Show Field’s Internal ID

NetSuite’s Field Help is a small pop-up window that displays a brief description of the field associated to it. To open it, simply click the field label.

But do you know that the Field Help can also display the field’s Internal Id? What is this for? For SuiteScript developer, this is god sent. One doesn’t need to go to the field configuration page to know the field’s Internal Id, he can just open the Field Help window to view this.

To make the Internal Id is the Field Help window visible, go to Home >> Set Preferences. Under the Defaults section, tick the “Show Internal IDs” checkbox then click the Save button.

That’s it! You can now view the field’s Internal Id in the Field Help window.

Great things really do come in small packages.
