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.

Answers > Collections

Objects in Answers are organized into collections which act as database-like structures for grouping and managing similar records with unique identifiers.

Collections > Create a collection

Collections in Answers organize objects with similar fields, functioning like database tables and supporting string and string list data types for indexing records.

Collections > Update a collection

Collections in Answers can be modified to update their properties and attributes while organizing similar objects through shared fields and database-like functionality.
