Extended Data Model Customization
More Power for Your On-Demand Database
- Customize or extend the Salesforce data model with clicks, not code

- Enforce policies through smart defaulting and enhanced security
- Drive better decisions and exercise business control through formulas
Custom objects and fields are essential tools for customizing your Salesforce application or building entirely new custom applications for your organization. They abstract database tables into business entities and encapsulate a rich set of built-in functionality so that you can customize with clicks—not code—and upgrade with ease. Salesforce.com calls this meta customization, and Winter ’07 delivers significant innovations that expand the breadth and depth of applications that you can create on the Apex platform.
This feature is available in all Editions except where noted.
Custom Fields
Custom fields allow you to capture the data you need to run your business. Simply configure your own fields and layouts with point-and-click ease. This allows you to standardized data, formalize processes, and report on key metrices.Custom Tabs and Objects
Now everyone can be a customizer! With Winter ’06, custom tabs, custom
objects, and custom related lists are available in Team, Professional,
and Enterprise Edition. Team Edition customers can extend their CRM
solutions to support their unique business requirements by creating new
tabs (e.g., Competitors, Expense Reports, or Customer References).
Moreover, Team Edition customers can leverage custom tabs and
AppExchange OS to easily build new on-demand applications for managing
all their business information (e.g., recruiting, project management,
change management, content management, and more).
This feature is available in all Editions.
Workflow on Custom Objects
Control and consistency of your internal business processes is crucial
to operational efficiency. Workflow capabilities in Salesforce such as
dynamic task creation and assignment already help enforce sales,
service, and marketing processes. In Winter ’06, that same workflow
functionality is now available to automate other business processes
that companies have incorporated into Salesforce custom objects.
This feature is available in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions.
