In Many situation, I needed a Mass Delete Kind of button. Where, i can select records in ListView and simply click “Delete” button.
In this example, we will create a simple List View button and add on “Search Layout” of that object.
So, create a new Custom Button with following property:
- Display Type : List Button
- Behavior : Execute JavaScript
- Content Source : OnClick JavaScript
and use below Source code:
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/21.0/connection.js")}
//Below ObjectType can be replaced by anyObject. I have used "Test Name"
var records = {!GETRECORDIDS($ObjectType.Test_Name__c)};
if (records[0] == null) {
alert("Please select at least one record.")
} else {
var opt = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete selected records ?");
if (opt == true) {
var errors = [];
var result = sforce.connection.deleteIds(records);
if (result && result.length) {
var numFailed = 0;
var numSucceeded = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < result.length; i++) { var res = result[i]; if (res && res.success == 'true') { numSucceeded++; } else { var es = res.getArray("errors"); if (es.length > 0) {
errors.push(es[0].message);
}
numFailed++;
}
}
if (numFailed > 0) {
alert("Failed: " + numFailed + "nSucceeded: " + numSucceeded + " n Due to: " + errors.join("n"));
} else {
alert("Number of records deleted: " + numSucceeded);
}
}
window.location.reload();
}
}
In above code, we only need to change line number 4 for Object Type.
Once you are done with above button, add button in Search Layout’s List View as shown in below Image.
Hi Jitendra,
This method will not work for the records more than 200. Because it will violate the governor limit of for loop. Do you have a solution of Mass Deletion for more than 200 records?
Did you tried ? DML is performed on line 13 and its not inside loop.
I tried to delete more than 200 rows from the list View
1. Salesforce will not allow us to select more than 200 rows
2. Script runs fine to delete all the 200 records.
Thanks for the Script, that solved my problem.
{!REQUIRESCRIPT(“/soap/ajax/37.0/connection.js”)}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT(“/soap/ajax/37.0/apex.js”)}
var accnt = new sforce.SObject(“Account”);
var recType=sforce.connection.query(“SELECT name, id FROM RecordType” );
//alert(recType);
var records = recType.getArray(“records”);
//alert(records);
accnt.Name='{!My_Leads__c.Company__c}’;
if(accnt.Name !=””)
{
accnt.RecordTypeId = records[0].Id;
//alert(records[0].Id);
accnt.Id = ‘{!Account.Id}’;
accnt.Name = prompt(”,'{!My_Leads__c.Company__c}’);
accnt.OwnerId='{!My_Leads__c.OwnerId}’;
var result = sforce.connection.create([accnt]);
if(result[0].getBoolean(“success”))
{
alert(‘Account created successfully’);
}
var cnt= new sforce.SObject(“Contact”);
cnt.Id = ‘{!Contact.Id}’;
cnt.OwnerId='{!My_Leads__c.OwnerId}’;
cnt.AccountId=result[0].id;
cnt.lastName = prompt(”,'{!My_Leads__c.Lead_Name__c}’);
var result = sforce.connection.create([cnt]);
if(result[0].getBoolean(“success”))
{
alert(‘contact created successfully’);
window.location.reload();
}
else{
alert(‘Error : ‘+result);
}
}
else
{
accnt.RecordTypeId=records[1].Id;
//alert(records[1].Id);
accnt.Id = ‘{!Account.Id}’;
accnt.LastName = prompt(”,'{!My_Leads__c.Lead_Name__c}’);
accnt.OwnerId='{!My_Leads__c.OwnerId}’;
var result = sforce.connection.create([accnt]);
if(result[0].getBoolean(“success”))
{
alert(‘Account created successfully’);
}
else
{
alert(‘Error : ‘+result);
}
}
After convert my lead object record.i need to delete this record automatically
Any one know how to achieve the same function in visualforce – so it’s lightning compatible?
