Custom Objects

A Custom Object is an object that has been created by a user or an application. It can be modeled after any of the standard System Objects, or it can be entirely unique.

Find the Object Type

To find an object type identifier:

1. Click > Customization > Objects
2. In the Display Title column, find the object you're looking for.
3. The Object Name column has the identifier you need.

Alternatively:

1. Go to > Customization > Objects > {object}
2. Click Properties
3. The object name appears at the top of the page

Note: For objects that are not listed, see the System Objects page. The Object Name is typically used as the identifier, because it is human-readable for both System Objects and Custom Objects. Object ID can be used, as well, but it is human-readable only for System Objects.

View Object Attributes

You examine attributes of Custom Objects in the same way you view attributes for Custom Objects.

For example, to see the fields defined for a Custom Object:

Designer > Objects > {object} > Fields

Standard Fields

These fields are predefined in platform objects.
