What Does Flashlight Document?
There are three outcomes for customizations Flashlight finds in the system:
- Captured and Documented
- Partially Documented
- Not Documented
Captured and Documented in the Customization Record
Flashlight captures the following critical metadata related to your account customizations:
- Custom Records and Custom Record Fields
- Custom Fields (for example, 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 Unencrypted Script Records (for example, Client, User Event, Scheduled, Suitelets and Workflow Action)
- Locked Script Records (however related dependencies cannot be established)
- Forms (Entry and Transaction)
- Script Deployments
- Script Library
- User Roles
- Workflows
Partially Documented in the Customization Record
The following NetSuite objects are partially documented by Flashlight. They are not fully documented for one or more of the following reasons:
- Record types do not have a NetSuite API that exposes the full customization data to Flashlight's spider
- Records are standard objects which cannot be changed
Object | Category | Description |
---|---|---|
Custom Report | Other | Custom Reports are documented including the report name, type and the date the report was last modified. Changes to the report itself cannot be documented by Flashlight at this time. |
Standard Column Field | Standard Objects | Customization records are created only for Standard objects that are in use by scripted objects such as Workflows or Scripts. These are tracked to identify the automation dependencies. |
Standard Sublist | Standard Objects | Customization records are created only for Standard objects that are in use by scripted objects such as Workflows or Scripts. These are tracked to identify the automation dependencies. |
