Objects

Every record you index in Answers called an Object.

If the object contains an id field of type string, Answers will use that field as the identifier for the document. Otherwise, Answers will assign an auto-generated identifier to the document. Since it’s a special field, the id field is not required to be defined as part of the collection schema.
