Common:Object Construction

1. Click [Define Fields]

2. Define up to 10 fields, to get started. (You can add more later.) For each field, specify:
   • Field Label - The label users will see
   • Internal Field Name - The internal reference name. (Created for you. Modifiable, but generally best left alone.)
   • Field Type - Pick one of the many choices
3. Follow the prompts to add additional information, depending on the field type.
4. When done defining fields, click [Save]

To add additional objects, click [Add an Object] and repeat the process.

Next, establish relationships between the application objects:

1. Click [Add a Relationship]
2. Under Relationships select the objects to fill in the blanks:

   Between __{baseObject}__ and __{relatedObject}__

3. Specify the Relationship Type:
   • One to Many - One {baseObject} record can be related to many {relatedObject} records

     For example: One Order can have many OrderItems.

   • Many to Many - One {baseObject} record can be related to many {relatedObject} records, and each of the {relatedObject} records can be related to many {baseObject} records

     For example: One Order can have many Tags, and one Tag can be applied to many Orders.

   The objects are now connected by Lookup fields.
   (They'll have names like "related_to_Orders". )
