+## Disabling the `id` Generator
+
+By default, the generator adds a property called `id` not provided by Schema.org.
+This is useful when generating an entity for use with an ORM or an ODM but not when generating DTOs.
 This behavior can be disabled with the following setting:
 
 ```yaml
-generateId: false
+id:
+  generate: false
+```
+
+## Generating UUIDs
+
+It's also possible to let the DBMS generate [UUIDs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier) instead of autoincremented integers:
+
+```yaml
+id:
+  generationStrategy: uuid
+```
+
+## User submitted UUIDs
+
+To set manually a UUID instead of letting the DBMS generating it, use the following config:
+
+```yaml
+id:
+  generationStrategy: uuid
+  writable: true
+```
+
+## Generating Custom IDs
+
+With this configuration option, an `$id` property of type `string` and the corresponding getters and setters will be
+generated, but the DBMS will not generate anything, the ID must be set manually.

+```yaml
+id:
+  generationStrategy: none
