Modifying Schemas after an upgrade
As of SDL Tridion Sites 9.5, some Schema types have additional options for the templateless, data-only publishing framework, which enable you to select which content is publishable and searchable. Following an upgrade to 9.5 (or later), neither option is enabled by default, so you should review your schemas to determine where you need to change these settings.
About this task
The following types of Schemas have options to make the content based on the Schemas publishable and searchable when published with the templateless, data-only publishing framework:
- Component Schema
- Metadata Schema
- Multimedia Schema
- Region Schema or Page Schema
After upgrading to 9.5 (or later) from a version earlier than 9.5, analyze your schemas and evaluate whether the any or all of the schemas fields should be published with the Component. Additionally, analyze whether the fields should be searchable by website visitors. The option to make a field searchable is naturally only applicable if the field is also published. Perform the procedure in this task for every schema for which you want to enable these options.
Procedure
- Open a Schema for editing.
- On the General tab, select one or both of the following options:
- If you want to make any of the fields of this Schema publishable, select this option: Enable each Schema field to be made publishable when authors publish an item based on this Schema
- If you also want to make any of the fields of this Schema searchable on the website, select this option: Enable each Schema field to be made searchable for website visitors
- If you selected one or both options in the preceding step, you can now select individual fields to be made publishable and searchable. Go to the Design tab and do one or both of the following;
- In the Schema Fields list, select each field that you want to be publishable, and then in the Field Details area, select this option: Publish this field when you publish an item that uses this Schema
- If you also want to make the field searchable on the website, select this option: Make this field searchable for website visitors
- Repeat step 3 for each field.
- Select Save and Close to commit your changes to the schema.
