Schema Documentation Description The Schema Documentation uses diagrams that describe the Schema structures and data points. The Documentation details the components of the XML Schema Documentation (XSD) file. The XML elements are divided into Complex types (a collection of related data points) and Simple types (a single fact value). Each XML element and XML attribute is hyperlinked to the diagram and description for the particular data point.

Click the Root Element to jump to the diagrams and descriptions of the elements and data types. For example, clicking RealEC-XML jumps to the diagram and description for the root element, as shown below: Click Header in the children row to display the entire Header element:

Displaying Children Elements A plus sign on the diagram indicates that the node has children elements or containers. Click the names in the children row to view the children elements and containers.

Optional and Required Data Points Solid lines around an element indicate the data point is required. Dashed lines around the data point indicates the data point is optional. In the following example, DataName and DataValue are required, while DataLabel is optional. Note: The Schema Documentation describes general RealEC required and optional data points. For account- specific requirements for the data points, please see your Provider Implementation Guide or contact your account manager for further details.
