# Simplified input data schema

This diagram is a minimal example of the data schema. It shows only the fields which are **mandatory (in bold)**, strongly recommended, or which are required to link data together within or between files. Fields with a \* are a primary key.

RIDX is a **mandatory** field in any file that includes it. Without including your RIDX, records cannot be linked to your references and data loading will fail.&#x20;

There are additional fields which are not mandatory, which are outlined in the [Field names and data types](/chembl-data-deposition-guide/~/revisions/t4ziM1Dk3kUY0U850C3g/file-structure/field-names-and-data-types-minimal-data-submission.md) section.
