What is a Trend graph used for?

A Trend graph is specifically designed to provide visual presentations of key metrics over time. It allows users to visualize data trends, making it easier to identify patterns, analyze performance, and make informed decisions based on the fluctuation of various metrics over a specific time frame. This graphical representation is essential for businesses to monitor progress, forecast future performance, and adjust strategies accordingly.

This type of graph is particularly useful for tracking overall performance metrics instead of individual transactions, which is more suited to other reporting tools. While customizing dashboards is an aspect of NetSuite that allows users to tailor their views according to personal preferences, it doesn't relate directly to the specific function of a Trend graph. Similarly, exporting data to external sources is a different capability altogether and does not pertain to the graph's primary purpose of visualizing trends over time.
