4. What Does Flashlight Document?
This chapter provides a comprehensive description of exactly what customizations are documented in the system.
Captured and Documented in the Customization Record
Flashlight captures the following critical metadata related to your account customizations:
- Accounting/Setting Lists
- Custom Records and Custom Record Fields
- Custom Fields (i.e. Body, Item, Entity, Column, Item Number and Other Field)
- Mass Updates (except for mass update schedule information)
- Saved Searches (fields, criteria, joins with scripts/workflows and formulas)
- Unlocked and Un-encrypted Script Records (i.e. Client, User Event, Scheduled, Suitelets and Workflow Action)
- Locked Script Records (however related dependencies can be established)
- NetSuite Preferences (Accounting Preferences, Company Preferences etc.)
- Forms (Entry and Transaction)
- Script Deployments
- Script Library
- SuiteCommerce Advanced folder files and all custom SS, SSP and JS files
- User Roles
- Workflows
Partial Documentation
The following NetSuite objects are partially documented by Flashlight. They are not fully documented due to one or more of the following reasons:
- the record types do not have a NetSuite API that exposes the full customization data to Flashlight's spider
- the records are standard objects which cannot be changed
