* The global filter can be applied only to those views on the storyboard, where the filter values are used as dimensions.
* A global filter, when applied to various views on a storyboard, subdues the view-specific filter values.
* The user can insert views created via different data stores on one Storyboard. By default, the Global filter panel displays all the available filter values across the data stores.
