Root Cause

Expected behavior

Resolution

Here is the explanation for the behavior reported by this Pega 7.1.7 case.

For releases prior to Pega 7.2, embedded properties cannot be referenced and displayed for Search.

If you are using a release prior to Pega 7.2, perform the following local-change to create the Report Definition with these restrictions:

• It must be a list-type report.
• Only top-level properties within the primary class of the report can be referenced.
• No class joins, subreports, or SQL functions can be referenced.
• The search string itself must be passed as a parameter to pxRetrieveSearchData.
  Other conditions such as how recently the item was updated, who created it, and so on, can be specified as filter conditions in the Report Definition.
