Advance Maximum

The Advanced Maximum feature allows you to add additional mappings to the Maximum rollup type while calculating the maximum value from related records. This provides more clarity and context to the result by including additional fields that help to better understand the result in relation to other data.

For example, Consider an Account object with related Contact records. When calculating the maximum age among all contacts, you can use the Advanced Maximum feature to include additional fields in the rollup result.

  • Field to Rollup: Age (to find the maximum)

  • Additional Mappings: Contact Name

    • Configuration:

      • Source: Contact Name

      • Destination: Contact Details

  • Result:

    • Account: Acme Corp

      • Maximum Age: 45

      • Contact Details: "John Doe "

In this example, the Advanced Maximum feature provides the maximum age among all contacts and includes the name of the contact for that record. This added context helps in better understanding and verifying the result.
