Rollups
Aggregated fields that summarize a related set of records — counts, totals, or lists — onto a parent account.
With rollups, you can aggregate values from related records — like issues, contacts, opportunities, tasks, projects, and custom objects — up onto a parent account or object. A rollup is a custom field whose value is calculated from a set of child records that match a filter you define.
Rollups can be any data type compatible with the chosen calculation, and are usable across the product anywhere custom fields are, including in views, triggers, the API, etc.
Configuration
Each rollup is defined by:
Object — the related record type to roll up (issues, contacts, opportunities, tasks, projects, or a custom object).
Relationship — which relationship on the parent to follow to find the related records.
Field (optional) — the field on the related record to summarize. Required for
Sum,Average,Median,Min,Max,Range, and used byShow originalto surface a specific value rather than the related record itself.Filter — which related records to include (e.g. only issues created in the last 30 days, only opportunities in stage "Closed Won").
Calculate — how to combine the matching records.
Sort by + Limit — for
Show original, order the matching records by any field (ascending or descending) and cap the result to the top N.
Limit is capped at 100. If you don't set one, it defaults to 100.
The available calculations are:
Calculate
What it returns
Count
Number of matching records.
Sum
Sum of a numeric field across matching records.
Average
Average of a numeric field.
Median
Median of a numeric field.
Min / Max
Smallest / largest value of a number or date field.
Range
Max − min of a number or date field (returns a duration when applied to dates).
Show original
The list of matching records, or the list of their field values if a field is selected. Useful for chip-style displays of related records. Combine with sort + limit (e.g. limit 1) to surface a single record ordered by the field of your choice.
Single-value rollups
Show original with limit 1 is a single-value rollup, not a one-element list. The result is stored and rendered as a scalar — typed by the underlying field — so it can be used downstream in Formulas, sort, and filters the same way any other typed field would be. Pick this when you want "the top X by some field" rather than "a list of one X".
Example: Number of Open Issues
A count of issues on the account that are still unresolved, filtered to status != closed.

Example: Total ARR Across Opportunities
Sum the Amount field across all opportunities in stage "Closed Won" to get total booked ARR for the account.

Example: Latest Open Opportunity
A Show original rollup over opportunities filtered to open stages, sorted by Created at descending, limit 1 — surfaces the most recent active opportunity inline on the account.

Example: Latest Issue Resolution Date
The most recent date any issue on the account was resolved.

Example: Time Span of Opportunities
How spread out opportunity creation is across the account, returned as a duration.

Example: Most Recent Contact's Email
The email of the most recently added contact on the account.

Other examples of rollups:
Count of open tasks on the account
Sum of seats across child contracts (custom object) to get total contracted seats
List of the 5 most recent opportunities (
Show original, sorted byCreated atdescending, limit 5)Earliest task due date across open tasks (
MinonDue date, filtered to open status)The most recent task's title (
Show originalwithTitlefield, sorted byCreated atdescending, limit 1)
Filters and sorting
Filters and sort behave the same way they do on standard views — any filter you can apply to issues, opportunities, etc. is available as a rollup filter. Sort + limit lets you scope Show original rollups to the N most recent (or oldest) matching records.
Permissions
Rollup permissions depend on the calculation type:
Aggregations are computed across all matching records. The viewer's access doesn't affect the result — two users with different permissions will see the same number.
Show originalrespects viewer access. Records the viewer can't read are hidden from the rendered column, so the rollup never surfaces data the user wouldn't otherwise see.
