What type of filter must be added to a saved search sublist?

A saved search sublist in NetSuite is designed to display related records that fit certain criteria, and for it to function correctly, a specific type of filter is required to define those criteria. The correct choice of a list-record type filter is essential because it allows users to filter and display records based on the relationship between the main record and the related records that appear in the sublist.

This kind of filter supports various record types, enabling the saved search to tie various entities together effectively. For example, if you're working with a sales transaction record and you want to show related line items or customer records, you would utilize a list-record type filter to select the specific related records that should be displayed based on the criteria defined for the sublist.

Using a list-record type filter ensures that only the relevant associated records are shown for the main record in the sublist, providing clarity and relevance in the data being presented. This attribute makes it an essential component when creating effective sublists in saved searches. Other filter types like Boolean, Numeric, and Date filters serve different purposes, and while they can be impactful in various contexts within a saved search, they do not specifically cater to the relational aspect required in sublists.
