Filter Report Types by Objects or Fields in Enterprise and Performance Editions

Ensure the Lightning reports that you create contain the data you need without trial and error. Enterprise and Performance Edition users can now quickly find all the report types that include specific Salesforce objects or fields. For example, if you’re building a report that needs to include the Age field on the Case object and the SLA field on the Account object, add those fields to the report type filter to see report types that include those fields. You can filter report types by up to 20 objects or fields. You can’t filter by fields included in a lookup or part of a composite field, such as geolocation or address. Previously, this feature was available only in Unlimited Edition.

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise and Performance editions.

How: In the Create Report window, click Filter report types, and select either Salesforce objects or fields to search.

Easily Update Fields in Lightning Report Filters

Save time when updating filters in response to changing reporting needs. You can now change the field in a Lightning report filter without deleting the filter and adding a new one. For example, you can change a filter on Industry to a filter on Type in a report on accounts without having to remove and recreate the filter and filter logic. In earlier releases, you could change the operator and value but not the field. Previously, this feature was available only in Salesforce Classic.

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in Group, Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.

How: In the Filter By window, change the field, operator, or value.

Focus Your View with More Dashboard Filters in All Salesforce Editions

Users in all Salesforce editions can now refine and target dashboard data with up to five filters on Lightning dashboards. With more filters, you can reuse the same dashboard for different teams while preserving the filters that are already set up. Save time and effort and reduce dashboard redundancy by eliminating the need to clone dashboards for different teams and business units.

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in Group, Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, and Developer editions.

How: For example, previously, if you filtered on Stage, Opportunity Owner, and Type, you couldn’t add a Region filter to reuse the dashboard for all your teams. Now you can include the Region filter and even have room for a Created Date filter.

Guide users through their data with section titles, narrative text, and even animated GIFs. Lightning dashboard components are now called widgets in all editions. Dashboards now support up to 25 widgets, including a maximum of 20 charts and tables, 3 images, and 25 rich text widgets. The former limit was 20 in total. Previously, this feature was available only in Unlimited Edition and Performance editions.

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in Group, Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, and Developer editions.
