Center Tabs
Center tabs can be created to add a permanent navigation bar tab to the NetSuite interface. These tabs can be added to Centers and limited by Audience (roles, people, departments, groups, customers, vendors, partners). Center Tabs can include Center Categories that will appear as drop-down navigation options and can contain links to pages within NetSuite or externally. The tab link will also allow the user to have a custom tab page with dashboards, links and portlets.
Turn on Custom Records
To begin creating center tabs, the Setup->Company->Enable Features — SuiteCloud->Custom Records feature must be turned on. Once that is enabled, the Custom Centers options become available under the Customization Tab.
Create Center Tab
Navigate to Customization->Centers and Tab->New to begin creating your new Center Tab. Once there, you will see a screen that looks like this:
A. Label
- The name that will appear in the Tab navigation
B. Center
- The Center you would like to associate this tab with
- If you choose “All”, the center tab will be placed next to Activities in the nav bar
- If you choose another Center like “Classic Center”, it will be placed in between Setup and Support
C. Categories
- When populated with Center Links, Categories will appear as drop down options on the tab in the nav bar.
D. Portlets
- This allows you to choose portlet you want to be available on the Center Tab landing page (if you click on the Center Tab in the nav bar.)
