calculated field in analytics

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, calculated fields in analytics can be handled in several ways. 1. Workflows: Workflows can be used to calculate and populate fields based on data entered in another field. However, these calculations are not done in real-time and the fields are not populated until the record is saved. If you need real-time calculations, you might need to use a client script or a server trigger like 'After Submit' or 'Before Submit'. 2. Client Scripts: Client scripts can be used to perform calculations in real-time. However, they cannot perform calculations between fields using client triggers in workflows as the calculation engine runs on the NetSuite servers. 3. Saved Searches: Calculated fields can be included in saved searches. However, if the calculated field gets its result from a saved search, then it might not be possible to pull this figure through. This is a limitation in NetSuite. 4. SuiteScript or Workflow: If you need to store the calculated values, you might need to move those calculations to a SuiteScript or Workflow. This way, the fields can actually save those values. 5. Performance: If you have a large number of calculated fields (like 40), it might impact performance, especially if there is a search or other process other than the computation. However, if the calculation is simply addition or subtraction, then there might not be a significant impact on performance. Remember, you can also calculate the remaining governance using the syntax

runtime.getCurrentScript().getRemainingUsage()
