As a developer working in a new NetSuite instance, one of the first things that you're going to need to do is enable SuiteScript. Doing so is incredibly easy.
From the Setup menu, select Company > Enable Features. You'll be presented with the Enable Features form.
Next, select the SuiteCloud tab, and scroll down until you see the SuiteScript options. The form will look something like this:
The two options that I typically set are "Client SuiteScript" and "Server SuiteScript." Enabling the "Client SuiteScript" feature gives you the ability to customize forms via scripts, while the "Server SuiteScript" feature gives you the ability to customize business processes on the server itself.
When you click the checkboxes, you'll be presented with the NetSuite SuiteCloud Terms Of Service. Scroll down and click the "I Agree" button.
That's really all there is to it!
Note that to enable SuiteFlow, you would follow this same process. The SuiteFlow option is on the same form as the SuiteScript option.
