Each Query Definition starts with an initial Context Item before building it out to a more extensive structure. This specifies the root of the query, from where query of structures and property values will begin.

The basic steps for creating a Query Definition are as follows:

1. Define the Context Item.

2. Build the Relationship Structure.

3. Apply Search Conditions.
