the approach to use to identify duplicates.
If you need to identify duplicates, you may want to create a view that groups by the CNO number. Grouping will also include an item count, so you can run down the list and spot groups with more than one item.
