Identify the constraints and benefits with renaming records/transactions.

Question 1

Best Practices for Renaming Records

Answer 1

Records:
⦁ Enter new names as singular
⦁ Do not rename a record the same as an existing record o (e.g. do not rename Customers as Partners)
⦁ Do not use the same word to rename more than one record o (e.g. do not rename Vendors and Employees both as Resources)
⦁ You can reorder the listing of accounts

Transactions:
⦁ Do not change the abbreviations
⦁ These abbreviations are referenced in NetSuite source material and renaming them can cause confusion
⦁ Help Text is also referenced by the NetSuite name

Which statement is correct about renaming records/transactions?
A. The navigational path to the record updates with the renaming.

Answer 2

A. The navigational path to the record updates with the renaming.

Question 3

Do field labels for records and transactions on previously created custom forms change when you make changes on the Rename Records/Transactions page?

Answer 3

No, you will need to manually edit field labels on custom forms.

Question 4

Are changes apploied to standard NetSuite element names? What about elements you have customized?

Answer 4

Name changes are applied to standard NetSuite element names (standard records, transactions, and page names), but not to elements you have customized.

Question 5

How are changes made in Rename Records/Transactions applied to other languages?

Answer 5

Name changes made in the Rename Records/Transactions page apply to the Language preference you currently have set atHome > Set Preferencesonly, not to every language. You need to reset your Language preference to each language that your account uses and repeat the renaming process. If you do not rename records and transactions with a language set as the preference, users in your account will continue to see the original Record/Transaction names when they set that language as their preference.fsafadgfd
