Creating a new Schema Group

Every InSite system contains schema groups, such as User Data and Study Areas and Catchments, to which you can import your schemas. However, as you use InSite more, and import more and more data, you will find that these schema groups become overcrowded. Making it hard to find particular schemas easily. You should take this opportunity to create a new schema group to place some of this data.

To create a new schema group:

Go to Tools and select Configure Catalog

Select Properties then click on the New… button

Type in a Name, here SCHGRP_CUSTOMERS

Note: The name cannot contain spaces or non-alphanumeric characters

Type in a Description, here Customer Data

Tick the Defines Schema Group box

Select Apply, and Yes to Add new record?

Note: The schema group will not appear with your other schema groups until it has a schema in it

To add a schema into a schema group:

Go to Tools and select Configure Catalog

Double click on the schema group that holds the schema you want to move, then on the schema itself

Select Schema Properties then click on the New... button

Click on the … button next to Property Name

Select the name of the schema you just created, here SCHGRP_CUSTOMERS

Click on OK, then select Apply

Add new record? Select Yes

You will now see the schema group that you created in the list of Schema Groups and the schema you added the property to within it. A schema can be assigned to more than one schema group.
