Added Targeted Rollup Functionality

Written by Christine Dunbeck | Mar 11, 2019

Rollup Helper has added parent filter functionality! You can now choose which records your manual and scheduled rollup runs will process for. This targeted rollup functionality is applicable in endless scenarios.

Problem

As an ever-expanding company involved in multiple industries, rolling up data daily becomes extremely time-consuming and eventually unfeasible.

Solution

With Rollup Helper’s new parent filter functionality, you can now target your rollups to include only the information you’re interested in, such as one of the industries instead of all. This speeds up the process significantly. This new functionality can be used on any rollup, but for example you could create this rollup on Previous Year to Date Won Opportunity Total, and then use the new parent filter as shown below:

  • Create New Parent Filter

    • Deleted = false (default)

    • Industry = (choose desired value(s))

    • Name:  Account Industry

    • Limit and Sort Order do not apply to parent filters

    • Specify Filter Criteria
