hey everyone! just signed in for the first time here. I'm fairly new to NetSuite.

welcome! there's a bunch of channels to join - if you're new you might consider #C5Y8YA27Q also

thank you @al3xicon appreciate your help! any other channels you recommend for beginners?

It depends more on what you're actively doing / using in NetSuite honestly, but #C29J1BPM3 is another pseudo-general channel to check out. #C29GDT351 and #C29UWN90Q are good FYI channels. Otherwise I'd just have a look and join what interests you.
