NetSuite Tip of the Month: Create unique themes for each environment

When working in NetSuite, it can be easy to overlook which environment you’re logged into. You may intend to perform testing in a sandbox environment but accidentally create transactions in production, leading to potential errors and complications.

A simple yet effective way to avoid mistakes is by assigning unique themes to each environment, making them visually distinct and easier to identify at a glance.

By changing the appearance settings in NetSuite, you can set a different color theme for production, sandbox, and other environments to ensure you always know where you are working.

To change the theme in NetSuite, follow the steps below:

1. Click on the Home icon and select Set Preferences
2. Navigate to the Appearance tab
3. Choose a color theme that differentiates the environment
4. Select Save to apply the changes

Having a different theme for each environment and role will help minimize mistakes from being in the incorrect environment.

• Reduces errors: Prevents accidental changes in the wrong environment.
• Saves time: Instantly recognize whether you’re in production or sandbox.
• Improves efficiency: Ensures testing and transactions happen in the correct environment.

This quick customization makes NetSuite more user-friendly and mistake-proof, allowing you to focus on your work with confidence. For more insights or support, contact Rand Group today.
