<Note>
  Filter values are managed separately from the pipeline config. After creating a pipeline, use the [filter values endpoints](/beam/api-reference/filter-values/add-filter-values) to populate set filter transforms.

See the [Configuration reference](/beam/api-reference/configuration) for full details on sources, transforms, and sink types.
