JSON Schema
Configure a workflow step that defines structured fields and returns JSON-shaped output for later steps
Use JSON Schema when you want a workflow step to define a structured output shape that later steps can reference field by field.
Configuration
Name
No
Label for the step in the workflow canvas.
Schema Items
Yes
Rows in Schema Items. Each row has a Key and a Value / Description field.
Add this step from the Utilities group in Search steps....
In Schema Items, click Add Item to add another field. Each row lets you define the output key and describe the value that key should hold. The Value / Description field supports Insert Variable.
Output
Click Run in the step header to test the step. Fetch Hive shows the generated result in Output after the run completes.
Use the variable picker in a later step to insert the exact output path for your run. The base reference is:
{{STEP_IDENTIFIER.output}}If you want the full structured result, reference the base output directly:
{{step_2.output}}If your run returns nested keys, the variable picker shows the exact fields you can insert into later steps.
Example
Add JSON Schema from the Utilities group in Search steps....
Set Name to something like Article fields.
In Schema Items, add keys such as title, summary, and sentiment.
For each item, describe what the value should contain in Value / Description. If a field should depend on earlier workflow data, click Insert Variable and add that reference.
Click Run and review the structured result in Output before using those keys in later steps.
Notes
The settings sheet lets you add and remove schema rows with Add Item and the delete action on each row.
This step editor does not show a When the step fails control in its settings sheet.
Use the variable picker after a test run if you want to confirm the exact keys available to later steps.
