Welcome to ExtendInsights for NetSuite. This guide walks Enterprise admins through every step required to get ExtendInsights Data Management and ExtendInsights Analytics up and running.

Follow the steps below in order. Each step identifies who performs it so you can coordinate across roles before starting.

Who Is Involved?

Three roles may be needed for setup. In smaller organizations, one person may cover more than one role.

Role	What They Do
Subscription Admin	Assigns and manages user licenses in the CloudExtend portal
NetSuite Admin	Installs the bundle and configures role permissions
Microsoft 365 Admin (optional)	Centrally deploys the Excel add-in across the organization. Optionally, end users can install on their own.

These users do not need to complete their steps simultaneously.

Before You Begin

Confirm the following before starting:

Your organization has an active or trial Enterprise subscription for ExtendInsights
You know which ExtendInsights features your organization is licensed for (Data Management, Analytics, or both)

Supported Excel versions:

Excel Online

Scheduling features (Analytics only) additionally require:

Workbook saved to OneDrive for Business or SharePoint
