Note: Only Administrators can create and manage Schemas.

Schemas store info about your Assets to help you harness them more efficiently. Schemas help you build great content at scale!


There are two parts to creating a Schema for your Assets:

  1. Click on your Profile icon and select Settings from the drop-down menu.

  2. Click on the Schemas tab.


  3. Click on Create Schema. This will open a window allowing you to enter:

  4. Schema Title

  5. Schema Description

  6. Schema Fields

  7. When entering Schema Fields, consider the characteristics to enter into these fields. For instance, in the Schema shown above for Jeans, the fields might include Size, Color, Fit, Style, etc.

  8. Select the data Type from the drop-down menu. For instance, in the example above, Size would be Type: Number, while Color, Fit and Style would be Type: Text. If you were entering longer sequences of text, like a disclaimer for example, then you would select Type: Paragraph. If you were entering a Yes/No choice, you would use Type: Checkbox. And if you needed to reference a web url, then you would select Type: Hyperlink.

  9. If any of the Schema Fields are mandatory, click on the Required checkbox.

  10. If you wish to delete a Schema Field, select the delete icon.

  11. To add a Schema Field, click on + Add Field.

  12. When you’re happy with the Schema, click Create.

    Part 2: Preparing the Data

  13. In the Schemas list, click on the Schema Title you want to prepare data for.


  14. If you have a spreadsheet of data you have already created with fields that correspond to your Schema, click Upload .csv to flow the data into your Schema fields.

  15. If you need to create a new spreadsheet, click on Download and select Download .csv template.


    This will download a spreadsheet pre-prepared with your Schema Fields. Input the data, and save the file to your computer.


    Next click on the Upload .csv button which will bring up a Create or update datasets window.

  16. Click on Choose File and go to the .csv file you just created.

  17. Click on Upload and your data will be input into the Schema fields.


    This Schema can now be used to streamline the creation of content in Sesimi.
