hi @amolp,

all filters in the top bar on the dashboard get applied to all the visualizations on that dashboard.

If you want to save a filter with a particular visualization, you have to do that when building the visualization.

1. create the visualization
2. add filters to the filter bar
3. save the visualization  
-\> this will save the filters for this particular visualization only. When you add it to a dashboard, those filters will be applied (even though these filters are not visible in the filter bar on the dashboard)
