Schemas help capture information in a strictly structured way. A schema is a group of fields that can store different data (similar to a form).
Create a SchemaEach schema type has some schema-specific settings and also requires different follow-up tasks. Please check each schema type for details.

Search a SchemaIn the list layout for all schema types, you see all schemas in a tree-like hierarchy. This allows admins to scan the Picturepark data model in one go easily. Another main benefit is the schema-wide search. Admins can search for a schema and get results from all possible schema types. |
Import a SchemaYou can import schemas from another Picturepark of the same version. It is not allowed for the schema to have the same ID, so You must change this. Lists linked to other lists must all have unique ideas. Picturepark will otherwise link to an existing list. |
Update a Schema
Limitation: File Types are system fields. As such, we have limited what can be changed here so that the system works as expected. You can, however, make the following changes:
|
Export a SchemaYou can export schemas for use in another Picturepark of the same product version.

Delete a Schema

Schema Hierarchies (Parent and Child)In a parent/child setup, the children get the fields from their parents and can have their fields too, e.g., parent “controlled vocabulary” with a field: term; child “keywords.” Picturepark displays the children in a tree-like hierarchy, so you know which schemas belong together. schemas_hierarchies_parent-child.mp4

Schema Circular ReferencesCircular references, also known as cyclic dependencies, make it possible to refer from one record to another and vice-versa.
Entity RelationshipAn employee with the Department. & The Department with a Supervisor. You have a person and department entity. The person is a member of a single department (simplified). The Department has a supervisor who is one of the Employee members. |
Blueprints for Schemas (schema.org)A good source for schema examples is the website of schema.org, an open-source community founded and supported by Google and Microsoft that maintains and promotes schemas for structured data on the Internet, on web pages, webshops, and many more. Examples from schema.org, which you can use as a blueprint mainly for Lists in Picturepark:
