Parameters (5)

Parameter	Type	Required	What it controls

-FilterConditions	PswsHashtable	yes	The FilterConditions parameter specifies the conditions that are included in the dynamic boundary. Valid syntax and values depend of the value of the LocationType parameter:
-RawQuery	String	yes	The RawQuery parameter switches the scope to advanced query mode. You use OPATH filter syntax for advanced query mode.
-Comment	String		The Comment parameter specifies an optional comment. If you specify a value that contains spaces, enclose the value in quotation marks ("), for example: "This is an admin note".
