# Entity Custom Forms

Entity Custom Forms lets you select which NetSuite form template is used when creating or editing customers, contacts, and vendors through <code class="expression">space.vars.productName</code> for this subsidiary.

## Accessing Entity Custom Forms

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the NetSuite Admin view

Switch to **NetSuite Admin** in <code class="expression">space.vars.productName</code>.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select the subsidiary

Use the subsidiary switcher at the top right.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open Configurations

Click **Configurations** in the left sidebar, then scroll to the **Entity Custom Forms** section. Alternatively, the standalone [Forms](/netsuite-admin-guide/forms.md) page in the sidebar shows the same settings in a dedicated view.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## How it works

Just like transaction forms, NetSuite can have multiple form layouts for entity types. This setting tells <code class="expression">space.vars.productName</code> which form to display when a user creates or edits a customer, contact, or vendor record.

If no form is selected, NetSuite uses its own default form for that entity type.

## Supported entity types

| Entity type  | Description                                       |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Customer** | Customer company or individual record             |
| **Contact**  | Individual contact linked to a customer or vendor |
| **Vendor**   | Supplier or vendor record                         |

## Setting a custom form

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Find the entity type

Locate the entity type in the list.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Pick the form from the dropdown

Use the dropdown next to it to select the NetSuite form you want <code class="expression">space.vars.productName</code> to use.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save

Click **Save Changes** at the top of the page.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Tips

* If a dropdown shows **-- Default Form --**, <code class="expression">space.vars.productName</code> uses NetSuite's default form for that entity type.
* Custom forms are commonly used to add subsidiary-specific fields or remove fields that aren't relevant to a particular business unit.
* These settings apply only to this subsidiary.
