[SalesForce] Adding a Delete (or Mass Delete) button to Lead List View

I'm new around here, and have been tasked with doing some configuration on our new SF Lightning deployment prior to rolling it out to our other users.

I have a few questions the need answers, but this is hopefully an easy on to get started with.

From the Leads List view (Table), how can I Delete (or preferably mass delete by selecting more than one item), via a button in the top section?

I went to Setup > Object Mgr > Lead > Search Layout > List View but Delete / MassDelete is not an option in the Standard buttons.

Can someone please help me figure this out?

"Accept" only appears on list views that filter by a specific Queue, and only for those users that would be able to accept the lead. Notably, this means that Recently Viewed, etc won't have this button. The related Knowledge Article states:

By design, The Accept button is present only when a List consists of records that are still in queue and not assigned to any specific owner.

Also. if the List View has mix of Leads assigned and Leads in queue the Accept button will still not be available.

Note: This works similarly to the Cases List View where the Accept button is available only when the List View consist of records that are still in queue.

You might need to use the drop down to see the Accept button:

"Mass Delete" is not a standard feature in Salesforce. You would need to write a custom list action. Here's one that I found just with a quick search on the Internet (not my blog/post/code). You can find others out there too, lots of people have done this.

[SalesForce] mass action button for a checkbox field

Instead of <apex:selectList> try <apex:selectCheckBoxes>.

The value for a selectCheckboxes needs to be a list<string> (just like if you had a multi-select selectList).

Example:

list<string> selected {get;set;}

[SalesForce] How to send Mass Email from List View in Contact Or Lead using custom button

Assuming you have this button on a related list/list view, you can use the {!GETRECORDIDS} javascript function to get the list/array of id of the selected records. You can then send this array to your apex class and then query the email field to get the email. YOu can do something like this:

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/28.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/28.0/apex.js")}
var recordIdArray = {!GETRECORDIDS($ObjectType.Contact)};
console.log('the record Ids are' + recordIdArray);
var retStr = sforce.apex.execute("outbound_Emails", "SendEmailNotification",{conId: recordIdArray});

global class outbound_Emails{
        webservice static void SendEmailNotification (list<id> conId){
            list<contact> conList = [SELECT name,email FROM contact WHERE id IN : conId];
            system.debug('the selected contacts are  ' + conList);
            //you can iterate over this list to get the email and send the mail
        }
}
