What are some attributes of a custom report?

Custom reports in NetSuite are designed to provide specific insights based on the data entered into the system. One of the key attributes of a custom report is that it enables point-in-time analysis. This means users can generate reports that reflect data as it was at a specific moment, which is vital for making informed decisions based on historical data trends. For instance, if a company wants to assess financial performance at the end of a fiscal quarter, a custom report tailored for that time frame will provide the exact picture needed for analysis.

In contrast to this, attributes like availability for Web Query, recurring use, and highlighting critical data also have their places in NetSuite but do not solely define what a custom report offers. For example, while some reports may be available for Web Query and can highlight critical data, these attributes are additional functionalities rather than core elements of what a custom report is primarily structured to achieve.
