Schemas
Schemas define the structure of the data to be ingested. This lab will walk through the steps to create an Summary Metrics based schema for Adobe Mix Modeler.
Our goal is to create a schema that is required to onboard the following channel touchpoint summary data:
- AMM Touchpoints
- Data Batch Information
Create an Individual Profile Based Schema
- Navigate to Schemas under Data Management in Adobe Experience Platform UI.
- Click on Create Schema on the top-right of your screen.
- Select Schema type as Standard
- Select Creation type as Manual. Note that this will take you into the workflow to build a schema.
- Click on Other under the Schema Details section. Next you will select XDM Summary Metrics class for the schema then click Next.
- Name your schema AMM Touchpoints+{{Participant Initials}} . Please make sure to add your initials to follow the schema name to avoid any naming conflicts with other lab participants. Click Finish to go to next step.
