I have a dashboard with two filters, and I need to set a visualization that uses the second one. There is an option to `Ignore Global Filter` in TSVB, but it ignores both of them. Can a visualization apply the second filter and ignore the first one?

This isn't possible. You can work around it by adding "Ignore global filter" and then adding a visualization-level filter that does the same thing

In Canvas there is the concept of filter groups. That could solve your requirement. Is it an option for you to build your dashboard in Canvas?

No, it's not. But thanks for the Canvas tip.
