Every Kadoa workflow has a Data Schema that defines what data to extract from a source. When you create a workflow with the Kadoa Assistant, it builds the schema for you, and you can review and customize it in the Schema panel. For an overview of schemas and available data types, see Schemas. Schema panel showing the field list, inline field details, and JSON editor control

​
How the schema is created

  • If you name the fields in your prompt (for example, “extract title, price, and rating”), the Assistant uses exactly those.
  • If you don’t, the Assistant recommends fields based on the source.
Either way, you can adjust everything before you approve. The schema lives in its own Schema tab; the Pipeline tab shows how fields are transformed after extraction.

​
Edit the fields

Click a field for read-only details; the pencil opens an inline edit form. Add field opens a dialog, JSON enables bulk editing, and Reorder rearranges fields. Mark fields as key fields to improve record matching and data quality. Tip: mark scalar STRING, NUMBER, or LINK fields expected to be unique and non-empty as key fields. In JSON, set isKey: true. Learn more in Data Quality. When you add a field, you can pick a data type or a function — a field Kadoa computes for you, such as Unique ID or Custom categories.

​
Use an existing schema

Instead of starting fresh, you can base the schema on:
  • Your schemas: schemas you have created before.
  • Kadoa schemas: pre-built schemas for common use cases.
Customize any selected schema by adding, removing, or renaming fields.
If your workflow uses a template, its schema is managed by the template. Edit it through the template instead of here.

​
Reuse a schema across workflows

To reuse the same schema across multiple workflows, save it in a template. A template packages a prompt, schema, data quality rules, and notification settings into a reusable, versioned unit.
  1. Open Templates and click Create template
  2. Define your fields in the Schema tab, or save an existing workflow’s schema as a template
  3. When you create a workflow, choose the template to pre-fill its schema
Updating the template’s schema and publishing a new version rolls the change out to every linked workflow.
