Use Jira Filter Results Gadgets
Add a Filter Results gadget to a dashboard when reviewers need a short actionable issue list. The saved filter supplies scope; the gadget supplies a presentation and column selection.
Step-by-step guide
Check access and scope
You need dashboard editing access and a saved filter the intended audience can use. Private issues remain subject to their own permissions.
Verify the saved filter
Create or verify the saved issue filter.
Add the results gadget
Open the dashboard and add a Filter Results gadget. Use Add and customize gadgets on the dashboard, then configure the saved filter in the Filter Results gadget.
- Worked example: A release dashboard can list unresolved high-priority bugs with key, summary, assignee and target version. Keep a direct link to the complete search when the gadget displays only a subset.
Choose actionable columns
Select the filter and choose a limited useful column set.
Set a clear display limit
Set a result count that keeps required actions visible.
Compare recipient results
Compare the gadget with the underlying filter as a recipient.
Verify the result
The gadget shows expected issues with useful ownership information and the recipient can open the full filter.
Common mistakes
Avoid the main failure mode
A short result list can conceal additional matches beyond the display limit. Make the full search available before claiming the list is exhaustive.
Check the handoff edge case
Removing the owner column makes a risk list harder to act on. Include fields that support the intended follow-up.
