System Object Types

Main System Objects

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

System Object (As shown in the Platform UI)	Object Type Identifier	Reference Information	Customization Capabilities
Case	cases	REST API:record Resource	Virtually unlimited ability to Customize Objects
Role	ROLE	REST API:role Resource	none
User	USER	REST API:user Resource	Add Fields Modify labels of existing fields Use a restricted set of Event Rules and Scheduled Rules
Team	TEAM	REST API:team Resource	Use a restricted set of Event Rules and Scheduled Rules
User Team	USER_TEAM	REST API:userTeam Resource	none

Related System Objects

__TBD: Move User_Team object here??__

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
History	history
Tasks	tasks

Adding and Accessing Related System Object Records

Considerations:

• Add attachments and tasks to the appropriate object.
• Inspect those objects to get a list. Filter it to get the items that relate a particular record.
• Add private notes to the History object, specifying the category field with value="29"
• To get a list of private notes attached to a record, inspect the History object. Filter it to:

• Return only those items where the related_to field matches the record of interest
• Return only those items where the category field has the value "29" (a string).
