    Issue

    When creating an analytics report with a filter set to 9,999 values, the report frequently times out. This occurs because the values are combined using the 'OR' Boolean operator, which significantly slows down report generation when handling a large number of values.

    Solution

    1. Use the "Begins With" Filter Option

     

    Modify the filter by utilizing the "begins with" option and specify the smallest value in your set. This adjustment allows the report to process the filter more efficiently, resulting in much faster report generation.

     

    2. Create a Separate Report for Value Retrieval

     

    If the values share a common characteristic, create a separate report to retrieve all these values. Use the results from this additional report to filter your main analytics report. This method is efficient and helps streamline your analytics process.
