Step-by-Step Guide to Create Rollup Summary Field in Salesforce

Step 1: Select Parent Object and Field

• Choose the parent object and field for the rollup. If needed, create a new field on the parent object.
• In the ‘Select Parent Field’ section, there are two sections available: the ‘Available Parent Fields’ section for selection as rollup fields, and the ‘Already Used Fields’ section, which is disabled by default. If no parent fields are available, an option will be displayed stating, ‘No parent fields found. Kindly proceed to create them.

Step 3: Choose Aggregate Function and Child Field

Step 4: Set Child and Parent Filters

Step 5: Validate Query

• Validate the query for accuracy.  (Note : The “Validate Query” button will be enabled only when all filter parameters are filled. If you choose not to apply any filters, you can proceed.)

• If filter records are not validated, the save button will be disabled.

Step 6: Activate Roll Up and Save

• Rollups are “Activated” by default, but you can choose to deactivate them if needed and save your settings.
• The “Save” Button will only become enabled when both child and parent filter conditions are validated with no errors.
• Hover over a dropdown option to view its API name. After saving, the RollUp field will be listed in the RollUps tab’s data table for easy access.
