This structure represents the unique key fields associated with identifying a resource title. Titles are used when requesting and booking resources during the resource scheduling workflow, in the determination of default billing. A title can be identified either by a unique identifier (UID), or the combination of department identity and name. The department identity or title name alone do not sufficiently identify a single title. When passing a title identity as input to a web service, you need only specify the unique identifier or the department identity and title name. You may specify all three values if you wish, but if you do so, they must all refer to the same title, or the reference will not be considered valid. When this structure is returned as part of the response from a web service, all fields will be specified, and will be guaranteed to refer to a single title.

Warning

In a slight variation from the typical ref structure format, if the title is identified in the instance of PwsTitleRef only by TitleName and not be by TitleId  or TitleUid, the DepartmentIdentity  must also be present and non-empty, because title names may not be unique across departments.  If DepartmentIdentity is not present or is empty when the title is otherwise identified only by TitleName , it will be as if the title is not found.
