XML Schema Definition Properties

Use a XML Schema Definition (XSD) to define the rules, constraints and structure an XML document should adhere to. XML Schema Definition can be used by   XML Validate actions in Actionflows to verify that each element, attribute or data type in an XML document is compliant. 

Worked Example

For full details on how to create XML Schema Definitions, including worked examples, see XML Validate Action Configuration and for their  Properties, see XML Validate Action Properties.
