Selecting the "Lock New Bar" option on the Publish Dashboard page has the effect of removing the "Create New" button from the user's dashboard in NetSuite. This option is part of dashboard customization and governance, allowing administrators to streamline user interfaces based on role-specific needs and to prevent clutter or confusion by limiting the options available to users directly from their dashboard. By removing the
"Create New" button, users are encouraged to follow predefined workflows for creating records or transactions, potentially reducing errors and ensuring data integrity by guiding users through the appropriate processes.References: NetSuite Help Center, Dashboard Customization and Publishing documentation.
