A Custom Object is an object that has been created by a user or an application.
Find the Object Type
To find an object type identifier:
- Click
> Customization > Objects - In the Display Title column, find the object you're looking for.
- The Object Name column has the identifier you need.
Alternatively:
- Go to > Customization > Objects > {object}
- Click Properties
- The object name appears at the top of the page
Note:
- For objects that are not listed, see the System Objects page.
- The Object Name is typically used as the identifier, because it is human-readable for both System Objects and Custom Objects. Object ID can be used, as well, but it is human-readable only for System Objects.
View Object Attributes
To examine attributes of a Custom Object, go to 
> Customization > Objects > {object}
For example, to see the object fields, go to > Customization > Objects > {object} > Fields
