## Filtering

The calendar gadget has the same set of [filters](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/297766816) as the [Calendar module](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/297930271) ([Quick filters](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/297046875), [Date range](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/296851062), [text and JQL search](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/298060889)).

> 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](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/297572829) of a Box, filters of gadgets based on that Box will be reset (gadget filters will be cleared).
