The Schema Management page lets you manage the data schemas to which you publish the data you collect with Cloud Cruiser. When Cloud Cruiser runs a charge job, each service is compared against data in schemas to determine how to charge for that service. Each schema has a corresponding view in the Cloud Cruiser database that you can use to create reports.
To work with schemas, navigate to the Data > Setup > Schema Management page.
Each schema can include one or more key dimensions, which combine to form a unique object in the schema. Each schema can also define one or more required fields, which must be mapped to a worksheet column when defining a Publish Data step in a workbook. For more information about using the Publish Data step, see Publishing data to a schema.
