Building a flexible data model in Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) relies entirely on Field Groups. Formerly known as "Mixins," Field Groups are the reusable building blocks that allow you to extend your XDM Schemas to capture the specific data your business needs.
In this video, we dive deep into the architecture of Field Groups. I will show you how to browse Adobe's repository of standard industry Field Groups and, more importantly, how to build your own custom Field Groups from scratch when the out-of-the-box options aren't enough.
In this video, we cover:
The Concept: What are Field Groups and why are they modular? (Mixins vs. Field Groups).
Standard Field Groups: How to use pre-built groups like "Commerce Details" or "Personal Contact Details" to save time.
Custom Field Groups: A step-by-step guide to creating a new Field Group, adding objects, and defining data types (strings, integers, booleans).
Multi-Schema Usage: How to reuse the same Field Group across different schemas to ensure data consistency.
Best Practices: Naming conventions and structuring your custom data elements.
