Maintaining Saved Searches that Include Edited Custom Fields

If there are saved searches in your account that reference custom fields and you change the custom field ID, the field is removed from the search. To maintain your search results, make a list of any searches that include the custom field before you edit the ID. Then, after you edit the ID, complete the following procedure to update the search.

To update a saved search that includes an edited custom field:

  1. Log out of NetSuite and log back in to clear the search cache.

  2. Locate and edit the affected searches to add the field with the new ID wherever the field with the old ID was used.

    For more information, see Editing or Deleting a Saved Search.

  3. If the field with the old ID was used as part of a custom formula field, you must also update the formula definition to reference the field with the new ID

    For more information, see Formulas in Search.

  4. Save the search.

  5. Run the search to verify the results.
