# SchemaSettings

Represents an org’s schema settings, which manage the availability of custom settings and custom metadata type values. This type extends the Metadata metadata type and inherits its fullName field.

In the package manifest, all organization settings metadata types are accessed using the Settings name. See [Settings](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_settings.htm "Represents the organization settings related to a feature. For example, your password policies, session settings and network access controls are all available in the SecuritySettings component type.") for details.

## File Suffix and Directory Location

SchemaSettings values are stored in the Schema.settings file in the settings directory. The .settings files are different from other named components because there’s only one settings file for each settings component.

## Version

## Declarative Metadata Sample Definition

The following is an example of a SchemaSettings

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SchemaSettings xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <enableAdvancedCMTSecurity\>true</enableAdvancedCMTSecurity\>
    <enableAdvancedCSSecurity\>true</enableAdvancedCSSecurity\>
    <enableListCustomSettingCreation\>false</enableListCustomSettingCreation\>
    <enableSOSLOnCustomSettings\>true</enableSOSLOnCustomSettings\>
</SchemaSettings\>

The following is an example package.xml that references the previous definition.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types\>
        <members\>Schema</members\>
        <name\>Settings</name\>
    </types\>   
    <version\>47.0</version\>
</Package\>

## Wildcard Support in the Manifest File

The wildcard character \* (asterisk) in the package.xml manifest file doesn’t apply to metadata types for feature settings. The wildcard applies only when retrieving all settings, not for an individual setting. For details, see [Settings](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.264.0.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_settings.htm). For information about using the manifest file, see [Deploying and Retrieving Metadata with the Zip File](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.264.0.api_meta.meta/api_meta/file_based_zip_file.htm).
