Display design guide

Design the NetSuite Scoreboard for the screen and viewing distance.

A wall-mounted TV should not reproduce a dense NetSuite report. The scoreboard needs a clear hierarchy, approved scope, and information density matched to the people who will use it.

Guide in brief

  • Prioritize the recurring question before choosing charts or colors.
  • Use less information as viewing distance increases.
  • Test the real compatible browser display before launch.

Viewing context

Choose information density by audience and distance

Wall-mounted TV

Use large measures, short labels, strong contrast, and a small number of clear exceptions.

Warehouse screen

Emphasize current queues, pace, aging, or review conditions relevant to the shift.

Manager workstation

Allow denser comparisons and supporting context for close-up investigation.

Tablet or meeting room

Use a responsive layout for mobile review, standups, or a scheduled operating discussion.

Page design

Give every page one clear job

  • State the location, period, unit, and scope in plain language.
  • Keep the primary measure or queue visually dominant.
  • Use color as a supporting signal, not the only way to communicate status.
  • Show a visible NetSuite data-as-of time.
  • Move investigation detail to a manager page when it competes with across-the-room readability.

Rotation

Rotate pages deliberately

Scoreboard page rotation is separate from NetSuite data refresh. Pages may rotate every 20-60 seconds or at another configured interval while using the latest available NetSuite snapshot.

Give viewers enough time to understand each page. A longer interval may be appropriate for denser manager views, while a simple status page may need less time.

Display validation

Test the actual screen before deployment

  • Confirm supported browser, resolution, orientation, zoom, network access, and sign-in behavior.
  • Check headings, labels, tables, and data-as-of text at the real viewing distance.
  • Confirm that public-floor content omits or masks sensitive fields.
  • Test every configured page and the full rotation sequence.

Frequently asked questions

How often should pages rotate?

A common configured interval is 20-60 seconds, but the right timing depends on page density, audience, and operating context.

Does rotating a page refresh NetSuite?

No. Page rotation uses the latest available snapshot. Standard NetSuite result updates occur separately, approximately every 15-20 minutes.

Should a TV show every KPI?

No. A shared display should show the smallest set of approved measures, queues, or exceptions needed by its audience.
