Get-AtwsTicket -Id 0
Returns the object with Id 0, if any.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsTicket -TicketName SomeName
Returns the object with TicketName 'SomeName', if any.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsTicket -TicketName 'Some Name'
Returns the object with TicketName 'Some Name', if any.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsTicket -TicketName 'Some Name' -NotEquals TicketName
Returns any objects with a TicketName that is NOT equal to 'Some Name', if any.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsTicket -TicketName SomeName* -Like TicketName
Returns any object with a TicketName that matches the simple pattern 'SomeName*'. Supported wildcards are * and %.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsTicket -TicketName SomeName* -NotLike TicketName
Returns any object with a TicketName that DOES NOT match the simple pattern 'SomeName*'. Supported wildcards are * and %.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsTicket -IssueType <PickList Label>
Returns any Tickets with property IssueType equal to the <PickList Label>. '-PickList' is any parameter on .
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsTicket -IssueType <PickList Label> -NotEquals IssueType
Returns any Tickets with property IssueType NOT equal to the <PickList Label>.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsTicket -IssueType <PickList Label1>, <PickList Label2>
Returns any Tickets with property IssueType equal to EITHER <PickList Label1> OR <PickList Label2>.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsTicket -IssueType <PickList Label1>, <PickList Label2> -NotEquals IssueType
Returns any Tickets with property IssueType NOT equal to NEITHER <PickList Label1> NOR <PickList Label2>.
 .EXAMPLE
Get-AtwsTicket -Id 1234 -TicketName SomeName* -IssueType <PickList Label1>, <PickList Label2> -Like TicketName -NotEquals IssueType -GreaterThan Id
An example of a more complex query. This command returns any Tickets with Id GREATER THAN 1234, a TicketName that matches the simple pattern SomeName* AND that has a IssueType that is NOT equal to NEITHER <PickList Label1> NOR <PickList Label2>.
