XLANS NextGen | Learn how to add your NetSuite saved searches to a schedule with CloudExtend Excel Analytics for NetSuite

Updated over a week ago

Putting your NetSuite searches on a schedule is a smart way to automatically keep your Excel data in sync with NetSuite. For records that don't change often (such as subsidiary lists, and G/L accounts) consider adding them to a monthly schedule (or manual refresh). For records that change often such as transactions consider adding them to a schedule that matches your reporting needs. For example, if you have a sales dashboard add your sales order search to an hourly schedule.
