List Rollup Type
The List rollup type generates a list of all values from the selected fields across related records. This type of rollup performs collection of data into a single string where each value is typically separated by a delimiter , qualifier and record delimiter.
For example, In a Sales Order object with related Order Item records, you can use the List rollup type to compile multiple fields, such as 'Item Name' and 'Item Quantity,' into a single field on the Sales Order. After the rollup calculation, it will return concatenated details of each item in the selected destination field on the Sales Order object, using the specified delimiters.
Fields to Rollup: Item Name, Item Quantity
Delimiter: Hyphen (-
)
Qualifier: Brackets ([ ]
)
Record Delimiter: Semicolon (;
)
Sales Order 001:
Item Name: Item Quantity : "Laptop": 1
Item Name: Item Quantity : "Mouse": 2
Item Name - Item Quantity : "Keyboard" - 1
Result: [Laptop - 1]; [Mouse - 2]; [Keyboard - 1]
Configuration
When you select the rollup type as List, you will see the following configurations:
Attribute Name | Description |
---|---|
Source Fields | Specifies the fields from related records that will be included in the list. |
Destination | Defines the field on the parent object where the concatenated list will be stored. |
Delimiter | Specifies the character(s) used to separate concatenated values, within a record, in the resulting string. Note: Although, users are not restricted to what delimiter they can use, we recommend you these standard delimiters for better viewing and understanding of data. |
Qualifier | Defines the character(s) to be added before and/or after each concatenated value. Note: Although, users are not restricted to what qualifier they can use, we recommend you these standard qualifiers for better viewing and understanding of data. |
Record Delimiter | Defines the character(s) used to separate individual records in the resulting list. |
Order By | Specifies the order in which values should be concatenated (e.g., alphabetical, by date). |
