Documentation:
A WQL query used to identify the object(s) to test against. Any valid WQL query is usable with one exception, at most one field is allowed in the SELECT portion of the query. For example SELECT name FROM ... is valid, as is SELECT 'true' FROM ..., but SELECT name, number FROM ... is not valid. This is because the result element in the data section is only designed to work against a single field.
