Checking Schema Usage


Prerequisites: See Schema Designer Prerequisites for details.

Schema Designer's Usage feature displays results for each schema's associated instances in Ingeniux CMS.

Purposes for checking schema usage may include:

  • Identifying the total schema instances. You may need to pinpoint out-of-sync instances and up-to-date instances.
  • Locating associated content items, content units, or embedded components.
  • Identifying checked-in and checked-out instances.
  • Eliminating unused or deprecated schemas.
To check schema usage:
  1. Navigate to Administration > Schema Designer.
  2. Select the schema from the appropriate tab in the Management view.
