3. In the **Fields** section, You can see 2 field names: **name, description**. At the bottom of field name, you can see 2 values: **designer.name**, **designer.description**. They are field keys. Our app will need the suffix of the key for creating search fields, so we need the key as **name** for name field, **description** for description field.
