“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Financial Reports Row Layout data goes missing from NetSuite saved search results because this configuration information isn’t exposed as searchable record types that saved searches can access.
Here’s why saved searches fail for this data and how to use diagnostic methods and alternative access approaches to get the complete information you need.
Saved searches can’t access system configuration tables
NetSuite saved searches are designed for transactional and master record data, not system configuration metadata. Row Layout Assignments live in protected system tables that saved searches simply can’t reach, regardless of your permissions or search configuration.
The specific limitations include:
- Record type restrictions: Row layouts aren’t exposed as searchable record types
- Join limitations: Cannot join from transactions to report configurations
- Field availability: Row layout fields don’t appear in saved search field lists
Use diagnostic queries to verify and access data
Coefficient provides both diagnostic capabilities and direct data access to resolve missing row layout data issues with NetSuite .
How to make it work
Step 1. Run diagnostic queries to verify data existence.
Connect Coefficient to your NetSuite instance and use this SuiteQL query to check if row layout data exists:
Step 2. Test direct table access.
Verify you can access the configuration tables directly with this test query:
Step 3. Build your complete data extraction query.
Once you’ve confirmed data availability, use this comprehensive query to extract all row layout information:
Step 4. Set up permanent data access.
Replace your failed saved searches with Coefficient imports that provide reliable, scheduled access to row layout data. Set up automated refreshes to keep your data current.
Step 5. Create standardized reporting.
Build Excel or Google Sheets dashboards that automatically update with fresh row layout data, eliminating the frustration of missing saved search results.
