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 field is required.

    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. If ANY is the selected object type, this field is disabled.
    Object Type
    The type of object schema you are creating. By default, ANY is selected.
    Subtype
    The subtype for the object schema, if it applies. When ANY or BOD is the selected object type, this field is disabled.

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

    Field Separator
    The character that is used to separate field values in the data object. This value is populated based on the selected subtype. If Other is selected as the subtype, you must provide a separator for the data object. The provided value must be a single character.
    Number of Header Rows
    The number of header rows that exist in the data object. When not specified the default value is set to 0.
    Column Header Line
    The line number that contains the column headers for the object.
    Header rows included in sample data
    Indicates that header rows are included in the sample file that is provided.

    This check box is not used and therefore disabled when building a schema manually.

    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.
  2. If creating a new ANY object, click Finish. Otherwise click NEXT to proceed with the Property Definitions page.
