Recalculations
- Content Writers
The Recalculate functionality enables users to perform a rollup operation on legacy data. This operation updates all existing records with the latest rollup results and displays the updated values in the selected destination field.
Reference: What is destination field?
Users can apply custom filters to determine which records are included in the recalculation operation. Upon completion of the recalculation process, users will receive an email alert containing a detailed report. This report will include the total number of records processed, the number successfully updated, and the number that failed.
Refer to the below email template for the details.
