The Query Builder workspace is where you create, edit, preview, and run SuiteQL queries using the AI Query Generator or manual SQL. This article explains the different sections of the Query Builder and how each part is used.

How to Open the Query Builder

  1. Open the ExtendInsights add-in in Excel.

  2. Go to the Analytics tab.

  3. At the bottom of the panel, click Queries.

  4. Click the ➕ (plus) icon to open the Query Builder.


Query Builder Interface Sections

The Query Builder workspace is divided into several key sections, each designed to support a specific part of the query workflow.

AI Query Prompt

Use the AI Query prompt to generate SuiteQL using natural language.

  • Enter a plain-English request describing the data you want

  • Click Run to generate the SuiteQL

  • The AI converts your prompt into a valid SuiteQL query

This is the fastest way to create a new query without writing SQL manually.

SuiteQL Editor

The SuiteQL screen displays the SQL generated by the AI or entered manually.

From this section, you can:

  • Review the AI-generated SuiteQL

  • Refine or edit the query to adjust filters, fields, or logic

  • Paste an existing SuiteQL query directly into the editor

  • Copy the SuiteQL using the Copy option in the bottom-right corner

This editor supports both AI-generated and manually written SuiteQL.

Preview Panel

Before downloading data, it’s recommended to validate your query using Preview.

  • Click Preview to retrieve the first 50 records

  • Review the results to confirm accuracy

  • Adjust the SuiteQL as needed based on preview results

Once you’re satisfied:

  • Click Save and Download to pull the full dataset into Excel

Previewing helps prevent unnecessary full downloads and ensures correct results.

🔄 Reset Button

The Reset button is located at the bottom-left of the SuiteQL section.

Use Reset when you want to:

  • Clear the AI prompt

  • Remove the generated SuiteQL

  • Clear preview results

  • Start building a new query from scratch

⚠️ Reset clears all current inputs and cannot be undone.
