NSC | How to Calculate Record Count and display through Dashboard or Custom Field
In NetSuite, you may need to display the number of related records (e.g., number of transactions for a customer or number of child records). This can be achieved using a custom field with a saved search or summary logic.
This article explains common approaches to calculate and display record counts.
What is a Record Count Field?
A record count field displays the number of related records linked to a parent record.
Examples:
- Number of Sales Orders per Customer
- Number of Contacts per Customer
- Number of child records in a custom record
Approach 1: Using a Saved Search
This is the most common and flexible method.
