Custom Objects

A Custom Object is an object that has been created by a user or an application.

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

To examine attributes of a Custom Object, go to > Customization > Objects > {object}

For example, to see the fields defined for a Custom Object go to > Customization > Objects > {object} > Fields
