# Filter properties

You can use filter shortcuts to reduce the amount of time required to write a JSON query. For example, `Relation` has a `typeId` parameter that takes an `Id` and eliminates the need to add a `RelationType` node with an `Id` property. These one-line filtering properties are the most commonly used filters because they make the query a lot less verbose.

The following example shows filtering a `StringAttribute` on an `AttributeType` using the `labelId` filtering property.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JSON" %}

```json
"StringAttribute": {
    "labelId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000202",
    "Id": { "name": "descriptionId" },
    "LongExpression": { "name": "description" }
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="YAML" %}

```yaml
StringAttribute:
  labelId: "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000202"
  Id:
    name: "descriptionId"
  LongExpression:
    name: "description"
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
