  • Name supports the '=, !=, <>, CONTAINS' operators.
  • Timestamp supports the '=, <, <=, >, >=, CONTAINS' operators.
  • LastRegisteredTime supports the '=, CONTAINS' operators.
  • ObjectType supports the '=' operator.
  • SourceType supports the '=' operator.
  • FriendlyName supports the '=, CONTAINS' operators.
  • Experts supports the '=, CONTAINS' operators.
  • Description supports the '=, CONTAINS' operators.
  • Tags supports the '=, !=, <>, CONTAINS' operators.
