Fast, flexible access to data is vital to nimble decision making but building an analytics practice that can meet those needs requires tools that can accelerate your efforts. For example, analysts and decision makers often have reporting and analysis requests that require multiple sources of data be combined into a single report or chart. And to get the requirements right, report developers must write code to connect data and data objects together, which can take some time. This approach also creates a lot of back and forth between the developer and the requestor and delays decision making. If development resources are not available, analysts must use spreadsheets to manually combine multiple datasets to perform the analyses. Using spreadsheets to link datasets presents the same challenges as writing code but also removes real-time data analysis and lowers data quality.

With NetSuite 2022 Release 1, SuiteAnalytics reduces the amount of time and resources needed to link multiple NetSuite datasets thanks to a new user interface. Additionally, NetSuite is delivering more prebuilt analytics in the NetSuite Analytics Warehouse to reduce development costs while increasing time to value. These new capabilities give business leaders and analysts more direct access to data and higher quality analytics to make decisions.

New User Interface for Dataset Linking

Analyzing multiple data sets in a single SuiteAnalytics Workbook used to require writing code using the SuiteScript API. With NetSuite 2022 Release 1, SuiteAnalytics delivers a new, innovative user interface to link multiple datasets to a single workbook by dragging and dropping links. Business users can link multiple datasets in their workbooks without needing developer resources. With this new interface, analysts can:

  • More efficiently make use of datasets
  • Create visualizations faster with multiple datasets
  • Empower business users to create their own multiple dataset workbooks

This new user interface decreases the amount of time and resources needed to analyze business performance in areas like budget vs. actual, forecast vs. actual or planned vs. actual.
