Description:
The text on the Object Creation Options screen (part of the Schema Creation step) is misleading in a couple of places:-

Under the "Database Object Creation Parameters" heading, the text refers to defining how the *bulk transfer* should be preformed.

The text beside the Create Objects Online tick box is misleading.

How to repeat:
Open the Migration Toolkit and step through a migration until you reach the Object Creation Options screen.

Suggested fix:
Under the "Database Object Creation Parameters" heading, the text would be better if it referred to defining how the *object creation* should be performed.

The text beside the Create Objects Online tick box would be better if it used a version of the text from the similar Data Mapping Options screen.  Perhaps something like:
"Keep this option selected to create the database objects now.  If you want to create the objects at a later point in time, deactivate this option and enable the option to create a script file instead."
It would also be nice if this text included a warning that any existing database will be dropped and re-created.
