 When defining fields in schemas, their types have to be specified. Each field in the schema has to have a type. It configures what data is accepted in the field and how it will be displayed later on.
-Field names should not contain any dots, as in ''No. of items''. Use alias to name a field ''No. of items''.
+Note: in general you're free to give your fields arbitrary names. However for ease of use, it is recommended to use simple identifiers as name and use the field label for nicer names. Especially the use of spaces or dots can make the use of the field in aggregation and filter syntax more complicated than needed. Eg. instead of using ''No. of projects'' as the field name, just use ''projects'' as the name and fill the label with ''No. of projects''.
