What must be included in a custom KPI definition for it to be graphed?

For a custom KPI definition to be graphed in NetSuite, it is essential to include at least one date filter defined in the available filters. This is because KPIs often rely on time-based data to provide meaningful insights. Having a date filter allows the KPI to be dynamically adjusted based on the selected time frame, helping users visualize and analyze trends over specific periods.

Incorporating a date filter enables the system to retrieve and display relevant data points for the chosen timeframe, making the KPI not just a static number but a dynamic visual element that can be adapted as users change the date range. Without at least one date filter, the KPI would not have the context needed to represent time-based performance, which is critical for effective analysis and decision-making within the system.

Other options, while relevant to KPI definitions, do not fulfill the specific requirement of enabling a KPI to be graphed. Including multiple criteria or summary types might enhance the KPI's complexity or utility, but without the key element of a date filter, the graphed representation would lack the time-based context that makes it useful.
