What are the criteria used in a saved search?

The criteria used in a saved search primarily consist of data filters set by the creator of the search. These filters allow the user to specify which records to include in the search results based on certain conditions. For instance, a user might set filters based on specific fields, such as date ranges, field values, or statuses that determine which records will be displayed. This ability to customize the search criteria is what makes saved searches a powerful tool for extracting meaningful data from the system, tailored to the user's specific needs.

While field and function combinations contribute to the functionality of the saved search, they do not directly represent the criteria for filtering records. Default values of various fields and unique entries in the database do not pertain to the customizable aspect of setting criteria for retrieving specific data sets in saved searches. Each of these aspects plays a role in the overall framework of NetSuite, but it is the provided filters that are foundational for defining the searches executed within the platform.
