Object information

After clicking NEXT on the Create Schema page, the Object Information page is displayed.

  1. Specify this information:
    Object Name
    The name of your object.

    This value is inferred based on the name of the sample file provided on the previous step. This field is required and can be changed.

    For JSON and DSV objects, object names cannot exceed 100 characters. These characters are allowed:

    • Letters a-z and A-Z
    • Numbers 0-9
    • These special characters: underscore (_), period (.), and hyphen (-)

    For BOD objects, the name of the noun should be provided as the object name. BOD names should not exceed 30 characters. These characters are allowed:

    • Letters a-z and A-Z
    • Numbers 0-9
    • Underscore (_)
    Title
    Does not apply to BODs.

    Optionally, specify a business-friendly name for your object.

    Description
    Optionally, specify a description for the object.
    Object Type
    The type of object schema you are creating.

    This value is inferred based on the sample file and cannot be changed.

    Subtype
    The subtype for the object schema.

    This value is inferred based on the sample file.

    Note: We recommend that you do not change this value unless the wizard incorrectly inferred the subtype. The wizard is not designed to generate a schema for an object that does not match the type and subtype of the provided sample file.

    For example, you should not use a CSV sample file to generate a TSV object schema. You must use a TSV sample file instead.

    The next fields apply to objects of type DSV. They are hidden when any other type is selected.

    Field Separator
    The character that is used to separate field values in the data object.

    This value is inferred from the sample file and cannot be changed.

    Number of Header Rows
    The number of header rows that exist in the data object. By default, the value is set to 1.
    Column Header Line
    The line number that contains the column headers for the object. By default, the value is set to 1.
    Header rows included in sample data
    Indicates that header rows are included in the sample file that is provided.

    This check box is selected by default. If the sample file does not include header rows, clear this check box.

    Note: The sample data should include a header row so that the schema generator can properly infer the names of the properties in the data object.
    Enclosing Character
    The character that indicates the start and end of a value. By default, None is selected. If any of the values in your data object use an enclosing character, it must be specified here.
    Specify Enclosing Character
    This value is populated based on the selection that is made for Enclosing Character. If Other was selected, a value must be provided.
