## What the SuiteApp Installs

For your reference, here's what <code class="expression">space.vars.productName</code> installs in your NetSuite account:

| What gets installed | Description                                                                                             |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Custom Records      | New record types for storing catalogs, roles, settings, workflows, and more                             |
| Custom Fields       | New fields added to Employee, Customer, Vendor, and Partner records for portal access and configuration |
| Custom Lists        | Dropdown options used by the portal system                                                              |
| Script Files        | Background processes that power the portal features                                                     |
| Script Deployments  | Activated scripts that respond to events and handle requests                                            |
| File Cabinet Files  | Portal application files stored in the File Cabinet                                                     |

## What success looks like

Once verification passes, you should see the eight BRM record types, the three `custentity_brm_*` fields on entity records, and several active BRM script deployments. With those in place, the SuiteApp is fully installed.

## Common issues

* <code class="expression">space.vars.productName</code> **doesn't appear in SuiteApps search:** confirm your NetSuite edition supports third-party SuiteApps and your account is eligible. See [Installation Issues](/netsuite-admin-guide/common-issues/installation.md).
* **Installation fails partway:** required NetSuite features may not be enabled. Re-check the [Installation Checklist](/netsuite-admin-guide/overview/installation-checklist.md).
* **Some records or fields are missing after install:** the installation may not have completed. See [Installation Issues](/netsuite-admin-guide/common-issues/installation.md).
