Note that the Cloud Account filter has been renamed to Account, and the Cloud Provider filter has been renamed to Provider.

For example, if you see the dashboard shown in the screenshot below, the Parameters > Filter section shows the Provider filter for which the value selected is AWS.

To add the Account filter, users can click ADD+ and select Account. In the drop-down list that appears, users can select all applicable values, and click Ok. Details will be displayed in widgets as per the selected filter(s).

In every widget that is available within a dashboard, users can click the Filter icon that appears on the top-right side of the widget and view the pre-defined filters. The Provider filter appears as a pre-defined filter. Users can use the ADD+ option to add custom filters and they have the option to add the Account filter from here.
