What should be done after selecting the metric while creating a report?

After selecting the metric while creating a report in NetSuite, formatting the report is a crucial step that allows for better organization and presentation of data. Formatting can include adjusting the layout, changing fonts and colors, setting the alignment, or including headers and footers that make the report more readable and visually appealing.

Proper formatting ensures that the information presented in the report is easy to interpret and highlights the necessary data, which is vital for decision-making and analysis. It allows you to tailor the appearance of the report to fit the needs of the audience, whether for internal stakeholders or external clients.

The other options, while they may seem relevant, either come after formatting or are not essential at this specific point in the reporting process. For example, summarizing the report may happen after you have initially formatted it, while running the report or exporting the data typically occurs after ensuring that the report looks the way you want and contains the correct information. Therefore, focusing on formatting right after selecting the metric is key to creating a successful report.
