Common:Object Construction

1. Click [Define Fields]

2. Specify object labels:
   • Plural Label - The label used when the context is the object itself, or to the collection of records it contains
   • Singular Label - The label used when the context is a single record stored in the object

3. 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
4. Follow the prompts to add additional information, depending on the field type.
5. When done defining fields, click [Save]

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

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.
