What are the different types of Scripts in Netsuite and How they are used ?

·         User Event Scripts: User Event scripts are triggered when users work with records and data changes in NetSuite as they create, open, update, or save records. User Event scripts are useful for customizing the workflow and association between your NetSuite entry forms. These scripts can also be used for doing additional processing before records are entered or for validating entries based on other data in the system.

·         Suitelets: Suitelets enable the creation of dynamic web content. Suitelets can be used to implement custom front and backends. Through API support for scripting forms and lists, these Suitelets can also be used to build NetSuite-looking pages. NetSuite tasklinks can be created to launch a Suitelet. These tasklinks can be used to customize existing centers.

·         RESTlets: RESTlets are server-side scripts that can be used to define custom, RESTful integrations to NetSuite. RESTlets follow the principles of the REST architectural style and use HTTP verbs, HTTP headers, HTTP status codes, URLs, and standard data formats. They operate in a request-response model, and an HTTP request to a system-generated URL invokes each RESTlet.

·         Scheduled Scripts: Scheduled scripts are executed on-demand in real-time or via a user-configurable schedule. Scheduled scripts are useful for batch processing of records.

·         Client Scripts: Client scripts are executed on the client. These scripts can be attached to and run on individual forms, or they can be deployed globally and executed on entity and transaction record types. Global client scripts enable centralized management of scripts that can be applied to an entire record type.

·         Portlet Scripts: Portlet scripts are used to create custom dashboard portlets. For example, you can use SuiteScript to create a portlet that is populated on-the-fly with company messages based on data within the system.

·         Mass Update Scripts: Mass update scripts allows you to programmatically perform custom mass updates to update fields that are not available through general mass updates. You can also use action scripts to run complex calculations, as defined in your script, across many records.

·         Workflow Action Scripts: Workflow action scripts allow you to create custom actions that are defined on a record in a workflow.

·         Bundle Installation Scripts: Bundle installation scripts fire triggers that execute as part of bundle installation, update, or uninstall. Trigger execution can occur either before install, after install, before update, after update, or before uninstall. These triggers automatically complete required setup, configuration, and data management tasks for the bundle.
