Mandatory input parameters
Choosing a parameter set will give you a particular set of input parameters, in case of a mandatory input parameter BlueParq will display this item in bold, in above example InputObject.
- After adding a text, in this example Hello world, you can directly press Finish, exit the wizard and add your cmdlet as a block (BlueParq Designer) or as PowerShell code (BlueParq Editor). We will discuss the Pipe result to another cmdlet in the advanced tutorial of the cmdlet wizard.
