What is the default "from" address if not manually set in the search preferences?

The default "from" address in NetSuite, when not manually set in the search preferences, is the user who created the search. This means that any email notifications or reports generated from the search will come from this user's email address, ensuring that recipients can easily respond to or contact the person responsible for initiating the search. This feature enhances accountability and communication, as it directly links the search output to the creator. It reflects best practices in email communication, where emails should come from a recognized sender instead of an impersonal or automated email address.

This choice helps maintain a clear line of communication and ensures that recipients know whom to reach out to if they have questions regarding the search results. When users see an email from a specific individual, it fosters better engagement and follow-up than if the email were sent from a generic or placeholder address.
