About the Rich Filter Controller gadget
The The Rich Filter Controller gadget gadget controls what the other rich filter gadgets display (on the same dashboard and based on the same rich filter as the controller). The controller does not display any issue data; it only displays only shows the quick filters that have been defined in the rich filter.TODO: add picture here
...
The quick filters can be reordered and organized in sections. Additionally, the Rich Filter Controller allows the users to export the dashboard content to PDF or Excel files – for more details, see the Exporting data documentation page.

Quick Filters & sections | Once you have selected a rich filter for your gadget, you can customize which quick filters you want to display in your controller. By default, controllers show all available quick filters. You can use the radio buttons to change this and display only JQL filtering, or you can choose to customize in detail which quick filters to show and in what order using the last option. If you choose the Customize shown filters option, the configuration form will change to display the list of quick filters. You can add, remove, or reorder (drag and drop the vertical “grid” icon) the quick filters to be displayed.  You can also organize your quick filters in named sections.  Besides the individual quick filters, the custom list menu contains three “group” options: All Static, All Dynamic, and All Smart. If these options are used, the gadget will display all the quick filters of the specified type in their place except those that are explicitly included. For example, you can use this to show the Labels dynamic filter first, then all static filters, and then all dynamic filters other than Labels, if any.  |

The user can select a filtering mode alongside the values for the dynamic filters that display dropdowns (e.g., Assignee, Components, Status, Labels). The filtering modes correspond to the logical operators used to combine the selected values when generating the JQL filtering condition:
OR: this is the default filtering mode – when multiple values are selected in a dynamic filter, they are combined with OR, which means that the filter returns the issues that match any (at least one) of the selected values:
The JQL generated for the example above is "component in (Admin, Architecture)," which is functionally equivalent to "component = Admin OR component = Architecture."AND: this filtering mode is available for fields that can have several values simultaneously (e.g., Labels, multiple selection fields) – when multiple values are selected in a dynamic filter, they are combined with AND, which means that the filter returns the issues that match all the selected values simultaneously:
The JQL generated for the example above is "component = Admin AND component = Architecture".NOT: available for all fields – the selected values are negated and combined with AND, which means that the filter returns the issues that don't match any of the selected values:
The JQL generated for the example above is "component not in (Admin, Architecture) OR component is EMPTY," which is functionally equivalent to "(component != Admin AND component != Architecture) OR component is EMPTY."
| Info |
|---|
The AND filtering mode is available only for fields with several values simultaneously (e.g., Labels, multiple selection fields). For instance, users can search for issues with components A and B simultaneously. Still, searching for issues with priority High and Low simultaneously doesn't make sense because the priority field can have only one value at a time. For fields that cannot have several values simultaneously, only the OR and NOT filtering modes are available. |

Dashboard state permalinks are URLs that encode the current state of the Rich Filter Controller gadgets in the dashboard. Later, the generated URL can open the dashboard and restore the quick filters to the same state.
The permalink can be generated by clicking the corresponding icon in the footer of the Rich Filter Controller gadget. It will then be automatically copied to the clipboard.
...
The generated URL can be bookmarked or sent to another user. When the URL is opened, the rich filter gadgets are restored to the same state as when the link was generated—the same quick filters are selected in the Rich Filter Controller gadgets.
