The Schema Designer zone allows you to edit the data area's schema. The purpose of the schema is to describe the structure and elements of the data area.

Fastpath: Refer to Schema Syntax and UI Hint syntax for a complete list of the XML nodes and attributes available to you when you construct a schema. Also note that the Schema Tips zone in the sidebar provides links to launch these help topics directly.

Note: View UI Rendering. A context sensitive "View UI Rendering" zone is associated with this page. The zone is useful for data areas that are to be included in business objects that define the user interface detail using schema attributes and UI Hints. The buttons allow you to view the automatically rendered display and input maps.

The Schema Usage Tree zone summarizes all cross-references to this schema. These may be other schemas, scripts, and web services. For each type of referencing entity, the tree displays a summary node showing a total count of referencing items. The summary node appears if at least one referencing item exists. Expand the node to list the referencing items and use their description to navigate to their corresponding pages.
