Objects, fields and records
The spreadsheet analogy that makes the whole data model click.
Think spreadsheets, briefly.
The mapping
- Object = a table (e.g. Account, Contact)
- Field = a column (e.g. Phone, Industry)
- Record = a row (one actual account)
Standard objects ship with Salesforce; custom objects are ones you build.
