Configure a mobile device to launch DSI Direct for DSI Employee users

We recommend creating two shortcuts on the home screen of each device that you want to access and run Direct for NetSuite apps. This enables you to quickly access the required webpages. For DSI Employee users, the first shortcut should link to the standard NetSuite Customer Login Portal screen, and the second shortcut should link to the Direct App Menu in your NetSuite instance. After creating these shortcuts, DSI Employee users can use the first link to log into their NetSuite user account, and then use the second link to open the list of Direct apps.

Prerequisites:

Either Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari is installed on the device.
The Direct for NetSuite solution is installed on the desired NetSuite instance. Refer to Install the bundle in NetSuite.
Your NetSuite user account has access to a role that can open Direct apps, such as DSI_MobileClient_User.

To create the two recommended shortcuts for a DSI Employee user, complete the following steps on the mobile device.

On your device, open your browser app.

Note:This process requires either Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari.
In the browser app, in the navigation bar, go to https://system.netsuite.com/pages/login.jsp.

Expected Result

Expected Result
