You can put the fields as filters in two different areas:
1. View
2. Chart/Table
An end-user asked me the difference between the them today:
It’s helpful to have more than two chart/table in a view (think of view as one excel single sheet) to understand the difference. So let’s say you have two charts in a single VIEW:
How do you filter data in both charts?
By putting the field in the VIEW area.
They can be called View-Level Filters
How do you filter data in just one of the chart/table?
By putting the field in the Table/Chart area.
They can be called Visualization-Level filters.
