Overarching dashboards do not have filters by default, but you can add them if needed. Below you will find the step by step instructions on how to do that.

On the Edit Dashboard page, click again on the Additional Settings button and Edit Filters.

Start the mapping by clicking on opening the chart settings window and navigating to the Filter mappings icon of a chart on the Edit dashboard screen tab.

After you are finished with the mappings, click on Apply on the Filter Mappings dialog window, and finally Save on the Edit dashboard screen and you are done!
