|Indexing policy|By default, Azure Cosmos DB [indexes all properties](../index-policy.md) in all items for flexible and efficient queries (maps to the **Automatic** indexing policy). <br/><br/> If you choose **off**, none of the properties are indexed. This results in the lowest RU charge for writes. Select **off** policy if you expect to only do [point reads](/dotnet/api/microsoft.azure.cosmos.container.readitemasync) (key value lookups) and/or writes, and no queries. <br/><br/> If you choose **Automatic**, Azure Cosmos DB automatically indexes all the items as they are written. <br/><br/> **Custom** indexing policy allows you to include or exclude specific properties from the index for lower write throughput and storage. To learn more, see [indexing policy](../index-overview.md) and [sample indexing policies](how-to-manage-indexing-policy.md#indexing-policy-examples) articles.|
