The screen grab above shows the page after New Field is clicked that is used to create the
custom fields. A common instruction is that "stored value" is checked.
For Example: Enter the Label (say “Summary”) and choose the Type (say “Free-Form Text”)
based on the visit field. Ensure that the Id field value is populated with prefix as “custrecord”
followed by label name. If the Label is “Summary”, then the Id should be “custrecordsummary”
(all lower case without any white space).

Configuration Settings
1. This screen allows us to setup what data from LeadForce1 has to be pushed into NetSuite and
what objects of NetSuite will be updated
2. Saved Search – Choose the saved search whose results will be updated into NetSuite. One saved
search can be added per user
3. Object synchronization Settings – This will push all the NetSuite data selected into LeadForce1.
This ensures that the LeadForce1 system is aware what are the latest objects created in NetSuite
so that they are not recreated again e.g. if a Lead object already exists, then visit data for that
lead will be updated and new lead object will not be created again. There are two options under
this
o Lead Object in NetSuite – All lead objects in NetSuite are moved into LeadForce1
o Account Object in NetSuite – All account objects are moved into LeadForce1
12 | P a g e
4. Object mapping
o There are two types of LeadForce1 data that can be pushed into NetSuite – unidentified
leads or identified leads
o There are 3 NetSuite objects into which the data can be moved – Leads / Accounts /
Contacts
 Please do not select option to update only contacts, that will create contacts but
will not associate site visit data to any of them (known issue).Always associate
with Account and Contact
o Depending on the privilege options new objects can be created or the visit items
(LeadForce1 visit data) updated on an existing object
o Privilege – Create and update specifies that a new NetSuite object will be created if one
doesn’t already exist or update an existing one (Recommended)
o Update – specifies that only if the object exists LeadForce1 data will be associated with
it
 If there is existing data in NetSuite then unless it is moved to LeadForce1, we
cant push visit data for that object
o For leads and contacts “email id” is used to determine if an object exists and for
Accounts company name will be used as criteria for match
