“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.”
SalesforceInspector can help view report metadata and field structures, but it doesn’t provide functionality to copy filters between incompatible report types because the incompatibility stems from fundamental differences in object relationships and field availability.
Inspector can identify these issues but not resolve them. Here’s a more effective solution that eliminates the compatibility problems that necessitate browser extensions in the first place.
Bypass report type limitations entirely
CoefficientSalesforceprovides a more effective solution than browser extensions like Salesforce Inspector by importing data directly fromobjects, bypassing report type limitations that cause incompatibility issues.
How to make it work
Step 1. Use visual filter recreation instead of metadata copying.
Instead of copying metadata that may be incompatible, rebuild your filtering logic using Coefficient’s intuitive interface that works with any Salesforce data structure. No browser extensions needed.
Step 2. Access any available Salesforce field.
Get field mapping flexibility that lets you access any available Salesforce field regardless of which report type would normally support it. This eliminates the compatibility restrictions that Inspector can only identify.
Step 3. Create cross-system consistency.
Build filtering logic that works consistently across different Salesforce objects without worrying about report type constraints. Your filters work the same way regardless of the underlying data structure.
Step 4. Focus on data exploration, not technical workarounds.
While Salesforce Inspector is useful for data exploration and debugging, this approach addresses the root problem by eliminating the need to work within Salesforce’s restrictive report type framework.
Solve the root problem, not the symptoms
