How to get a list of selected records into a button-function? Here is how!
So, you might know already how to get a button on a page somewhere and perform actions with a function when pressed, but how about a button that only works with the records you selected in the list view?
The button selected is a custom button in the modules section of in this example, Accounts. Create the button and choose "List View - Mass Action Menu".
Choose to create a new custom function and set the parameters to requestParams with value to Request -> Parameters. This is done by entering the # sign and then change from Accounts to Request in the dropdown box that appears.
Now you have a custom function that will pass info from your button and do something with it. Here is a code example of that:
- idList = requestParams.get("ids").toList(",");
- for each id in idList
- {
- count += 1;
- }
- return "You selected " + count + " records from " + requestParams.get("moduleDisplayName");
Now when you press the button you will see the popup appear with the return value of that function.
For those who will say "There is an error when there are no ids in the requestParam", don't worry, since the button will not appear when nothing is selected, the code works just fine and we don't need to declare count.

Zoho CRM Functions 53: Automatically name your Deals during lead conversion.
Welcome back everyone! Last week's function was about automatically updating the recent Event date in the Accounts module. This week, it's going to be about automatically giving a custom Deal name whenever a lead is converted. Business scenario Deals are the most important records in CRM.

Scenario: Automatically send the Quote to the related contact. We create Quotes for customers regularly and when we want to send the quote to the customer, we have to send it manually. We can automate this, using Custom Functions. Based on a criteria, you can trigger a workflow rule and the custom function associated to the rule and automatically send the quote to customer through an email. Please note that the quote will be sent as an inline email content and not as a PDF attachment. Please followFunction #50: Schedule Calls to records
Welcome back everyone! Last week's function was about changing ownership of multiple records concurrently. This week, it's going to be about scheduling calls for records in various modules.

Business scenario: In any form of business, one of the most important things to do is to document the transactions. Naturally, negotiation, signing an agreement, placing an order,Function-2: Round-Robin assignment of records
