Create Custom Objects

Custom objects let you store information unique to your business that standard objects don't cover. For example: Projects, Products, Tickets, or Listings.

Note

Not sure if you need an object or a field? See Understanding Your Data Model for guidance.

Steps

  1. Go to Settings → Data Model
  2. Click + Add object
  3. Fill in:
    • Singular name (e.g., "Listing")
    • Plural name (e.g., "Listings")
    • Icon
    • Description (optional)
  4. Click Save

Your object appears in the sidebar immediately.

Next: Add Fields

New objects start with basic fields. Add custom fields to capture the data you need:

  1. In Settings → Data Model, select your object
  2. Click + New Field
  3. Choose a field type, configure, and save

See How to Create Custom Fields for details on field types and configuration.

Connecting to Other Objects

To link your object to People, Companies, or other objects, create a relation field. See How to Create Relation Fields.

Deactivating an Object

If you no longer need an object:

  1. Go to Settings → Data Model → object of your choice → Settings
  2. Click the Deactivate button

The object is hidden but data is preserved. You can reactivate or permanently delete later.
