APPENDIX
ADAPTER LIMITATIONS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
Support for Internet Explorer 11 is not provided for the Salesforce Lightning Platform
The Phone field is not visible by default on the Call Log records as it was in Classic Salesforce may have a way to change this, but it is not clear or obvious how to do so in Lightning.
The Call Log activity does not appear in the Feed section of Case records, but it does appear if you click Related and scroll to the Activity History. This affects Lightning but not Classic.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Opening the Phone table only displays bouncing blue dots or a rotating loading symbol?
On occasion, Salesforce may fail to load/redirect the CTI Adapter URL. This usually will be caused by network issues, or there’s a DNS problem.The HTML text, images, and layout is garbled?
If this is the case, just wait a few minutes and try refreshing again. The user may also need to do a hard refresh to clear the local cache.
