When you go to a link such as Lists → Relationships → Customers, you are looking at all your customer records. The settings for a List view are very similar to the results of a saved search. NetSuite gives you default list views for each record type. However, you can and should customize them to meet your own needs. Ideally, your primary list view of a record should show the fields on a record that are most widely used or most important, and should contain commonly used filters. You can create as many custom list views as you would like, and set preferred list views by role or audience, improving on the efficiency of each user's workflow.
Using a list view, you are able work similarly to a spreadsheet tool such as MS Excel - you can work with multiple records at a time, showing only the columns you want to see, and edit data in a table format, all while retaining the power of a relational database record structure.
First, look at your standard list view setting by navigating to Lists→ Relationships→ Customers
Note: In the example pictures we have renamed Customer to Customer/Donor |
In the View field on the top left, click the drop-down to see all your viewing options.
Create a new view by clicking on the Customize View button. We are now creating another viewing option for this same set of records.
Give it a recognizable name in the Search Title field.
Add/remove fields from the Results list until you are seeing the fields that are relevant to you most often.
In the example image, we have removed fields and added our custom fields for Donor, Volunteer, and Teaching Skills.
Add filter fields as needed in the Available Filters tab. These allow you to look at pertinent subsets of your data.
Check the + next to to the Filters header to display your filtering options.
Click on the Edit icon to edit records inline in your list.
