Hi,  
I have a Dashboard with mutiple visualisations ( Line, Table, Timelion) with each querying on different indices which do not have the same fields in them.

If i filter by a specific field of an index, the remaining visualisations show no data as the field does not exist in the indices of the visualisation.

How should we go about when i want to use multiple filters to my dashboard but each filter affecting only a reduced set of indices of the Dashboard?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry but I don't think that's possible. Filters are always applied to everything in that dashboard. I think you might want to create separate dashboards for each index (or set of indices that share common fields).
