Hi there

Views supports front-end filtering by custom fields or taxonomies, not by standard fields, such as the post type.

You need to create separate Views for different post types.

(You can have one View output posts of multiple post types, but that's not what you are asking for.)

You can submit a request to add support for filtering by post type with this form: https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/

That will go to the product manager who determines development priorities.
