Notes

In Salesforce, objects are essentially database tables that store specific types of data, such as accounts, contacts, leads, opportunities, and cases. There are two types of objects in Salesforce: standard objects and custom objects.

Standard objects are pre-built objects that are included in Salesforce by default. Examples of standard objects include Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, and Case. These objects are designed to support common business processes and can be customized to meet the needs of the organization.

Custom objects, on the other hand, are objects that are created by the user or administrator to store data that is unique to their business. Custom objects can be used to track any type of data that is not already covered by the standard objects. For example, a custom object could be created to track employee training records, project management data, or customer satisfaction surveys.

Custom objects can be created and customized using the Salesforce platform's point-and-click interface or by writing code using Salesforce's programming language, Apex. Custom objects can have their own custom fields, layouts, and business logic that are specific to the organization's needs.

Overall, the ability to create custom objects in Salesforce allows organizations to tailor the platform to their unique business needs and processes.

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.

External Objects are the objects which you create map to the data stored outside your organization.
