“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Lightning’s report builder freezing during filter modifications can completely halt your workflow. The browser locks up, you lose your changes, and you’re back to square one trying to build the same report.
Here’s how to modify filter criteria without any freezing issues and maintain full control over your reporting process.
Bypass Lightning’s freezing interface using Coefficient
CoefficientThe freezing happens because Lightning’s JavaScript framework struggles with complex filter processing in the browser.eliminates this problem by handling all filter modifications through direct API calls, completely avoiding the problematic Lightning interface.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import your existing frozen report immediately.
Use Coefficient’s “From Existing Report” feature to pull in any report that’s currently freezing in Lightning. This gives you instant access to your data while bypassing the frozen interface completely.
Step 2. Connect to your Salesforce or Salesforce data through the streamlined interface.
For new reports, select “From Objects & Fields” to build reports from scratch. The interface loads instantly and never freezes during filter modifications.
Step 3. Apply complex filter logic without browser issues.
Add filters on Number, Text, Date, Boolean, and Picklist fields using AND/OR logic. All processing happens via API calls, so there’s no risk of browser freezing regardless of filter complexity.
Step 4. Use dynamic filters for flexible modifications.
Set up filters that point to spreadsheet cell values. Change filter criteria by updating cell values instead of navigating through potentially frozen UI elements. This approach is both faster and more reliable.
Step 5. Save and schedule your reports for automatic updates.
Once your filters are configured, schedule automatic refreshes. Your reports update on schedule without requiring any interaction with Lightning’s freeze-prone interface.
