Custom RESTlet development for dashboard data feeds requires JavaScript expertise, proper script deployment, and ongoing maintenance for API changes. Most teams struggle with the technical complexity and authentication management required for reliable data feeds.
Here’s how to get enterprise-grade dashboard data feeds without the development overhead.
Skip custom development with pre-built RESTlet management using Coefficient
Coefficient provides tested RESTlet scripts that handle authentication, data retrieval, and error management automatically. Instead of developing custom JavaScript solutions, you get pre-built scripts with automatic updates and version control. The platform manages OAuth 2.0 authentication and NetSuite’s 7-day token refresh cycles automatically, eliminating the authentication failures that break custom integrations. Built-in optimization handles NetSuite’s 15 simultaneous RESTlet call limit without manual rate limiting code.
How to make it work
Step 1. Deploy Coefficient’s RESTlet script.
Your NetSuite admin deploys the pre-built RESTlet script with proper permissions including SuiteAnalytics Workbook and REST Web Services access. This one-time deployment handles all the complex authentication and API communication requirements.
Step 2. Configure OAuth authentication.
Set up external URL and authentication parameters for secure API communication. The system automatically manages token refresh cycles and provides clear re-authentication prompts when needed.
Step 3. Define your dashboard data requirements.
Use Records & Lists for direct record access, Datasets for pre-configured data, or SuiteQL queries for complex dashboard calculations. Apply filters, sorting, and field selection to optimize data feeds for your specific dashboard needs.
Step 4. Set up automated refresh cycles.
Configure hourly, daily, or weekly refresh schedules for continuous dashboard updates. The automated scheduling handles connection failures, data retrieval issues, and retry logic without custom error handling code.
Step 5. Optimize for multiple subsidiaries.
Configure data feeds that support multiple subsidiaries and departments in a single setup. Built-in filtering ensures each dashboard gets the relevant data without complex custom logic.
Start your automated dashboard feeds
Pre-built RESTlet management provides enterprise-grade dashboard data feeds without the technical overhead and maintenance requirements of custom development. Your dashboards get reliable, current data without the ongoing development burden. Set up your automated NetSuite dashboard feeds now.
