# IoT Events

* [[user-guide-iot-event-definition-index]] - a page that allows you to define and manage **IoT Event Definitions**, which represent the structure of the events that can be used to ingest data into Data Platform.
* [[user-guide-iot-schema-index]] - a page that allows you to define and manage **IoT Schemas**, which specify generic data structures that can be reused when defining IoT Events.
* [[user-guide-data-platform-workflows]] - automation workflows applicable to **Data Platform** scenarios; these workflows will run in real time whenever a new event is published, and can be used for numerous purposes, from event enrichment to real time machine learning predictions.
* [[user-guide-data-platform-uns-connectivity]] - understand how Light CDM Events and the UNS Connector publish real-time manufacturing events to an MQTT broker for external consumption.
