.INPUTS
Nothing. This function only takes parameters.
.OUTPUTS
[Autotask.Resource[]]. This function outputs the Autotask.Resource that was returned by the API.
.EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsResource -Id 0
Returns the object with Id 0, if any.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsResource -ResourceName SomeName
Returns the object with ResourceName 'SomeName', if any.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsResource -ResourceName 'Some Name'
Returns the object with ResourceName 'Some Name', if any.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsResource -ResourceName 'Some Name' -NotEquals ResourceName
Returns any objects with a ResourceName that is NOT equal to 'Some Name', if any.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsResource -ResourceName SomeName* -Like ResourceName
Returns any object with a ResourceName that matches the simple pattern 'SomeName*'. Supported wildcards are * and %.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsResource -ResourceName SomeName* -NotLike ResourceName
Returns any object with a ResourceName that DOES NOT match the simple pattern 'SomeName*'. Supported wildcards are * and %.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsResource -EmailTypeCode <PickList Label>
Returns any Resources with property EmailTypeCode equal to the <PickList Label>. '-PickList' is any parameter on .
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsResource -EmailTypeCode <PickList Label> -NotEquals EmailTypeCode
Returns any Resources with property EmailTypeCode NOT equal to the <PickList Label>.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsResource -EmailTypeCode <PickList Label1>, <PickList Label2>
Returns any Resources with property EmailTypeCode equal to EITHER <PickList Label1> OR <PickList Label2>.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsResource -EmailTypeCode <PickList Label1>, <PickList Label2> -NotEquals EmailTypeCode
Returns any Resources with property EmailTypeCode NOT equal to NEITHER <PickList Label1> NOR <PickList Label2>.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsResource -Id 1234 -ResourceName SomeName* -EmailTypeCode <PickList Label1>, <PickList Label2> -Like ResourceName -NotEquals EmailTypeCode -GreaterThan Id
An example of a more complex query. This command returns any Resources with Id GREATER THAN 1234, a ResourceName that matches the simple pattern SomeName* AND that has a EmailTypeCode that is NOT equal to NEITHER <PickList Label1> NOR <PickList Label2>.
