Team filter	TEAM - Description - Quarter/Year
Project filter	PROJECT KEY - Description
Cross-project filter	CROSS - Description - Quarter/Year

Two Dimensional Filter Statistics - use for breakdown by assignee, priority or status. Always base on a saved filter.
Filter Results - limit to 20 rows maximum to avoid performance issues.

Created vs Resolved - useful for trend analysis. Set period to weekly for sprint dashboards, monthly for programme dashboards.

Gadget	Purpose	Filter example
Filter Results	Open issues this quarter	project = X AND fixVersion = "Q2 2026" AND statusCategory != Done

Two Dimensional Filter Statistics	Issues by assignee	project = X AND fixVersion = "Q2 2026" AND statusCategory != Done
Created vs Resolved	Throughput trend	project = X AND fixVersion = "Q2 2026"
