Lightning’s filter performance suffers from browser-based processing delays and server roundtrips that slow down every filter interaction. Each filter change triggers multiple system calls that create noticeable lag in the interface.

Here’s how to achieve superior filter performance that processes instantly without any UI delays or processing bottlenecks.

Superior filter performance through external processing using Coefficient

CoefficientWhile native Lightning optimization requires complex workarounds and still suffers from inherent limitations,provides superior filter performance through its external processing architecture. All filtering happens at the API level during data import, eliminating the browser-based bottlenecks that plague Lightning.

How to make it work

Step 1. Connect to your Salesforce or Salesforce data through the optimized interface.

Set up the connection to access your Salesforce data through direct API calls. This eliminates the JavaScript processing delays and server roundtrips that slow down Lightning’s filter interactions.

Step 2. Apply comprehensive filtering with instant processing.

Add filters on Number, Text, Date, Boolean, and Picklist fields using AND/OR logic. The system processes all filter criteria during data import, providing instant results without the UI delays experienced in Lightning.

Step 3. Set up dynamic filters for maximum performance.

Configure filters that point to spreadsheet cell values. This approach delivers additional performance benefits since you modify filter criteria by updating cell values rather than navigating through Lightning’s slow filter menus.

Step 4. Use Custom SOQL queries for complex filtering scenarios.

For advanced filter logic that would be extremely slow or impossible in Lightning’s interface, write custom queries that bypass Lightning’s filter limitations entirely. These queries process faster than Lightning’s interface can even load.

Step 5. Schedule automatic updates to maintain performance.

Set up scheduled refreshes so your filtered data updates automatically without requiring any interaction with Lightning’s performance-limited interface. Choose from multiple scheduling options to keep data current.
