Please refer to the blog posts below for more detailed information.
The tool has been feature in a number of blog entries as it has evolved...
- New Tool : Declarative Rollups for Lookups!
- New Release: Spring’14 Declarative Rollup Summary Tool
- New Release: Declarative Rollup Summary Tool Community Powered!
- Account Hierarchy Rollups #ClicksNotCode
There is also an early releaes video demonstration here...
- This tool uses SOQL Aggregate queries and is subject to platform limitations. This basically means...
- For each rollup, there is a maximum of 50,000 child relation records that can be summarised each time child record/s insert/update/delete operations are made (which may process several configured rollups). The rollup processes children to rollup by their parent record relationship and an optional further filter if provided. Meaning so long as this relationship does not result in more than 50,000 child records per parent parent record it will be successful. Take a look at the second blog post above which describes some new configuration settings to help calibrate the tool when running the Scheduled or Calculate jobs to help work within the 50,000 row limit.
- For performance reasons ensure the fields used are indexed (lookups are by default) and also any fields used in the filter criteria. This can be very important as without this, a full table scan will occur when the platform executes the SOQL and cause performance issues. For more information from Salesforce please see here and here.
- When using the Realtime mode, Formula fields as fields to aggregate are not supported (validation will be added in a future release to block this). To work around this, either switch to Scheduled mode or in Relatime mode use a Workflow Field Update to copy the formula field value to a physical field and reference that.
- While the tool can be installed and enabled directly in production, sandbox testing is still strongly recommended.
- Professional Edition is not supported, due to the Metadata API used by the tool not being available in this edition.
Please feel free to raise feedback and issues via the Github Issues page here.
You can install a packaged version of the tool into your production org (sandbox testing as always recommended). Check the limatations and known issues above first!

If you are a developer obtain the source code from this repository if you wish to develop it further and/or contribute to it. Click Deploy to Salesforce to deploy the source code to your developer org.
KNOWN INSTALL ISSUE Sometimes the Permission Set files will not deploy, based on org differences, such as features enabled. If you encounter this problem, Clone the repo manually and use your IDE or Ant script to deploy without the Permission Sets. I will be looking into fixing this issue in the future.
