Highlighting and communicating the risk on the Jira dashboard or Confluence can increase risk awareness. **The Risks gadget mirrors your Box Risks module.** The number of gadgets you can add to your dashboard is unlimited.

### Data source

Select the Box to serve as the data source for the gadget. The list of Boxes will only include the ones you have access to – your security role needs to be set to the Box viewer at the minimum.

## Filtering

> ℹ️ Filtering in a gadget is independent of filtering in the module view (you can activate a different set of filters in a gadget and in a module).

The risk gadget has the same set of filters as the Risk module (Quick filters, Date range, text, and JQL search).

### Filters activated per user

Each user can activate a different set of filters in the gadget. It won't affect what other users see. Each user has their own view. 

### Multiple gadgets with different filters

Filters are set separately for each gadget. You can add multiple Risks gadgets to your Dashboard and change scope/filters separately for each of them.
