Feature Management in Schematic enables you to control how product features are rolled out, accessed by end customers, and monetized. Unlike traditional feature management tools, Schematic is purpose-built with billing in mind, so feature access can be tied directly to a company’s plan and any other policy set up in Schematic (e.g. add ons, overrides, or individual targeting).
An entitlement is the right to use a feature—defined by the relationship between a plan (or add on) and that feature. When you check whether a company has access to a feature, you’re evaluating their entitlements (and any overrides or targeting rules). Entitlements can be boolean (on/off), limited by traits, or metered by usage.
When your app calls check(company, feature) (via the API or an SDK), Schematic combines the company’s plan entitlement with any company-specific overrides and takes the most generous of those values. If that doesn’t resolve to a result, it falls back to global rules (e.g. trait or segment-based). If nothing matches, the feature is disabled by default. The diagram below shows this flow.
