Optional Attributes
An optional attribute is one that can be filled in if desired but can be left without content. For
example, if a new User object is being created using the User class, which has Other Names as an
optional attribute, then the new User object can be created with or without data provided for that
attribute, depending on whether the new user is known by other names.
An exception to the rule is when an optional attribute is used for naming, the attribute then becomes
mandatory.
1.4.4 Sample Schema
Figure 1-13 on page 51
is a sample of part of a schema, which might be similar to your base schema.
This figure shows information on the Organization class. Most of the information displayed on this
screen was specified when the class was created. Some of the optional attributes were added later.
Description: Extensions to the base schema object icon
This icon is assigned to all classes and
attributes that are extensions to the base schema.

1.4.5 Designing the Schema
Designing your schema initially can save you time and effort in the long run. You can view the base
schema and determine if it will meet your needs or if modifications are required. If changes are
needed, use Schema Manager to extend the schema. See
Section 4.1, “Extending the Schema,” on
page 121
and
Section 4.2, “Viewing the Schema,” on page 125
for more information.
