Filtering

The calendar gadget has the same set of filters as the Calendar module (Quick filters, Date range, text and JQL search).

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 of a Box, filters of gadgets based on that Box will be reset (gadget filters will be cleared).
