Salesforce Object's
Hello Friends,
In this blog, we are going to learn about salesforce objects.
Like what is the salesforce object?
How many types of salesforce objects?
Salesforce objects are database tables that permit you to store the data specific to an organization.
For Example, we have a table in HTML which refers to salesforce object, table Header refers to salesforce object field's and table ROW's refers to salesforce object records.
Salesforce objects are of two types:
- Standard Objects: Standard objects are the kind of objects that are provided by salesforce.com, such as users, accounts, contracts, reports, dashboards, etc.
- Custom Objects: Custom objects are those that are created by users. It supplies information that is unique and essential to their organization. It is the heart of any application. It provides a structure for sharing data.
Properties of custom objects:
- Custom fields
- Custom and Standard Button's
- Relationship to another object
- Page layouts
- A custom user interface tab
Creating a Salesforce Custom Object
Follow the below path to create a custom object:
Setup > Build > Create > Objects > on the screen, click on the new custom object button > enter label name, plural label, and object name > enter record name as a data type.
Note: object name will automatically populate and you can also change the object API name but you can create an object by adding __c after the object name because this is preserved by salesforce and it will automatically append after you save the object.
To create a record name, first, consider the two data types:
- Text: Entered by the user while creating the object records, can be changed after the record is saved.
- Auto-number: Automatically populated once the record is created, can't change its value.
You also have some optional features while creating objects:
- Allow reports: If you tick off this checkbox, then only these objects will be available to make reports.
- Allow activities: If you tick off this checkbox, then you are able to make activities on this object.
- Track field history: When you tick off this checkbox, then you can merely track fields. You can track up to 20 fields for a single object.
Now, you have the following deployment modes:
- In development: If you check this option, then this object will remain in the development mode. It will not be present for deployment.
- Deployed: When you check this option, the object will be available for deployment.
The following options are available only when you are creating a custom object for the first time:
- Add notes and attachments related list
- Launch a new custom tab wizard after saving this custom object
- After completing all these settings, press the Save button.
If you do not select ‘Launch new custom tab wizard’ from the object creation page, then the object would be saved without the tab appearance. In such a case, first, you need to make a tab for this object. On the other hand, if you select this option, the object would be saved, along with a tab would be created, which will be visible to you.
