Object (CRM)

A database table in CRM that stores specific types of records.

Complete Definition

Objects in CRM are the fundamental data structures that store information. Standard objects (Contact, Company, Deal) are provided out-of-the-box, while custom objects can be created for unique business needs. Each object has fields (properties), relationships to other objects, and associated permissions, page layouts, and automation. Understanding the object model is crucial for effective CRM customization.
