In Classic, we are very, very accustomed to sharing url links to specific reports or records, i.e. account, contact, opportunity, task records.
In Lightning, if I copy and share the url link (like I did in Classic), it doesn't work! When the user clicks on the link it doesn't open the specific report or record :(
Is this an issue for anyone else? I understand that Lightning is more secure, but are there any workarounds? How do you all direct a user to a specific report or record in Lightning?
Thanks!
Copying and sharing a Lightning URL to a specific report or record should direct the user to it, provided that they have access to the item. Is the user receiving any specific error message, or what opens for them instead of the expected record?
I have seen issues when users who are still exclusively in Classic only receive a Lightning link; in that case, they cannot open it because the Lightning Experience is not enabled for them yet (as described in the link below).
