### Importing an XML schema

Before an XML schema is transformed to relational tables, it must be imported. JReport Designer provides two ways for you to import an XML schema: importing from an XSD file or parsing from an XML instance. After importing, in order to provide a precision schema to be transformed, you can supplement or modify properties of the imported schema according to your requirements.

This section describes the following tasks related to importing XML schemas:

- Importing from an XSD file
- Importing by parsing an XML instance
- Supplementing information for the XML schema
