How to Access NetSuite Suite Answers?

To access SuiteAnswers, you have a couple of options within NetSuite:

  • Go to the NetSuite Help Center and click on “SuiteAnswers” in the toolbar.
  • Navigate within the NetSuite user interface, select “Support,” and then choose the “Go to SuiteAnswers” option. Alternatively, find the SuiteAnswers portlet on the Support tab and click on “Go to SuiteAnswers.”

Remember, you need to be logged into NetSuite to use SuiteAnswers. 

However, if you’re logged in with roles like Employee Center, Customer Center, Vendor Center, or Partner Center, accessing NetSuite Suite Answers directly may not be possible. In such cases, switch to a different role to gain access to SuiteAnswers.

Access Requirements for SuiteAnswers: You need to have your first and last name filled out in your employee records to get into SuiteAnswers. If these fields are empty, you’ll get an error message when trying to access SuiteAnswers. So, make sure your user details have the right first and last names.

SuiteAnswers vs. Help Center – The Difference

SuiteAnswers

SuiteAnswers provides helpful resources, including articles on specific topics and instructional videos to guide users. It houses the NetSuite Knowledge Base, offering a wealth of information. 

While it doesn’t have a conventional Table of Contents, users can find detailed User Guides and even delve into the OpenAir Knowledge Base for additional support. However, SuiteAnswers lacks multi-language content and context-sensitive help. On the bright side, it offers NetSuite Virtual Support Assistant assistance.

Help Center

The NetSuite Help Center is your go-to hub for comprehensive assistance. It covers various topics with accessible Help Topics and informative videos. While it doesn’t include the NetSuite Knowledge Base, it compensates with a helpful Table of Contents, making navigation much more accessible. 

The User Guides are readily available, and the Help Center supports multiple languages. Additionally, it provides context-sensitive help for more targeted support. Unlike SuiteAnswers, the Help Center doesn’t feature the NetSuite Virtual Support Assistant.

Using Search in NetSuite Suite Answers

SuiteAnswers offers various tools to help you navigate and search through its extensive knowledge base effectively. You can use natural language, keywords, or article IDs when searching. 

Additionally, you can employ quotes to narrow down results by including specific phrases or searching for particular error messages. The search bar has valuable features such as suggested Type-ahead, which anticipates your query as you type, and a search history that simplifies retrieving your past searches.

To refine your search further, SuiteAnswers provides handy filters. You can filter results based on content type, product categories, and target audience, allowing you to pinpoint the most relevant information to your needs.

For critical announcements related to performance issues or planned maintenance, Suite Answers NetSuite ensures visibility by displaying them prominently at the top of the page. 

Users can quickly close these announcements by clicking the ‘X’ on the top right, and the announcements will only reappear after logging out and logging back into SuiteAnswers. 

This ensures that users stay informed about critical updates without disrupting their workflow.
