# How to Configure Schema Consolidation

Schema consolidations are used to reduce schemas into a smaller schema using regex expressions.

This is useful when you have multiple schemas that contain similar data and you want to simplify your data model.

For example, if you have a schema for each region, you could consolidate them into a single schema that contains all the data for all regions. This would make it easier to query the data and create reports.

### 1. Enter the Name for the new Conslidation

For example: `X|Gfs|Shipment`

### 2. Enter the Search Regex for the new Conslidation

For example: `X|Gfs|Shipment|`

### 3. Enter the Search Regex for the Conslidation

For example: `|\d+`

### 4. Save the new Schema Consolidation
