Default Filter Values
The menu located in the bottom right corner provides the option to either clear the filter selections or reset them to their default values. Users allowed to edit the Quick Controller can save their current filter selections as the default values.
Known Limitations
Gadgets show inconsistent results
When filtering a user field with multiple usernames, a limitation within Jira can cause errors that cause the gadgets to return incorrect results.
To avoid this, you can replace all Account Names in your filters with the corresponding Account ID. This is possible by typing the name in the JQL filter and then selecting the name from the list.
