Overview

This structure is used to uniquely identify a department. Departments can be identified by DepartmentName or DepartmentUid. When specifying a PwsDepartmentRef as an input to a web service, you may specify one or both fields, DepartmentName and/or DepartmentUid. However, if you do specify more than one field, both values must refer to the same department or the department reference will not be considered valid. When a PwsDepartmentRef is returned in the response to a web service, the DepartmentName and DepartmentUid will be populated, and guaranteed to refer to a single department.
