How to Create Property Schemas
If you choose to promote fields as property fields, you will need to define a property schema first. This property schema specifies an unstructured collection of fields into which you can promote fields from within an instance message defined by a schema associated with your property schema.
 Important |

| Do not copy and edit an existing property schema to create a new schema. The property schema contains schema-specific internal data. |

| You do not need to create a property schema to promote distinguished fields. |
To create a property schema
-
In Solution Explorer, right-click a BizTalk project, point to Add, and then click New Item.
-
In the Add New Item dialog box, in the Templates section, click Property Schema.
-
In the Name box, type a name for the schema, and then click Add.
The new property schema opens, and it already contains a Field Element node named Property1.
-
In the schema tree, right-click that Field Element node, click Rename, type a descriptive name for the first property in the schema, and then press ENTER.
-
Set the Data Type and other relevant properties, as appropriate, for the Field Element node in the Properties window.
-
If you want to insert Field Element nodes for additional properties, right-click the <Schema> node, click Insert Schema Node, and then click Child Field Element, and then repeat steps 4 and 5. Repeat as necessary to create the required set of Field Element nodes into which you intend to promote values from instance messages.
