# Create a Deck of Views

> Build multiple charts and tables over one dataset, sharing a common set of filters, for use in dashboards.

The **Create a Deck of views** step produces several views — charts, tables and filters — over the same data, sharing one set of controls. In a dashboard, changing a filter updates every view in the deck at once.

Use it when the same dataset deserves more than one perspective: a headline chart, a breakdown table, and a country selector that drives both.

## How it differs from the single-view steps

| Step                                      | Produces                                                    |
| ----------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Create a Chart](/steps/chart-data)       | One chart from the current data.                            |
| [Create a Table](/steps/table-view)       | One table from the current data.                            |
| **Create a Deck of views**                | Several views over the current data, with shared filters.   |
| [Create AI View](/steps/ai-visualization) | A view combining the output of **several different steps**. |

The deck operates on the single stream of data reaching it. If you need to combine separate branches of the pipeline into one view, that is what [Create AI View](/steps/ai-visualization) does.

<Note>
  The deck captures the data as it stands at that point, so place the step after every transformation, filter and ordering step you want reflected in the views.
