Record picker - "No results found"

Question

Record picker keeps returning "no results found". As far as I can tell the Record is defined correctly, as I can view it in Tempo and use the search functionality. I'm I missing something? I've set the record type per typing into the recordType field and having it auto complete what I was looking for, and I've defined a local variable for value and saveInto. I noticed one other answer to this similar questions said to " Over in the Record Type, find the Record Title section, which displays an expressionable field. In that field, type rf! to get a list of available fields to use as the Record's title." However , this does not exist. 
 a!pickerFieldRecords( label: "Record Picker", labelPosition: "ABOVE", recordType: 'recordType!PO Offices', value: local!storedRecord, saveInto: local!storedRecord, required: true, ) 
 Note: I'm using 20.1

**SOLVED** 
 For anyone else that might run into this. Since I wasn't really worried about the Summary view, I didn't really navigate to the "Views" tab of the record configuration page, which is where you define the "Record Title". After adding a Record Title the record picker now works. 
 Not sure if anyone possibly has an explanation for why the picker doesn't work when a "Record Title" isn't defined? 
 It's a bit confusing as there is no information about it in the record picker documentation, and there were no warnings/errors displayed anywhere. The tempo record page worked as expected and you could search and click into a record (though blank since I didn't define any info for the view). 
 Thank you.

Keep in mind that the title isn't only for search - it also determines what label is displayed when a record is selected in the picker. If no title is set for the record, you would end up with a bunch of empty boxes once you selected a record! 
 Also, if you're looking at the documentation of functions, there usually good explanations in the "Notes" section below the list of parameters for the function. Here's the first bullet point in that section: 
 Suggestions are based on the fields used in the record title. This is equivalent to the search functionality in a feed-style record list.
