Alternatives to Reports

In addition to reports, NetSuite provides other analytic tools that may fit your requirements.

• Saved Searches are queries of NetSuite data that allow advanced data filtering and sorting options. Saved searches support more complex data manipulations than reports and the ability to send email alerts, but do not provide the same level of presentation formatting. See Saved Searches.

• SuiteAnalytics Connect provides views of NetSuite data tables that are available to external reporting tools like Microsoft® Excel and Crystal Reports® through an ODBC, JDBC, or ADO.NET driver. You need the SuiteAnalytics Connect feature to use these views, and they include a subset of NetSuite tables. See SuiteAnalytics Connect.

• Report Snapshots display a high-level summary of selected reports' results and links underlying reports' detailed data. Both prebuilt and custom snapshots are available. See Report Snapshots.

• Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs, synthesize your raw data into critical business metrics that you can see right on your dashboard in the formats you choose. Some KPIs are prebuilt from standard reports, and you can create custom KPIs from saved searches. See Key Performance Indicators.

• Workforce Analytics provides tools to measure and analyze company headcount, hiring, and turnover trends. Data is compiled and converted into rich human resource metrics that are available on the Headcount Analysis and Turnover Analysis pages. You need the Workforce Analytics feature to access these pages. See Workforce Analytics.
