In Many situation, I needed a Mass Delete Kind of button. Where, i can select records in ListView and simply click “Delete” button.<\/p>\n

In this example, we will create a simple List View button and add on “Search Layout” of that object.<\/p>\n

\"Salesforce<\/a>
Salesforce Mass Delete Button – List View<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, create a new Custom Button with following property:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Display Type<\/strong>\u00a0: \u00a0List Button<\/li>\n
  2. Behavior<\/strong>\u00a0: Execute JavaScript<\/li>\n
  3. Content Source<\/strong>\u00a0: \u00a0OnClick JavaScript<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    and use below Source code:<\/p>\n

    \r\n{!REQUIRESCRIPT("\/soap\/ajax\/21.0\/connection.js")}\r\n\r\n\/\/Below ObjectType can be replaced by anyObject. I have used "Test Name"\r\nvar records = {!GETRECORDIDS($ObjectType.Test_Name__c)};\r\n\r\nif (records[0] == null) {\r\n    alert("Please select at least one record.")\r\n} else {\r\n\r\n    var opt = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete selected records ?");\r\n    if (opt == true) {\r\n        var errors = [];\r\n        var result = sforce.connection.deleteIds(records);\r\n        if (result && result.length) {\r\n            var numFailed = 0;\r\n            var numSucceeded = 0;\r\n            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) {\r\n                        errors.push(es[0].message);\r\n                    }\r\n                    numFailed++;\r\n                }\r\n            }\r\n            if (numFailed > 0) {\r\n                alert("Failed: " + numFailed + "nSucceeded: " + numSucceeded + " n Due to: " + errors.join("n"));\r\n            } else {\r\n                alert("Number of records deleted: " + numSucceeded);\r\n            }\r\n        }\r\n        window.location.reload();\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
    In above code, we only need to change line number 4 for Object Type.
    \nOnce you are done with above button, add button in Search Layout’s List View as shown in below Image.<\/p>\n
