INTRODUCING OUR ESSENTIAL GUIDES FOR BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION E-BOOKS
Business transformation is an ongoing journey that accelerated during the past year and has continued. As part of this change, businesses are undergoing rapid digital transformation to innovate and gain competitive advantage. Salesforce reports, “Today, 96% of global organizations have undertaken a digital transformation or are planning to in the coming months.”
“With digital transformation, companies are taking a step back and revisiting everything they do, from internal systems to customer interactions both online and in person. They’re asking big questions like ‘Can we change our processes in a way that will enable better decision-making, game-changing efficiencies, or a better customer experience with more personalization?’” explains the Salesforce report.

New Rollup Helper Use Case Deployment Saves Time with Prebuilt Rollups
Rollup Helper updates include a Use Case Deployment, which is available in version 16.8. Now you can easily access Use Case Deployment from the main tile page, check out approximately 25 use cases, and then select the ones you’d like to deploy.
The use case deployment functionality allows for prebuilt rollups to be deployed without having to go through the usual configuration steps. Here’s how it works:
- After selecting a use case, you’ll need to deploy a Custom Target Field, which will store the information of your rollup.
- Next, just click “Deploy Setting” to deploy the rollup.
- Then you can further customize the rollup based on your specific needs.
Click “Deploy” on any use case for easy, one-click deployment. Note: some rollups come with filters that can be customized.
About Rollup Helper
With Rollup Helper, you can super-charge your org with capabilities that normally require extensive coding. Rollup Helper overcomes common Salesforce rollup limitations like needing a Master-Detail relationship or the inability to include cross-object formula fields in rollup summary filters. Use Rollup Helper to build mission critical reports and trigger intelligent data-driven workflows.
Lookup Helper Adds Parent Filtering Functionality
New Parent Filtering functionality has been added to Lookup Helper (v9.20), which allows additional criteria to be created for a parent record. By default, Lookup Helper matches the value of the two selected fields for the setting, so Parent Filters allow you to add additional values the parent record needs to match.
- The parent record needs to match the criteria for Lookup Helper to use that parent record for that specific setting (e.g. Country = “US”)
- Settings will keep their parent filter with them when exported/imported
- Parent filtering cannot be used if “Create New Category Records” is enabled
For example (image below), a parent filter using Country = “US” would mean the child record will look for a parent record that matches the field and has a Country field set to “US.”
About Lookup Helper
Lookup Helper gives you better visibility and insights to your Salesforce data by automatically relating records. For standard and custom objects, it allows you to organize your data by geographic location, time-frame, industry, or any other data category.
Latest Prioritization Helper Release – Batch Run Schedules
The latest Prioritization Helper release v4.02 features new functionality for Value Scoring, which includes the ability to create batch run schedules. Performance and Usability Improvements for Value Scoring also include adding a setting modal that’s accessible from the main Value Scoring tab.
The image below shows how to configure scheduled recurring batch runs for an Apex Value Scoring entry.

When you have 100+ rollups across multiple objects in your org, having that group view makes my day just a little easier.”
