Custom Segments Overview
The Custom Segments feature lets you create custom classification fields similar to class and department. You can create as many custom segments as you need, set possible values for each one, and add them to specific record types. People using in NetSuite can then use the segments to classify records as needed.
You can configure segments to display on the GL Impact page. Also, you can customize standard NetSuite reports to use custom segments as filters and columns. In financial reports, you can add custom segments as a horizontal dimension. Custom segments help you categorize data and meet your unique reporting needs.
To enable custom segments, go to Setup > Company > Enable Features. On the SuiteCloud subtab, check the Custom Segments box, and then click Save.
To create a custom segment record, see Creating a Custom Segment.
