Objects in Salesforce

Some Housekeeping Rules……

• Mute your mic.

• Keep adding questions in Chat Window
• Questions will be answered in the last 10 mins of this session.
What is Object:
• In Salesforce, we think about database tables as objects, we think about columns as fields,
and rows as records.

• In Simple word Salesforce Objects are like Database Tables.

• Salesforce supports several different types of objects. There are standard objects, custom
objects, external objects, platform events, and BigObjects. In this class, we focus on the two
most common types of objects: standard and custom.
What is Standard & Custom Object:
• Standard objects are objects that are included with Salesforce. Common business objects
like Account, Contact, Lead, and Opportunity are all standard objects.

• Custom objects are objects that you create to store information that’s specific to your
company or industry. Custom objects created by the user on the basis of requirements.

For DreamHouse, Kuldeep wants to build a custom Property object that stores information
about the homes his company is selling.

Tabs in Salesforce

• Custom Object Tabs display the data of your custom object in a user interface tab.
• Custom object tabs look and function just like standard tabs.
• Custom tabs let you display custom object data or other web content in Salesforce.
When you add a custom tab to an app in Salesforce Classic, it displays as a tab.
When you add a custom tab to an app in Lightning Experience, it displays as an
item in the app’s navigation bar.
• In Simple words, A tab is a User interface to create records for an object and to view
the records in objects.
