What is a Rich Filter

All the gadgets added by the Rich Filters for Jira Dashboards app are based on a data source called rich filter. A rich filter is based on a Jira native filter, extending the Jira native filter to include additional definitions for extra filtering, issue highlighting, multiple views for the results and other settings that can be used by the Rich Filter Gadgets.
