Folder Internal ID
To find the internal ID of a folder in NetSuite, you can use the following methods:
Search for the Folder in the File Cabinet:
- Navigate to Documents > Files > File Cabinet in the NetSuite dashboard.
- In the File Cabinet, locate the folder you’re interested in.
- Once you find the folder, move your mouse over the target folder without any click.
- On browser status bar, the internal ID of the folder is typically showing there, such as &folder=#### or id=####.
Using Advanced Search:
Go to Reports > Saved Searches > All Saved Searches > New.
- Select File as the search type.
- In the search criteria, set the File Type to “Folder”.
- Run the search, and the results will show the internal IDs of the folders in the results table.
SuiteScript (For Developers):
You can also use SuiteScript to retrieve the folder internal ID programmatically by running a search for files and folders.
Here’s an example of how to search for folders using SuiteScript:
var folderSearch = search.create({
type: search.Type.FOLDER,
columns: ['internalid', 'name']
});
folderSearch.run().each(function(result) {
log.debug('Folder ID: ' + result.getValue('internalid'), 'Folder Name: ' + result.getValue('name'));
return true;
});
