System Object Types

System Objects are listed here, showing the names that appear in the UI, along with the object-type identifiers used in the APIs.

These objects are related to records in other objects. The objects are not visible as independent entities in the UI. The records they contain can be see only by viewing the records they are related to. However, they can be accessed programmatically:

System Object	Object Type Identifier	Reference Information
Attachments	attachments	In each record: set the muli-object lookup field, related_to to reference the object and record the item relates to. For example: "cases:345rjkz921", where 345rjkz921 is the ID of a record in the cases object. Learn more: Multi Object Lookup
