FAQ: What is the Difference Between a Filter and a Query Filter?
Filters (1) are groups of query filters. That means that you want to offer Filters to the user based on available metadata values of a content (result set) e.g. Filters "Media type" allows the user to filter for all content tagged with a media type or Filter for "Department" allows the user to filter content tagged with a department. Picturepark offers an editor for configuration.

Query Filter (2) means that you query for a finite set of content based on specific criteria e.g. show only Arrangements, show only current employees, show |
only players from Real Madrid. Query Filter already filters the content. Those filters do not require user input, they have a fixed return set. Query Filters are code, there is no editor.
