Users can add Tabs to provide different, preset views of the Jira data displayed on linked reports. These tabs can also be used externally via the Shared Dashboard gadget.

Once a tab is added, an editor can preset values from any Simple Search field. The preset selections will automatically apply to linked reports once the tab is clicked by users.
