Messages and limits
Last updated 11/11/2026
Each tab works on its own: a problem in one tab never stops the other tabs from showing.
Messages you may see
| Message | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| "This saved filter is not shared with you, or it was deleted." | You can't see that filter, or it no longer exists. | Ask the filter owner to share it with you, or edit the gadget and pick another filter. |
| "This tab's search has a problem" plus Jira's error text | The JQL is not valid for you (for example a field or value you can't see) or too broad. | Fix the JQL in the gadget editor. |
| "Unbounded JQL queries are not allowed here" | The query has no condition (for example only ORDER BY). | Add a condition such as project = ABC. |
| "No work items match this tab." | The search ran and found nothing. | Nothing - or broaden the filter. |
| "Could not reach Jira. Try again in a moment." | A temporary error. | Refresh the dashboard. |
Limits
- Up to 10 tabs per gadget. Add another gadget if you need more.
- Tab labels up to 40 characters; JQL up to 2,000 characters.
- Columns and rows per page apply to all tabs in a gadget.
- Tab counts are Jira's fast count. On very large or very recently changed result sets they can briefly differ from the table by a few work items.
