What can be configured on the preferences subtab of a role?

The preferences subtab of a role in NetSuite is specifically designed for the configuration of settings that are tailored for that particular role. This allows administrators to customize how users assigned to that role interact with the system.

By setting preferences specific to the role, administrators can define various aspects such as default display options, script settings, and other customizations that align with the needs of users in that role. This level of customization helps enhance usability and ensures that users have the appropriate tools and settings they require to perform their tasks effectively.

In contrast, while access permissions for users are crucial to role management, they are not located in the preferences subtab. Permissions are typically dictated by the permission settings under the role configuration, rather than the preferences section. Default workflows applicable to the role are also managed separately, as workflows are tied to more comprehensive process automation rather than role-specific preferences. Finally, dashboard layouts, although highly relevant to user experience, are configured through different settings in NetSuite, not strictly limited to the preferences subtab for roles.
