| Schema | Specify the Azure Cosmos DB database you want to work with. |
| Property | Description |
| CalculateAggregates | Specifies whether will return the calculated value of the aggregates or grouped by partiton range. |
| ConsistencyLevel | Denotes the type of token: master or resource. |
| FlattenArrays | By default, nested arrays are returned as strings of JSON. The FlattenArrays property can be used to flatten the elements of nested arrays into columns of their own. Set FlattenArrays to the number of elements you want to return from nested arrays. |

| Other | These hidden properties are used only in specific use cases. |
| Pagesize | The maximum number of results to return per page from Azure Cosmos DB. |
| Readonly | You can use this property to enforce read-only access to Azure Cosmos DB from the provider. |
