Troubleshooting

NetSuite Guided Learning is enabled in my account, yet I can't see the Help Panel. What does this mean and what should I do?

Note that the Help Panel is not displayed on all pages of NetSuite. However, if you have the feature enabled, it should always be visible on your home page. If you can't see it there, go to Home > Set Preferences and ensure that the Enable Oracle Guided Learning box is checked. If the feature is enabled but the Help Panel remains unavailable, contact your account administrator or, if you have the permission, submit a Support case.

I launched one of the guides but did not follow it and clicked elsewhere in the user interface. Does this interrupt the guide?

Yes, the guide gets interrupted. You need to use the Help Panel to run the guide anew.

Can I create my own guides or customize the existing ones?

Not right now. The NetSuite Guided Learning tool is currently undergoing a phased release to all NetSuite customers. When Guided Learning gets optimized for use in NetSuite, information regarding your eligibility for the free offering of NetSuite Guided Learning and additional paid customization options will be communicated. At that time, your account representative and other members of the NetSuite team will be able to provide details on how to access Guided Learning.
