Objects

Basics

Objects are tables in the FieldFX database that store records.

Standard Objects

  • Standard objects are Salesforce database tables

  • Examples of standard objects include Account and Contact

Custom Objects

  • Custom objects are FieldFX or user-defined database tables

  • Examples of custom objects include Job and Ticket

  • As a best practice, never add a custom object that has the same name as a FieldFX object
