Once the global elements are part of your form’s Data Sources you can generate controls for any or all of them.  As shown below complex types are represented by a folder icon; simple types by a document icon.

To generate a group control that automatically includes controls for all of a parent element’s children, click the icon to the right of the complex type’s folder icon. The controls for the children elements will be inside a section control.  If the complex type has repeating items, the section will be inside a repeat control. 

...

You can then place the controls where you want by following the normal drag and drop rules, with one additional restriction: you cannot drag any control into or out of a repeat control generated from a schema element. (If you need to do this, you will have to edit the schema.) Rearranging the controls will not affect the structure of the form’s XML submission documents or how submission data is captured.

Note

When a from palette form's XSD is imported as a Data Source into a new form, tab controls are lost .

Data and Display Types

Most controls generated from schema elements will appear initially as text controls. For example an xsd:integer type will appear as a text input control. However all validation for the controls will be based on the schema datatype. For example an xsd:integer type will only allow numeric values.

...

If you choose to do this, be certain that none of your forms rely on elements from this schema. Any forms that use elements from the deleted elements will be adversely affected, so  will prevent you from deleting any schemas that are currently in use. You will see this message that list all the forms/flows that are using the schema.

If you still need to delete the schema, edit each form/flow listed in the warning message and remove it from the form/flow data source. Then go back to the Schemas tab and delete the schema.
