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

Generates a stable local identifier for a dashboard measure value filter from the target metric's `ObjRef` and a positional index. Used both by the add-MVF reducer (as a fallback when callers omit `localIdentifier`) and by the postMessage embedding handler so the caller can pre-compute the id and chain follow-up commands in the same dispatch batch.

**Signature:**

```typescript
generateMeasureValueFilterLocalIdentifier: (ref: ObjRef, index: number) => string
```

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ref | [ObjRef](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-model/sdk-model.objref/index.md) |  |
| index | number |  |

**Returns:**

string
