Let's ask few questions to ourself 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 Remove Custom Fields to List View:
- Supports the update of multiple list views in single click
- Support mass removal of custom fields in multiple list views
- Supports list view update for both standard and custom objects
- Supports list view update for multiple objects at the same time
- Simple Point & Click UI only.
Few Simple Steps to remove multiple Custom fields in List View
1. Open the BOFC Home > Click "Add / Remove from List Views"
2. It will open below screen to manage list views. Select the type of operation as "remove" option in radio button.
3. Select single or multiple objects. Once ready, click "Fetch List View(s)" button to initiate the process to fetch all the existing list views of selected objects.
4. Select the single or multiple multiple ListViews and Custom Fields which needs to be added to the selected ListViews. Once ready, click on "Add Fields to List Views" button to initiate the process.
5. Once the "Remove Fields to ListView(s)" buttons is clicked, it will update the status against each selected listviews
Green means - ListView Updated Successfully
Red means - ListView got error out because of some reason.
