The Initialize Record activity uses the the NetSuite initialize operation to update a specific record (internalid).

After initializing the record, the activity outputs the new record of the initialization in a Record object (Record) that you can use in a subsequent activity. The status of the request and success/failure information will be set in a ResponseStatus object (NetSuiteStatus) that you can use in subsequent activities (e.g., conditional logic).

How it works

The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the Setup steps.
2. Add the NetSuite Application Scope activity to your project.
3. Add the Initialize Record activity inside the NetSuite Application Scope activity.
4. Click the Configure button inside the Initialize Record activity. This allows you to set the input parameters.
5. Select the Record Type of the record type you want the initialization to create.
6. Select the Reference Type of the record type you want to initialize.
7. Enter the Reference Id for the internalid of the reference record that will be initialized.
8. Create an enter a Record variable that will contain the newly created record.
9. Create and enter a ResponseStatus variable for the Output property.

Properties

The values for the following properties are specified when adding this activity to your project in UiPath Studio.

Configure

To enter your Initialize Record property values, you must use the Input Dialog by clicking the Configure button.
