How To Add Mass Custom Fields As “Columns” In Multiple List Views
1. Let’s ask few questions to ourselves about Salesforce Standard List Views:
1. Can we add multiple custom fields as “Columns” in multiple List Views in
single click?
2. Can we update fields of multiple list views at the same time?
3. Can we remove multiple fields from multiple list views in single click?
Answer is BIG NO. Salesforce standard list view doesn’t provide these bulk features. In
case, if an admin has to perform these actions, then admin would have to open each and
every List View one by one and perform the required action.
These type of work requests would take much more effort and time, but with our
Salesforce AppExchange application Bulk Object Field Creator (BOFC), admin can
update multiple List Views in few clicks.
Benefits of using BOFC Application to Add Custom Fields to List View:
1. Supports the update of multiple list views in single click
2. Support mass addition of custom fields in multiple list views
3. Supports list view update for both standard and custom objects
4. Supports list view update for multiple objects at the same time
5. Simple Point & Click UI only.
