Saved Searches in SuitAnalytics
The search function in NetSuite delivers a powerful tool for the filtering and matching of data in order to address various business questions. A Saved Search is a list of results based on your chosen filters and criteria. Almost any type of record can be the foundation of, or included in, a Saved Search. They can be made private or shared with others as required.
You can set a Saved Search in its own portlet or place it as a shortcut on a dashboard, making it easy to access custom metrics at will. They can be updated in a few clicks and the Saved Search can be automatically sent to chosen recipients via email, with automatic follow-ups at scheduled intervals or as and when results are updated. You can also export Saved Searches in CSV or PDF formats.

The power of SuiteAnalytics is leveraged by NetSuite to offer a set of standard, customisable reports for virtually any transaction type. All reports can be modified and you can create custom reports from scratch based on your business needs using the tools the platform provides.

Key Performance Indicators are a reliable and accurate way to present business-critical information in a way that saves time for the user. It is easy to add KPIs to a NetSuite dashboard to enhance efficiency and improve business agility.
