In v1, we do this underneath each chart. That probably still makes the most sense (as opposed to a global/sticky area that's mean to apply to all charts). One challenge will be using the "human readable" version of the field being filtered. Data providers like carto don't have field aliases, so dc_dist is 14 is a bit confusing, relative to Police District is 14. Perhaps the answer here is to use the title property of whatever chart initiated the filter. I think that would be easier to comprehend anyway.

Another idea for field aliases is for the config file to have global options like field aliases/descriptions.
