I have 3 different visualisations that require different types of filters, and i want to put these 3 visualisations in the same dashboard.

but when i pin the filters, the filters overwrite unto the other visualisations! do you know how i can attach a set of filters permanently and specifically to 1 visualisation? :(((

You can set the filters on the Visualization level and saves these. They will also be applied when you insert the visualizations into a dashboard.

but it seems like the filters apply to all of the data, and not to the specific visualisation?  
because the dashboard i would like to create will have 3 graphs with different filters for each graph. is there a way to attach filters just to 1 visualisation?

Which Version are you working on?

If you create a visualization with filters and saved it with these and than add this visu to a dashboard the filters on the visu should only apply to this visu and not to all visus on the dashboard.

You could also try to use a saved search for the visu so that the filters are defined there, that i now works in all versions 6.x (i have it myself on multiple visus).

If that doesn't work i have no idea what the Problem could be.
