Filter Applied to All Reports on Dashboard

I would like to create a filter to apply to all reports within a dashboard without having to add the filter conditions to each report individually. I understand how to use interactive filters but for this use-case, the report user should not have the ability to change the filter values.

I have run into this use-case several times but I will use the following as an example. I am creating a dashboard which has reports using the Task table and each report excludes a set of task types such as Epic, Sprint, Story, and a few others. I am currently adding these filter conditions to each report. However, with there being numerous reports on the dashboard, it would be much more efficient if I could create these filter conditions once and have them apply to all reports on the dashboard that uses this task table.

For further clarification and simplicity, the functionality that I am interested in is essentially the equivalent of a report level or page level filter in PowerBI.

Any advice on how I can do this would be greatly appreciated as I am fairly new to ServiceNow. Thank you!
