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

### Filters activated per user

Each user can activate a different set of filters. 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 Calendar gadgets to your Dashboard and change scope/filters separately for each of them.

### Scope definition change = filter reset

When you change the scope definition of a Box, filters of gadgets based on that Box will be reset (gadget filters will be cleared).
