  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 relationships cause Lookup fields to be added to the objects, with names like "related_to_X". For example, the OrderItems object will have a field named related_to_Orders.
