You are on the Group Edition and do not have a choice (Autopilot options are only available on the Enterprise Edition. Ask us about upgrading.)
Step 1: Switch to One-Time tab and select the record where you want to save the email to.
Step 2: If you also want to save this email to additional records that we did not pull back for you, use the search box to look for the record and attach the files.

To save NetSuite storage, Enterprise users can manually upload and attach files using OneDrive/SharePoint integration. Dive deeper about this feature!
Save Attachments to OneDrive and SharePoint and see them in NetSuite
If you have previously associated a OneDrive or SharePoint file or folder with a NetSuite record simply save the attachment(s) from Outlook to the folder and it will appear in NetSuite automatically since the folder is associated with NetSuite. If you have enabled desktop sync it's even easier, save the attachment to your synced OneDrive or SharePoint folder on your desktop.
This will not take up NetSuite storage space!
