Edit the New Document

• 1 - Enter document ID - see the examples below

  • Any collection name can be entered as a prefix.
  • The collection name will be created if it doesn't exist yet.
  • If no collection name is specified, i.e. the ID string doesn't end with ( / ) or ( | ),
    then the document will be added to the @empty collection.

• 2 - Edit document content
  Edit the document fields, the above document content showing is just an initial template.

• 3 - Click Save when done
  

• Open the down arrow and click Create New Document in Current Collection.
  
  

• Edit the new document
  
  

• 1 - Enter document ID

  • The current collection name is initially suggested.
  • Any other collection name of your choice can still be entered,
    document creation will be handled as described above in 'Create New Document'.

• 2 - Edit document content

  • Edit the document fields
  • If all the documents in the collection have the same 'structure', i.e. same fields,
    then the initial document content showing will be those fields.
    (In the above example the fields are: 'ID Type' & 'Name')
  • If not all documents share the exact same fields,
    then the initial document content will be just the initial template as in 'Create New Document'.

• 3 - Click Save when done
  

Create New Document from Clone

A new document can be created by cloning an existing document.

• Click the 'Clone' button to create a clone from the current document.
• The original document's attachments, counters & time-series items are copied into the clone.
• Modify the cloned document as needed and click Save.
  The cloned document will be saved as a new document with a new ID.

IDs Examples

1. Semantic ID
   This ID was generated by entering the actual string in the document ID.
   i.e. "users/ayende@hr.com"

2. Server-Side ID
   This ID was generated by entering: "users/" in the document ID.
   Note: the first document was created from node 'A' while the other one from node 'B'.

3. Identity
   This ID was generated by entering: "users|" in the document ID.

4. GUID
   This ID was generated by leaving the document ID field empty and just clicking 'Save'
