Works well!
Installs quickly and works well.
Great Time Saver
Installed this for our Customer Care Manager & Supervisor as using the 'Mass Delete Cases' function in Setup was not the easiest way to remove the spam cases etc. They love this new button and it's improving accuracy as fewer genuine cases are being deleted accidentally.
Awesome Bulk Delete Button
Out of the box install package works for standard objects only. If you want to use this button for a custom object, follow https://blog.cloudanalogy.com/salesforce-lightning-how-to-mass-delete-records-from-list-view/ @Paul McAuliffe posted in the comment below.
It's pretty straight forward, I followed the instructions from the cloudanalogy blog. You just need to replace the standardController name with your sobject name in the first line from your cloned vf page. <apex:page extensions="MassDeleteExtension" standardController="Your_Custom_Object__c" recordSetVar="sobjects" standardStylesheets="false" sidebar="false" applyBodyTag="false" docType="html-5.0"> Then, create a List Button as the following - Display Type: List Button - Display Checkboxes (for Multi-Record Selection) - Content Source: Visualforce Page - Content: Your_Cloned_Visualforce_Page (this should be automatically selected) The vf page custom button should be listed under List View Button Layout and Search Layouts of the custom object.
Does what it sais
Simple tool that helped us to easily mass delete a couple of test case records in one of our sandboxes. Works without any issues noticed.
Easy to configure, use, and works as expected
We installed this for a POC for mass deleting Cases from a list view. It did the trick! And configuration was easy. I'm a little surprised this isn't a standard feature. Until then, give this a go!
Records are hard deleted from Salesforce and do not go to Recycle Bin
The app is very helpful to mass delete the records by selecting the checkboxes against the records that need to be deleted. This functionality can also be extended to custom objects. The only concern I have is that it performed a hard-delete action on the records and the records were completely purged from the system without going to the recycle bin.
Folks, I've just finished implementing the mass delete feature for custom objects. I adapted an existing Visualforce (VF) page to make it compatible with custom objects, and it worked! I conducted tests by deleting a record with this new button for custom objects, and it also sends the deleted record to the trash. I followed the explanation provided in the comment. https://blog.cloudanalogy.com/salesforce-lightning-how-to-mass-delete-records-from-list-view/
Did not work well for our Prod environment
The package seems well built and worked fine in sandbox testing. Once we got it to Production, we had time-out errors trying to use it on Cases and Contacts. I'm thinking it's an issue related to our data structure and large holding accounts, but you may want to do some extra testing in Production before rolling it out to any additional users.
Does the action just dismount seems a little off
Gives the ability to delete the cases but then throws an error at the end saying "The page no longer exists. Try reloading it. If the problem persists, contact Salesforce support." Which just makes the user journey abit naff...If any one knows how to fix let me know please Other than that its great
No button for opportunities after SF update
So on the Opportunities object the Search Layout for SF Classic is now "List View Button Layout". I can add the button to this layout but it doesn't appear for me to add it to the page. It would appear SF broke this particular feature with the latest upgrade.....The button still works on my custom objects but not Opportunities.
Really like this product
I'm a big fan of giving staff the access they need. Our staff can see leads and cases that were created via a web-bot and delete them themselves on a daily basis now. By way of learning, I installed in Production as sys admin only, which was a goof, but that does allow the sys admin to grant access to the VF page by Profile if they would prefer to do that. I saw questions about that in earlier review.
When trying to install getting error saying this package can't be installed - Package Not Found. Trying to install in sandbox and tried multiple times.
