| viewId | The object ID for the parent view to which the resource record is being added. |
| absoluteName | The absolute name of the record, specified as an FQDN.

Depending on the policy order value, the location of the single hash (#) sign varies. |
| type | The type of record being added. Valid values for this parameter are
the resource record types shown in Object Types:
Note: To add NAPTRRecord, SRVRecord and
GenericRecord, you must use
addNAPTRRecord(), add
SRVRecord() and
addGenericRecord() methods
respectively.
