Manage XML validation schemas in Inspire

Authors can easily validate XML documents without opening them in the Oxygen editor. As an administrator, you can configure which schema Inspire uses when an author chooses the Validate XML, Export, or Publish options in the Components browser.

The purpose of an XML Schema is to define the legal building blocks of an XML document:

• Elements and attributes that can appear in a document
• Number of (and order of) child elements
• Data types for elements and attributes
• Default and fixed values for elements and attributes

Tips and Tricks

• By default, Inspire provides built-in schemas and these are used if no custom schemas are defined.
  • If you define a custom schema, Inspire uses it for validation in the Components browser.
• By default, schemas you add are flagged as Active. When Inspire looks for schemas to use, only those marked as Active are identified. If you don't want Inspire to identify this schema as available, clear this 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.
• If your list is long, you can find the schema you need in the following ways:
  • Search for the schema Name. You can't search in any other column.
  • Sort the list in ascending or descending order by any of the following columns:
    • Name
    • Description
    • Schema Standard
    • Component Type
    • Updated Date
    • Updated By
    • Active
  • Hide columns with information you don't need see. You can hide any of the following columns:
    • Description
    • Updated Date
    • Updated By
    • Active
• You can move any of the columns to display the information in any order you want. Just grab the column heading and move it to a new location delineated by green placement arrows.

  

  In the example image, the Description column is being moved before the Updated Date column.
