·View Oracle Docs

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, gaining actionable insights from data is crucial. NetSuite's Narrative Insights feature offers a powerful tool, using generative artificial intelligence (AI) to simplify the interpretation of various reports and records. This AI-driven utility aims to accelerate your decision-making by offering concise summaries that emphasize trends, data anomalies, risks, and opportunities inherent in your datasets.

Getting Started with Narrative Insights

To utilize Narrative Insights, users must first ensure that their account settings allow for this feature. The Enable Narrative Insights preference is located on the AI Preferences page within your NetSuite account settings and is turned on by default. Remember, only users assigned an Administrator role can disable this preference.

How to Generate Insights:

  1. Open a supported report or record.
  2. Click on Generate Insight.
  3. A dialog will appear providing a detailed summary based on your selected content.
  4. You may re-run this function by clicking Generate again, affording you dynamic content presentation.

Note: The reports must be pre-approved to work with Narrative Insights. To check the compatibility of your reports, refer to the Narrative Insights Overview within NetSuite.

Key Considerations

While AI has made significant strides in data interpretation, it's crucial to approach Narrative Insights' summaries with an analytical mindset. AI-generated content may omit certain details or contain inaccuracies due to the nuances of natural language processing.

It's essential to cross-reference these AI-supplied summaries with the detailed data in your reports to ensure accuracy and comprehensiveness. Oracle emphasizes the verification of these insights since the AI's capacity might vary depending on the region, data quality, and user configurations.

Availability

Narrative Insights is available to users in regions where the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Generative AI service is activated. Additionally, your language preference must be set to English for the service to function correctly. Whether your account supports this feature can hinge on regional settings, language models, and account configurations.

Key Takeaways

  • Narrative Insights offers AI-driven summaries for quick data assimilation, highlighting critical aspects like trends and anomalies.
  • Access requires specific regional and language settings, along with proper account configuration.
  • Generating insights is straightforward; however, users should always validate these insights carefully.
  • Availability is determined by regional setup, language support, and account settings.
  • Administrators control enabling/disabling features to align with organizational policies.

In conclusion, while Narrative Insights is a useful tool to expedite data analysis, leveraging it effectively involves understanding its setup intricacies and recognizing its supplemental nature to in-depth data analyses.
