Delete a custom schema

After you create a customized schema, you can hide it by clearing the Active option. When Inspire looks for schemas to use, only those marked as Active are identified. If you know you will never use a custom schema again, you can permanently delete it.

You must have administrator permissions in Inspire to complete this task.

To hide a custom schema:

  1. From the Administration_TopMenuOpt Administration menu, select Advanced settings, and then select Component schema management.
  2. On the Component schema management tab, find the schema you want to update, select the row, and then click Update .
  3. On the Update Component Schema dialog, clear the Active option.
    The Active option is useful if you want to test schemas. For example, you can upload two schemas and switch back and forth between them.
  4. On the Update Component schema dialog, click Update.
    You see the Component schema management tab and the details about your updated schema. Look in the Active column. The value is set to No.
