Creating a custom object

A custom object is a general-purpose object that is used to track physical items, such as magnetic tapes and disks. You can customize custom objects by adding properties and assigning subclasses to the objects.

About this task

Custom objects share some similarities with document objects, where they can be filed and unfiled in folders. You can also annotate, copy, delete and rename, and change the class of custom objects. However, custom objects are different from documents in that they cannot be versioned and they do not have content.

Procedure

To create a custom object:

  1. Start the New Custom Object wizard in the administration console:
    1. In the domain navigation pane, select the object store.
    2. In the object store navigation pane, right-click Data Design > Classes > Custom Object and select New Custom Object.
  2. Complete the wizard.
