Release Preview Account Requests in NetSuite Administration

TL;DR Opening

Requesting a Release Preview account allows administrators in NetSuite to test upcoming features before the official release. This can be done through either a production or sandbox account to ensure all user settings and preferences are accounted for during testing.

How to Request a Release Preview Account

To initiate a Release Preview account, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your production or sandbox account.
2. Navigate to Setup > Company > Release Preview.
3. Click on Request Release Preview.

Note

After your request is submitted, you can track its progress through the Account Status and Account Notifications fields within the platform. Users assigned the Administrator role will receive an email once the Release Preview account is ready for use.

Release Preview Notifications

Upon opting in for the Release Preview, email notifications will be dispatched to users with the Administrator role. These notifications include reminders about the Release Preview and upgrade updates.

In addition to emails, in-account notifications are available to administrators. To receive in-account Service Release Notifications, ensure the administrator has configured this setting appropriately.

Important Considerations

• Regularly update the list of administrators to ensure they receive essential notifications.
• Contact your account manager to make necessary changes regarding the administrator records.
• If administrators have opted out of notifications, they will not receive crucial updates. To opt back in, refer to the subscription management guidelines.

By staying informed through these notifications, administrators can better prepare for any changes that may affect access or functionality in NetSuite.

When using the Release Preview, testing the new features and understanding their implications before they go live can enhance your organization's adaptation to updates and improvements.

Who This Affects

• Administrators: Ensure they can request and manage the release previews effectively.
• IT Personnel: Stay informed about upcoming changes that can impact system setups.
