 About static filters

Static filters allow you to further filter the issues displayed by the gadgets based on the current rich filter. Once configured, rich filter controller gadgets can display static filters as buttons. When a static filter button is selected in a rich filter controller gadget, all the other gadgets in the same dashboard and, based on the same rich filter, apply the JQL of the static filter.
