**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:

1. **AMM Touchpoints**
2. **Data Batch Information**

### Create an Individual Profile Based Schema

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

  - 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**.
