5.2 Viewing the Schema

You can view the schema to evaluate how well the schema meets your organization’s informational needs. The larger and more complex your organization, the more likely it is that you need to customize the schema, but even small organizations might have unique tracking needs. Viewing the schema can help you determine what, if any, extensions you need to make to the base schema.

5.2.1 Viewing Class Information

The Class Information page in iManager displays information about the selected class and lets you add attributes. Most of the information displayed on the page was specified when the class was created. Some of the optional attributes might have been added later.

During class creation, if the class was specified to inherit attributes from another class, the inherited attributes are classified as they are in the parent class. For instance, if Object Class is a mandatory attribute for the parent class, then it displays on this screen as a mandatory attribute for the selected class.
