 # How to build your fine-tuning schema

+In conversational language understanding projects, the *schema* is defined as the combination of intents and entities within your project. Schema design is a crucial part of your project's success. When creating a schema, think about which intents and entities should be included in your project.
 
 ## Guidelines and recommendations
 
 Consider the following guidelines when picking intents for your project:
 
-  1. Create distinct, separable intents. An intent is best described as action the user wants to perform. Think of the project you're building and identify all the different actions your users may take when interacting with your project. Sending, calling, and canceling are all actions that are best represented as different intents. "Canceling an order" and "canceling an appointment" are very similar, with the distinction being *what* they are canceling. Those two actions should be represented under the same intent, *Cancel*.
-  
-  2. Create entities to extract relevant pieces of information within your text. The entities should be used to capture the relevant information needed to fulfill your user's action. For example, *order* or *appointment* could be different things a user is trying to cancel, and you should create an entity to capture that piece of information.

-You can *"send"* a *message*, *"send"* an *email*, or *"send"* a package. Creating an intent to capture each of those requirements will not scale over time, and you should use entities to identify *what* the user was sending. The combination of intents and entities should determine your conversation flow.

 ### Define entity options
 
 Change to the **Entity options** pivot in the entity details page. When multiple components are defined for an entity, their predictions may overlap. When an overlap occurs, each entity's final prediction is determined based on the [entity option](../concepts/entity-components.md#entity-options) you select in this step. Select the one that you want to apply to this entity and select the **Save** button.
