Lesson: 59 | What is the difference between custom and standard object?

Notes

Notes

In Salesforce, a standard object is a pre-built object that comes with the platform and is available to all users. These objects include common business entities such as accounts, contacts, leads, and opportunities, and they have standard fields and functionality that are designed to meet most business needs.

On the other hand, a custom object is a user-defined object that is created by an organization to store data specific to their business processes or industry requirements. Custom objects can have custom fields, relationships, and functionality that are tailored to the organization's specific needs.

The main difference between custom and standard objects is that standard objects are pre-built and come with pre-defined fields and functionality, while custom objects are created by the user and can be customized to fit their specific needs. Another difference is that standard objects are generally used for common business processes, while custom objects are used for more specialized or unique processes that are specific to an organization's needs.

Standard objects have standard security and sharing settings that cannot be changed, while custom objects can have custom security and sharing settings that are designed to fit an organization's specific needs.

Overall, both custom and standard objects have their own benefits and are designed to serve different purposes. Standard objects provide a foundation for common business processes, while custom objects allow users to create a data model that is specific to their organization's unique requirements.
