Filter Tabs documentation

Last updated 11/11/2026

Filter Tabs for Jira Dashboards puts several saved filters or JQL queries into one Jira Cloud dashboard gadget. Each becomes a tab with a live count in its label ("Open bugs (42)"), and the selected tab lists its work items in a table you can page through. Every search runs with the viewer's own Jira permissions, and the app stores no work item data.

Quick start

1. A Jira admin installs Filter Tabs from the Atlassian Marketplace.
2. Open a dashboard, click Edit, add the Filter Tabs gadget.
3. Add up to 10 tabs (saved filter or JQL), pick columns, click Save.
4. Click a tab to see its work items.
