In the context of Zesty.io Content Management System (CMS), a schematic, also known as a content models or schema, is a structured representation of the different types of content that a business uses. Each content instance has its own schema. Schema outlines the content's attributes, types, relationships, and other defining characteristics. A well-defined schematic facilitates more effective content management and delivery, as it provides a clear framework for creating, organizing, storing, and retrieving content. It essentially serves as a blueprint for your content, allowing you to structure it in a way that supports your specific needs, whether you're managing a blog, product catalogue, FAQs, or any other type of content.

The configuration of a schematic in Zesty.io can be tailored to suit virtually any business need. This is achieved by defining different content types and attributes, setting up relationships between different pieces of content, and creating rules for content creation and management. For example, an e-commerce business can set up a schematic that defines product content types, attributes such as name, description, price, and category, and relationships with other content types such as related products or product reviews. This helps to ensure that all product information is consistently structured and easily manageable, leading to a more efficient content management process and a better user experience. By providing a flexible and adaptable content structure, a well-configured schematic can significantly enhance a business's ability to manage and deliver high-quality content.

Content models are the foundation of Zesty.io's schema. They define the structure and organization of content within the CMS. Models represent different types of content, such as blog posts, products, or events. Each model consists of various fields that capture specific data related to that content type.
