How to configure Elastic Search/ Full Text Search to show custom Data-objects to end user?
We have some reports on User Portal in our system with links on different type of objects: Work-objects and Data-objects (configured to open by click on pyID link like Work-objects). So, we get a requirement to create a full-search field on User Portal with ability of searching by some properties of Work-objects (we can implement this by using @baseclass.FindWork section and Custom Search Properties) and custom Data-objects (class MyCompany-FW-KPIFW-Data-PlanningPeriodKPI).
I created Custom Search Properties object for the class MyCompany-FW-KPIFW-Data-PlanningPeriodKPI, but i don't understand, how to implement full text search on Data-objects (filtered by set of classes) and show results to end user (by the way like used in @baseclass.FindWork section)?
