Our goal is to create a schema to model the data we would ingest from a CRM data source.

To do so, we will

1. Create a new schema using the  **Individual Profile** class
2. Add **out-of-the-box** field groups to the new schema
3. Create a new **custom field group** to the schema and **add fields to the to the new field group**
4. Mark specific fields for **identity** (optional)

**WARNING about using unique names {initials} in the following exercises!!!**

## Create an Individual Profile Based Schema
