Project Schema

The Schema provides a blueprint and data structure for each data within Swarm project. The Schema allows you to define which fields will display within Task Data, which fields are available for export using Export Tasks and which fields can be selected using Custom Columns.

To create a Schema, you go to Settings and click on Schema.

Schema tab

Enter the Key name, select the data Type and click on Save. You can add more keys by clicking the Key button on the top left.

Specify the key and type

To organise similar data, you can use the Object data type. This allows you to define multiple key/value pairs within the one group known as Child.

Object data type

Once the Schema is created, you can view the Schema within Task Data.
