A selection schema is a repository object used in dictionary to automatically select elements based on specified criteria. Selection schemas are created as dictionary children; they are not displayed in the object navigator, but can be used in all the objects that use the parent dictionary.
TIP. For details about applying of selection schemas, see the Using Selection Schema article.
A selection schema is built from single selection types.
A selection type is a rule, based on which elements are selected. All selection types are applied in the order of their creation.
Selection schemas can be managed:

In the desktop application in the Selection Schemas dialog box available in the object navigator and in tools of Foresight Analytics Platform: Dashboards, Analytical Queries (OLAP), Reports.
