To create a schema
1
Connect (page 303) to the feature source in which you want to create the
schema (page 2073).
2 In Map Explorer, select the
feature source (page 2063) in the connection
tree (at the top of the pane) and click Schema ➤ Edit Schema.
3 In the
Schema Editor (page 1739), expand the Schema tree and do one of
the following:
■ To create a schema, select Schemas (the top-most node in the Schema
tree) and click New Schema on the Schema Editor toolbar.
■ To create a feature class (page 2063), select the parent schema in the
Schema tree and click New Feature Class on the Schema Editor toolbar.
■ To create a
property (page 2071), select the parent feature class in the
Schema tree and click New Property on the Schema Editor toolbar.
4 Specify the settings for the new schema element (page 1739) in the
right-hand pane.
See Setting Up Constraints in the Schema Editor (page 599) for information
on limiting the valid values for a property.
5 Repeat the preceding two steps as required to create other schema
elements.
6 Click Apply to apply your changes and leave the Schema Editor open.
When you click Apply or OK, your changes are submitted to the data

your previous work.
