C. Sub Schemas

Sub Schemas are useful for creating a data structure within a parent data structure, especially when the child structure needs fewer or unique details compared to its parent.

Adding a Subschema

Subschemas are useful when you need a specific data structure inside another data structure, with possibly fewer details than its parent schema. Follow the steps below to add a subschema:

  1. Enable Subschema on Parent Collection:

parent collection

  • Navigate to the parent custom collection where you want to attach the subschema.
  • Click on the Settings (Gear Icon) of the custom collection.
  • Enable the option for Subschema.
  1. Add the Subschema:

Subschemas collection

  • Go to the Subschema dropdown within the custom collection interface.
  • Click on the Plus Icon (+) to add a new subschema.
  • In the Parent Collection dropdown, select the parent collection you enabled in the previous step.
  1. Configure the Subschema:
    • Drag and drop the elements you want to include in the subschema.
    • Once you're satisfied with the structure, save your collection.

This process allows you to manage complex data structures more efficiently by nesting schemas as needed.

Conclusion: Sub Schemas in Appmint enable efficient management of complex data structures by allowing you to nest specific schemas within a parent collection, streamlining data organization and customization.
