Notes

 

The Notes page or tab can be added to any object, allowing user to enter any information that they want.  Notes can be customized to your purposes by adding fields and creating a page layout to it, just like a custom object.

 

Permissions are required to work with Custom Objects and in the Setup

 

Notes are a custom object that can be added into your application and onto other objects as a plug-in.  You can customize the information in the notes by adding new fields, and add notes to any object that you want.  For example, notes could be used to record details of phone calls to customers, information about orders, etc.

 

The basic Note object has a Subject and Body field where you can add information.  

 

Notes are like other custom objects, except that you can only have one page layout for notes.

You can add Notes to any object or objects from the Notes object itself, rather than editing every object by itself and adding Notes to it.

  8.  

     

  9. Close the window.

  10. The object now appears in the Objects list.
