 **DateArrayOptions**   
Options for a field that contains an array of dates. Present if `IndexFieldType` specifies the field is of type `date-array`. All options are enabled by default.  
Type: [DateArrayOptions](API_DateArrayOptions.md)   
 Required: No 

 **DateOptions**   
Options for a date field. Dates and times are specified in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) according to IETF RFC3339: yyyy-mm-ddT00:00:00Z. Present if `IndexFieldType` specifies the field is of type `date`. All options are enabled by default.  
Type: [DateOptions](API_DateOptions.md)   
 Required: No 

 **DoubleArrayOptions**   
Options for a field that contains an array of double-precision 64-bit floating point values. Present if `IndexFieldType` specifies the field is of type `double-array`. All options are enabled by default.  
Type: [DoubleArrayOptions](API_DoubleArrayOptions.md)   
 Required: No 

 **DoubleOptions**   
Options for a double-precision 64-bit floating point field. Present if `IndexFieldType` specifies the field is of type `double`. All options are enabled by default.  
Type: [DoubleOptions](API_DoubleOptions.md)   
 Required: No 

 **IndexFieldName**   
A string that represents the name of an index field. CloudSearch supports regular index fields as well as dynamic fields. A dynamic field's name defines a pattern that begins or ends with a wildcard. Any document fields that don't map to a regular index field but do match a dynamic field's pattern are configured with the dynamic field's indexing options.   
Regular field names begin with a letter and can contain the following characters: a-z (lowercase), 0-9, and \$1 (underscore). Dynamic field names must begin or end with a wildcard (\$1). The wildcard can also be the only character in a dynamic field name. Multiple wildcards, and wildcards embedded within a string are not supported.   
The name `score` is reserved and cannot be used as a field name. To reference a document's ID, you can use the name `_id`.   
Type: String  
 Length constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.   
 Required: Yes 

 **IndexFieldType**   
The type of field. The valid options for a field depend on the field type. For more information about the supported field types, see [Configuring Index Fields](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudsearch/latest/developerguide/configuring-index-fields.html) in the *Amazon CloudSearch Developer Guide*.  
Type: String  
 Valid Values: `int | double | literal | text | date | latlon | int-array | double-array | literal-array | text-array | date-array`

 **IntArrayOptions**   
Options for a field that contains an array of 64-bit signed integers. Present if `IndexFieldType` specifies the field is of type `int-array`. All options are enabled by default.

Type: [IntOptions](API_IntOptions.md)   
 Required: No 

 **LatLonOptions**   
Options for a latlon field. A latlon field contains a location stored as a latitude and longitude value pair. Present if `IndexFieldType` specifies the field is of type `latlon`. All options are enabled by default.
