It shows you all the options that can be selected for that dimension under Filter options.

You also have an option to allow viewers to change/modify the filter selection. You can select check box - “Allow Viewers to modify selections” to enable this.

When you make the filter selection and cpck on OK button, your chart values are changed automatically, and selected filter will be shown in Tool bar.
