Discovery
Discovery connectors are responsible for discovering the schema, or the metadata about the repository. This will include content types and their associated properties. A discovery schema can then be used to aid in creating Job Mappings or to simply find out what's in the repository. Running a discovery instance will create a new version of the schema. Whatever version you select will be used when creating mappings.
This view will list all of your Schema Instances. From this view you can view and manage your Discovery Schema Instances.
Click the New Data Set button to create a new schema instance. Select View All to go to the full list of schema instances and additional filters.
