Creating Custom Fields with Values Derived from Summary Search Results

You can create a custom field that can display values derived from summary saved search results. Each summary search field displays a rollup value for a selected search results field. The value is dynamically calculated each time a form containing the summary search field is displayed. For example, you can use a summary search field to display the total quantity of all line items on a transaction. The summary search field provides an alternative to using SuiteScript to calculate the values of a custom field.

Note:

Note the following

• The rollup functionality is similar to that of custom sublists, except the search results display in a field rather than a sublist.

• To ensure a smoother checkout process for your customers, avoid adding too many values to custom fields.
