# IDashboardArbitraryAttributeFilter

- Package: [@gooddata/sdk-model](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-model/index.md)
- Kind: interface
- Stability: alpha
- Source: https://github.com/gooddata/gooddata-ui-sdk/blob/rel/11.64/libs/sdk-model/src/dashboard/filterContext.ts

> **Alpha API.** Initial API, highly likely to change outside SemVer. Don't build on it in production. See [API maturity](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/integrations/platform/api-maturity/index.md).
> 

Arbitrary attribute filter of the filter context.

**Signature:**

```typescript
export interface IDashboardArbitraryAttributeFilter 
```

## Remarks

Allows filtering by custom string values that don't need to exist as actual attribute elements. Unlike [IDashboardAttributeFilter](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-model/sdk-model.idashboardattributefilter/index.md), values are free-form strings, not references to existing elements.
