**Schemas**

Schemas define the structure of the data to be ingested. This lab will walk through the steps to create an Individual Profile based schema.

Our goal is to create a schema that is required to onboard the following CRM attributes:

1. **Person Information**
2. **Identities Information** 
3. **Member Information**

### Create an Individual Profile Based Schema

1. Navigate to **Schemas** under Data Management in Adobe Experience Platform UI
