What do joined data sources in saved searches indicate?

Joined data sources in saved searches are indicated by three dots that signify additional field options available for selection. This visual cue helps users quickly identify which fields can be brought into the search from related tables or records, showcasing the ability to pull in data across different areas of the system. This is particularly useful in NetSuite, as it allows for more complex searches that can aggregate and analyze related data in a single report.

The presence of three dots usually suggests there are more options available for the selected item and helps users navigate through the available fields more efficiently. In contrast, fields that do not have this indication either belong to the primary data source for the search or do not have additional selectable fields linked to them.

This feature enhances the functionality of saved searches by allowing users to create richer datasets that incorporate relevant information across different record types.
