How to Create a Custom Object in Salesforce

‍

Here's how to create a custom object in Salesforce:

1. Go to Setup in the top right corner.
2. In the Quick Find box, type "Object Manager" and select it.
3. In the top right corner, click the Create button.
4. Select Custom Object from the dropdown menu.
5. Fill in Details:
   • Label: Give your object a clear name (e.g., Project).
   • Plural Label: Define the plural form of the label (e.g., Projects).
6. Hit Save.
7. Configure Additional items like “Object Classification” and “Deployment Status”.
8. Check the Allow Search box.
9. Hit Save again.

Note:

• Keep the Deployment Status “In Development” so you can text the object; and push it to “Deployed” after the test.
• If your custom object interacts with other objects (e.g., Projects linked to Contacts), establish relationships to connect them.
• For easy access, create a custom tab to display your new object within the Salesforce interface.
