Retrieve Data: Filtering Records by Fields with No Value

ExtendInsights Data Management | How to retrieve records where a field is blank or null

Updated this week

Yes—you can filter NetSuite records in ExtendInsights based on fields that have no value (null or blank).

This is useful when you want to identify incomplete records, such as transactions missing a location, department, or other required or expected fields.


How to Filter for Fields with No Value

When creating a Data Filter (rule) in ExtendInsights, you can explicitly filter for empty values by using a special keyword.

Use This Value

[[@NONE@]]

This tells ExtendInsights to retrieve records where the selected field is null or blank in NetSuite.


Step-by-Step Example

Example Use Case

Retrieve Vendor Bills where the Location field is empty.

  1. Start Search and Download (with or without an existing template).

  2. Turn on Apply Filters and choose Using Rules.

  3. Add a filter rule:

    • Field: Location

    • Value: [[@NONE@]]
      (Do not select a value from the dropdown.)

  4. Click Save.

  5. Click Download Data.

Records pulled are those vendors bills with null or blank Location at the header.


Common Use Cases

  • Find transactions missing required fields

  • Identify records that need cleanup

  • Prepare targeted updates using ExtendInsights templates
