The Before Load trigger point runs when a record loads, and the Before Submit and After Submit triggers are available when the record submits.īased on the differences mentioned above, there is a basic thought process I go through to determine whether to use a Client Script or a User Event Script. The only times a User Event Script can be triggered are when a record loads and when submits. User Event Scripts have 3 trigger points.Since Client Scripts are immediately available to perform actions as you change fields and add lines, there are a lot of trigger points to choose from. Client Scripts have 10+ trigger points.That means unless all your users have a super computer, User Event Scripts will have a lower impact on overall performance than Client Scripts. Since User Event Scripts run on NetSuite’s server, they have access to more powerful resources. User Event Scripts run faster than Client Scripts.So if you have a generally slow computer a client script will run slowly. Since they run in the browser, they are using your computer’s resources to do the work. Client Scripts will only run as fast as your computer.Unlike a Client Script, the User Event Script is not immediately available when you load a record because it runs on the server, not the browser. That is the reason you can make it do something when you change a field. That means when you load a record the client script starts to run, and it is immediately available to perform actions when you click around on the record. So which one should you choose? Here are some basic differences that can help you decide which one to use for a customization.

You can do some of the same things with both Client scripts and User Event scripts. Before jumping into an example User Event script, let’s take a look at the differences between Client Scripts and User Event scripts and when you should pick one over the other.

When we are done going through use cases and scripting scenarios of User Event scripts, you should be able to create basic scripts on your own. Now we can start touching on the basics of User Event scripts.
