FilterSets allow you to easily create a collection of defined dashboard filters that can be saved and reused across multiple dashboards, shared dashboards with public URLs, and shared with other users for enhanced collaboration and productivity. For example, you can have a FilterSet called Weekly North American Sales to look at specific sales performance for a particular region, dynamic date range, and specific product category.
