ExtendInsights Data Management | Guide to help streamline your setup

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Welcome to ExtendInsights for Data Management NetSuite. We're glad to have you on board. We've created this short guide to help streamline your setup.

Who is required for the initial setup?

Doing the steps below we need three individuals from your organization. For some companies, this may be the same person. The users do not need to be present at the same time but they will each be required to perform an action.

  1. The admin assigned to login to subscriptions.cloudextend.io

  2. A user with NetSuite admin rights

  3. (Optional) A user with GLOBAL ADMIN rights to your Microsoft 365 environment


Review Excel Add-In Requirement

It's fine to go ahead and install ExtendInsights now but before actually using it be sure that you meet the prerequisites.

  • Excel 2019 or higher (preferably a Microsoft 365 subscription)

  • Excel Online

πŸ“ Note: If you don't have permission to install Add-Ins from the Microsoft AppSource share this article with your Microsoft 365 Administrator.


Install CloudExtend Bundle

  • CloudExtend Excel Data Management for NetSuite bundle (ID: 246132) is now available publicly for all NetSuite users and can be installed in your accounts from here (requires NetSuite Admin).


NetSuite Prerequisites

It is important to know the roles of users in NetSuite that need to be updated for ExtendInsights to work.

Company-Wide Setting

NetSuite Administrators need to enable:

  • SOAP Web Services

  • Token-Based Authentication

Step 1: In NetSuite, set the configuration globally by navigating to Setup> Company> Enable Features.

Step 2: Go to the SuiteCloud tab then enable checkboxes for SOAP Web Services under the SuiteTalk Section and Token-Based Authentication under Management Authentication.

End-User Settings

NetSuite Administrator's checklist for end-user configuration:

Step 1: Ensure that the role is not set to a Web Services Only role

In NetSuite, go to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles. Validate if the Web Service Only Role is OFF.

Step 2: User roles have the necessary permissions for each record type the user will be working with

The following permissions are enabled on any roles that will be logging in and using ExtendInsights.

In NetSuite, go to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles then choose the role to update:

  1. SOAP Web Services

  2. User Access Tokens

  3. SAML Single Sign-On

    • ONLY if your company uses Single Sign-On, ie OKTA, OneLogin, etc.

    • If you enable SSO and do not actually use SSO, users will NOT be able to login to NetSuite until you remove it.

  4. Allow JS/HTML uploads

    • if your user will need to upload .js and .htm files

  5. Log in using Access Tokens

    • Additional permission for User Access Tokens

    Permissions > Setup Tab

Step 3: Add custom field permissions to each role, if you have custom fields to be mapped.


Manage Licenses in the ExtendInsights Portal

Subscription Admins can log into https://subscriptions.cloudextend.io with their Microsoft account to start managing end-user licenses and assign other administrators.

If users have different email addresses for NetSuite and Microsoft/Google, the admin must update the email in the license section of ExtendInsights by replacing the NetSuite email with the Microsoft/Google email.

To begin managing your CloudExtend Excel for NetSuite licenses please follow the steps below:

ExtendInsights Installation Steps

Microsoft offers a convenient way to install add-ins for multiple users at once. This is also ideal for companies that globally block access to the Office store but need to make exceptions for certain users and/or apps.

Users will then receive an email within 30-60 minutes with instructions on installing the add-in and more.


Whitelist the celigo.com domain

In order to ensure all users receive this email along with any other important communication from us, it is important to whitelist the celigo.com domain otherwise there is a chance it can go to their spam folder. Learn how here.
