About SalesForce Objects

 
The Salesforce app is a set of objects, fields, and other functionalities that support developing a business process. Objects are tables in the Salesforce database that store the specific information, which is called standard objects like accounts and contacts. Custom objects are the property object. Records are rows in object database tables. Records are the actual data associated with an object. Fields are columns in object database tables. Both standard and custom objects have fields. On our property object, we have fields like address and price.
