Format warning when setting entity object

Hello,

When I try to set an entity object to, lets say, a number instead of a json object, the dashboard shows the following warning:

Warning: some entity data is unstructuredIf you enter data that is unstructured (not a valid JSON object), it will not be available for searching and segmentation.

What's the searching and segmentation in this context? I've checked the segments part in dashboard but haven't seen anything related to entity objects.

Greetings,

Entity object should be valid JSON in order to be of use, but this warning means that the Player you are attaching this object to will not show up in searches or segments based on that object. PlayFab allows you to search\segment Players based off of many properties. If you create an object on this Player that is not valid JSON, this specific object will be not be a property that can be used for filtering. Either via searching or segmenting.

Hi jital,

Thanks for the answer. I've understood that part but it is not clear to me how I can utilize entity objects to search/segment players.
