The Select or Create New Platform panel of the Create New Entity Schema wizard lets you create a new platform. You can also extend an existing platform that you have already created for creating a new entity.
You must create a platform for creating an entity based on which an asset type is created. For example, if you have an application, DB2 and you want to collect data for all the DB2 servers, then you can define a platform called DB2. The platform, entity, and fields information are required for defining the entity schema.
